Submersible conditioning pumps by Vaughan available from John Brooks Company

Vaughan produces a line of conditioning pumps.

John Brooks Company Limited works with many great manufacturers, including Vaughan Company. Vaughan makes a unique series of submersible conditioning pumps, each of which is mounted on a portable stand and fits with a high-velocity mixing nozzle. These versatile Vaughan units work for various applications.

Among the many uses for these conditioning pumps are lift-station, basin, influent-station/channel, and holding-tank conditioning, plus digester clean-out or homogenization.

Usable for multiple tasks

Vaughan submersible conditioning pumps work by recirculating the contents of the wet well by chopping and mixing to create a homogeneous mixture that can be pumped out more easily. During operation, floating mats are removed and the pump re-suspends solids that have accumulated on the floor. Since the pumps are mounted on portable stands, customers can easily use them for multiple tasks at the same site or plant.

A diverse range of materials go into the construction of these pumps. Each contains an impeller, upper cutter, cutter bar, and cutter nut built of cast alloy steel, heat-treated to minimum Rockwell C 60. The casing and bearing housing are made of ductile cast iron, with a cartridge-type mechanical seal containing silicone carbide seal faces and a stainless steel sleeve. The pumps also have back-to-back angular contact ball-type thrust bearings and lubrication with ISO Grade 46 hydraulic oil, and they are coated with epoxy paint.

Key features of these submersible conditioning pumps from John Brooks Company:

• Ability to mix a wet well of up to 12,000 gallons with only 7½ horsepower.
• Condition tank contents that prevent plugging of standard non-clog pumps and help protect downstream equipment.
• Paint system formulated to withstand tough wastewater environments.
• Portable configuration, complete with stand for easy installation.
• Standard sizes from three to six inches, with motors from five to 40 horsepower and flows from 400 to 1,800 gallons per minute; large models also available.
