VERTICAL TURBINE PUMP

A NEW TWIST ON A
PROVEN DESIGN
Cornell Pump’s Cyclone VT pump
NEW!
series relies on our demonstrated superior
hydraulics, in a submerged design. The proven
quality of the Cornell RB series is recast into a short
set vertical turbine pump. Boasting energy efficiencies up
to 89%, with no priming required, the Cyclone is the vertical
turbine you’d expect from the industry leader in centrifugal
pumps. Designed for ponds, rivers, canals, sumps, and dewatering
applications, the VT series fills a niche where end users need robust
design, quality build, proven hydraulics, and Cornell’s renowned two-year
warranty for peace of mind.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

Spiral bowl construction: Improves flow path and
pump efficiency.
Fewer stages to replace and maintain: Improved
uptime and reduced costs.
Two-year warranty: Industry-leading protection.
VFD Operable: Useable at various speeds for
maximum energy savings.
Large bearings: Product lubricated or oil lubricated.
Keyed and bolted impeller for positive drive.
UNIQUE SPIRAL-SHAPED BOWL Industry standard discharge head configuration
The spiral-shaped bowl designed by Cornell engineers for VHS motors.
allows the pump to use a standard centrifugal
impeller, reducing the number of stages required, Wider flow range per model than standard turbine
and using existing high-efficiency impeller hydraulics, products.
