The pumps can be fitted with Gorman-Rupp Hard Iron or stainless steel. The large back cover plate offers easy access for inspection and maintenanceĪvailable in 3”, 4” and 6” models, the pump housing is made of cast iron. Improved efficiency means lower horsepower that equates to reduced operating costs. Peak unit efficiency is also an improvement over current self-priming, centrifugal, solids handling pumps. The results of thousands of test have shown unparalleled performance, achieving up to 60 percent increased pressure while offering up to 40 percent increased flow over any self-priming centrifugal solids handling pumps of the same size. All of these design features contribute to the pump’s increased performance.Īt the same time, the pump has reduced the noise level over previous pumps while maintaining municipal solids handling requirements. The pump also features improved impeller design geometry and nominally increased shaft speed. An increased suction port size reduces friction losses, decreasing net positive suction head (NPSH) requirements. Improved impeller designīy featuring revolutionary new volute geometry, higher efficiency is achieved. The new Ultra V and the UltraMate from Gorman-Rupp are designed from the ground up with increased performance and serviceability in mind. The combination of the Ultra V and the UltraMate produces up to 325 feet of head, again within the allowable operating region. This is accomplished by using a unique transition chamber which reduces pressure loss, increases efficiencies, and minimizes the required footprint.

This patent pending staged design allows the UltraMate to be mounted directly on top of the Ultra V pump. The combination of the Ultra V and the UltraMate produces up to 325 feet of head For pressures that go beyond the improved capability of this new pump technology, an innovative straight centrifugal, the UltraMate®, has been developed to become an integral part of the Ultra V pumping system.

The pump offers increased pressure/flow range, up to 170 feet of head in the allowable operating region, designed to meet the new challenges presented by end users.

Thousands of hours of research and development and years of experience have resulted in the introduction of Gorman-Rupp’s new Ultra V Series®: self-priming centrifugal trash pump. Professional Engineers and municipal designers have previously had little choice but to overextend pump performance limits of conventional self-priming centrifugal trash pumps, potentially shortening the life of the pump and risking safety issues in the process. Increasingly, end users in the construction, industrial and wastewater markets are realizing the need for higher heads or to pump liquids greater distances, over challenging topography.
