Vaughan Pumps Selection

Vaughan End Suction Solids Chopper Pump

The Vaughan Chopper Solids 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 as standard for maximum impact and wear resistance. Combined together, these heavy duty patented components create the ultimate pump for handling severe solids.  Available in multiple configurations – Horizontal, Electric Submersible, Vertical Wet Well, and Self-Priming.

  • Multiple Cutter Blades - Eliminates plugging issues
  • Heavy Duty Cartridge Seal - Handles toughest slurries
  • Multiple Mounting Configurations - Fits your process needs
  • Flows over 13,000 GPM
  • Hydraulic efficiencies over 70%
  • Non-clogging guarantee on all Chopper pumps
