Chopper Pumps
The Vaughan Chopper Pump is a centrifugal pump with the unique ability of chopping all incoming solids prior to pumping. This not only protects the pump from clogging, but also provides added benefit to downstream components, processes, and the environment.
All wear components are cast steel and heat treated for maximum impact and wear resistance. Combined together, these heavy duty patented components create the ultimate pump for handling severe solids.
This same basic concept has been used in Vaughan's vertical wet well design for almost a half-century.
Chopping is accomplished by the scissor action of the leading edges of the impeller vanes cutting against the opposing edges of the cutter bar.
All solids are chopped as they enter between the cutter bar and the impeller vanes. The smaller solids are easily pumped by the centrifugal action of the impeller.
Rotamix Pumps
Vaughan's Rotamix® system is the most cost effective and lowest Life Cycle Cost process mixing system available for digesters, sludge storage and other high-volume applications. Combining both principles of uniform and vortical rotation, the Rotamix system optimizes solids contact with its unique "dual rotational zone" mixing pattern, plus:
- Improves volatile solids reduction
- Increases gas production
- Reduces sludge volume
- Saves energy during non-peak hours
- Allows continued mixing until tank is empty
- Reduces maintenance by eliminating all rotating equipment within the tank
- Allows use of single mix pump for multiple tanks and transfer
- Prevents clogging with the Vaughan® chopper pump
- Costs less to purchase, install and operate
- Backed by field-experienced experts
- Includes 10-Year full Nozzle Warranty
The Vaughan Rotamix system is exactly what it claims to be - the best mixing system available today. No more issues with conventional systems - just real cost-effective sludge mixing.
Triton Pumps
Vaughan Company, with over 44 years of solids handling experience, introduces the Triton® screw centrifugal pumps, combining the benefits of Vaughan's superior pump designs with the advantages of high efficient, non-clogging performance. The Triton screw centrifugal pump's open channel impeller is ideal for handling thick sludges, large or stringy solids, shear sensitive fluids and delicate or highly abrasive materials.
Unique features include steep performance curves, non-overloading power characteristics, heavy-duty power frames, flushless mechanical seal design to eliminate water flush requirements, or an optional standard power frame with water flushed mechanical seal or packing.
