Chopper pump

Vaughan self-priming centrifugal chopper pumps are suitable for applications in all types of processing industries and in local authority wastewater treatment plants and pump stations where traditional submersible and surface pumps suffer continual clogging problems and pipework blockages.

The self-priming centrifugal chopper pumps use the same design of other Vaughan Chopper Pumps with a hardened impeller, cutter bar, and upper cutter which allows the pump to chop and pump solids laden waste material without clogging the pump. The clearances inside the pumps can be adjusted externally for ease of servicing and the pumps can be glass lined for abrasive wastewater. The pumps can be supplied in four sizes from 100 up to 250 mm suction and discharge.

When trying to pump difficult solids laden wastewater, stormwater, sewage and waste streams containing solids such as mop heads, rags, rope, gloves, plastic lids, bags, spoons, strapping, cardboard, wire, wood, metal strapping, meat wastes, offal, vegetables, chicken wastes, fish wastes, scum and sludge, a Vaughan self-priming chopper pump is designed to handle this with ease.
