Gorman-Rupp Eradicator Solids Management System

Monday, 25 January, 2016 | Supplied by: Hydro Innovations


Gorman-Rupp has released the Eradicator Solids Management System, a pumping system for handling solids-laden wastewater. The system comes as an option on the company’s range of Super T series pumps and is also available as a retrofit kit on existing Super T Series pumps.

The system features an aggressive, self-cleaning wear plate incorporating a number of notches and grooves, as well as a lacerating tooth that helps break up stringy materials, scrape them off the impeller vanes and pass them through the pump. A special cover plate includes a lightweight inspection cover that can be removed if necessary to inspect pump internals.

Benefits are said to include improved and sustainable operational efficiency, increased uptime, reduced maintenance costs, lower life cycle costs and easier access to the impeller. Operators will also find that the cover plate is easy and safe to work with. Internal clearances can be adjusted externally without the need to disconnect pumps from the piping system. This can be done in minutes by one operator to keep the pump at peak efficiency.

Eradicator-equipped pumps do not require chopper blades that need periodic replacement but rely on passing large solids and stringy materials straight through the pump. The system is available with carbon steel or hardened alloy steel wear plates. Pumps can handle flows from 5 through to 200 L/s and heads to 45 m, and Super T Series pumps are able to be mounted up to 7.6 m above the wastewater so that operators gain easy access without the need for cranes or other lifting devices.

The pumps are suitable for water authorities and councils at their wastewater treatment plants and at sewage pumping stations, along with any industry where pumps are required to pump solids-laden water.
