Industrial laundry operations demand reliable, robust equipment that can withstand the unique challenges of high-volume water circulation and waste handling. One pump that stands out as a proven solution for these demanding environments is the Gorman Rupp 10 Series® Self Priming pump.
In this post, we’ll explore the key benefits of this pump and why it’s an excellent choice for industrial laundry applications.
Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Reliability
One of the most significant advantages of the 10 Series® pump is its simple, durable design. The 10 Series® pump features few moving parts, which means less can go wrong and maintenance downtime is kept to a minimum. This is crucial in industrial laundry operations, where any equipment failure can disrupt your entire workflow.
Perhaps even more importantly, if a clog does occur—which is not uncommon in laundry environments—it can be removed easily through the cover plate opening without disturbing piping or requiring special tools. This means your maintenance team can quickly get the pump back online without costly system shutdowns.
Built to Handle Industrial Laundry Challenges
Industrial laundry water is far from clean. It’s filled with soap residue, lint, detergent, and other particulates that can wreak havoc on standard pumps. That’s where the 10 Series® truly shines.
The pump is specifically designed to handle solids, corrosive liquids, and slurries—making it ideally suited for the murky waters of laundry operations. Whether you’re circulating water through industrial washers, treating effluent, or recycling water through your system, this pump won’t shy away from the challenge.
Customizable for Your Specific Needs
Every industrial laundry operation is unique, with different water temperatures, chemical compositions, and flow requirements. The 10 Series® offers a variety of metallurgy and seal configurations to choose from, allowing it to be tailored to your specific operational demands. Whether you’re dealing with hot water, chemical-laden effluent, or recycled water systems, there’s a configuration that will work for your facility.
Impressive Performance Specifications
The 10 Series® is available in multiple sizes from 1-1/2″ to 12″ and can handle solids up to 3 inches, with maximum capacity of 6700 GPM and head pressures up to 130 feet.
