Smith & Loveless Inc., a renowned provider of grit removal technologies for municipal and industrial wastewater applications, introduces the PISTA TURBO Grit Pump as a groundbreaking solution designed exclusively for handling wastewater grit slurry. This innovative pump sets a new standard in the industry for efficient and reliable transfer of grit from the grit chamber to downstream washing and dewatering systems. Available in 4-inch and 6-inch models, the PISTA TURBO Grit Pump can support flow rates of up to 500 gallons per minute (32.5 liters per second).
The PISTA TURBO Grit Pump is engineered for optimal performance, featuring a Ni-Hard recessed impeller and pump volute strategically positioned away from the abrasive flow path. This design not only extends the pump’s lifespan but also ensures consistent and reliable grit pumping operations. Unlike traditional horizontal pump configurations, the vertical construction of this pump eliminates common performance issues such as premature wear, grit deposition, and maintenance-intensive components like v-belts.
Versatility is a key feature of the PISTA TURBO Grit Pump, offering both remote-mounted, flooded suction and top-mounted, vacuum-primed configurations. The top-mounted design provides space-saving benefits, eliminates the need for dedicated pump rooms, and can be seamlessly integrated with Smith & Loveless’ PISTA PRO-PAK for weather-resistant installations in colder climates. The pump is built to last, with heavy-duty stainless-steel shafts and bearings ensuring long-term serviceability. Its simple vertical orientation facilitates easy maintenance, with quick impeller access requiring the removal of only a few cap screws.
The PISTA TURBO Grit Pump supports intermittent operation, controllable by time or differential settings, to minimize energy consumption and wear. Additionally, an optional Storm Mode configuration allows for dual pump setups that feed dual PISTA Grit Concentrators, enhancing redundancy and operational resilience. All components of the pump are engineered and assembled in the United States at Smith & Loveless’ manufacturing facility, ensuring compliance with Build America, Buy America (BABA) provisions and underscoring the company’s dedication to American-made quality.
In addition to the PISTA TURBO Grit Pump, Smith & Loveless offers a range of other cutting-edge products for wastewater treatment. For more information on the PISTA TURBO Grit Pump and other innovative solutions from Smith & Loveless, interested parties can visit the company’s official website.
