The wide diameter impeller and increased cutwater clearance allows for the passing of large solids. The wide clearance between the impeller and suction side ensures that solids are not ground up in the pump as they would be with conventional designs.

With our millMAX suction-side sealing system, the wear ring, the front clearance is adjustable during operation, and takes only five minutes to perform. Because the wear ring can be adjusted while the pump is in operation, the pump achieves a constant flow and pressure, without the need to speed it up. This extends the life of all wet end parts and reduces power consumption.

By eliminating the suction-side recirculation that breaks the vacuum at the eye of the impeller on conventional pumps, the wear ring advantage allows the gravelMAX to pump a higher percent solids and higher density solids than any other pump in its class. The ability to pull a higher vacuum makes our gravelMAX ideal for the dredging industry.

Lower power requirements, long wear life and less pump downtime all result in lower cost-per-ton pumped.

The gravelMAX’s increased clearances, wide diameter impeller and suction-side sealing system work together to offer even and predictable wear rates, less downtime, increased throughput and lower electricity consumption.
