Where Vortex Submersibles Perform
Built for abrasive slurry transfer where seal wear, solids loading and maintenance downtime are common issues. 
Best suited for:
  • Trade waste pits
  • Washdown areas
  • Wastewater with soft solids
  • Site drainage with suspended material
Selection considerations:
  • Check whether solids are soft, fibrous or stringy
  • Confirm the sump size, discharge line and duty cycle
  • Match flow, head and solids passage to the actual application
Industrial Stainless Plant
 For washdown and trade waste duties where suspended solids can create blockage risk.
