VLT Vertical Process Pump 1 Lower overall cost. Cost reduction can be achieved by replacing traditional horizontal centrifugal and reciprocating pumps with Ruhrpumpen VLT pumps resulting in lower connected horsepower, while keeping floor space to a minimum. 2 Less downtime. Column piece are designed so that Shaft critical speeds (Bearing Spans) are within API 610 last edition requirements. All bearing retainers are integrally fabricated into the column sections for alignment and concentricity. 3 Unsurpassed low NPSH. Designed to match series stage flow rates, the exclusive between bearing first...
