The Azcue VSS Vertical Immersion Pump is a higher flow, higher pressure model of cantilever pump designed for the transfer of clean water and oils, unlike the BTR and VRX models that can also handle solids.
Being a vertical line shaft pump, it means that this model's its motor is separated from the pump head, keeping it above liquid level. As the pump head is located within the fluid, vertically immersed pumps maintain a flooded suction. They are therefore ideal for applications where typically a self-priming pump is required, such as the emptying of tanks, reservoirs, sumps and wells require. This is why they are widely referred to as vertical sump pumps.
As this series of Azcue pump is contained within the tank it is also well suited to applications where space saving is required or where if the pump was located outside the suction distance would be too long. Vertical column pumps are also a good alternative to submersible pumps for the handling of such high temperature fluids as not only are their seals located outside the fluid protecting them from degrading, they are not affected by the NPSH issues that can occur when pumping a liquid so close to its boiling point.
Based on DIN 24255, the VSS vertical column pump is manufactured to the same dimensions as alternative models to enable the easy replacement and retrofitting into existing pipework. An additional benefit to aid easy installation is that the discharge pipe of this vertical cantilever pump is fitted level with the motor. Its bottom bearing lubrication enables dry running of the vertical shaft pump if the operator leaves it running once the container is empty, meaning that start-stop float switches are not required.

FAQs
Otherwise known as a vertical column pump, this is where there is an elongated shaft to separate the motor above the fluid from the pump that is immersed in the fluid.
