TURBINE PUMPS
FVT - LINESHAFT TURBINE
FMF - MIXED FLOW TURBINE
FAF - AXIAL FLOW TURBINE
FP-FVT - FIRE PROTECTION LINESHAFT TURBINE
From deep-set vertical lineshaft turbines delivering 2,500 feet of head – to axial-flow turbines moving
40,000 gallons per minute – our array of pumping solutions is engineered to handle the toughest
applications. Vertical lineshaft turbines are ideal for commercial, municipal or industrial settings where
water supply is readily available in rivers, lakes, ponds, streams or water wells. Plus, they come in a
variety of configurations, including mixed or axial flow. Outfitted with ASTM A48 high tensile cast iron
bowls, investment-cast 304 stainless impellers, and bronze bearings standard, you get superior
materials for proven durability, aligned with a highly efficient broad operating range.
