TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump Typical Service Characteristics • up to 5% solids • grit or other highly abrasive solids • where severe clogging potential exists
TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump Main Applications • grit • primary sludge • scum
Essential Requirements for Recessed Impeller Pumps on Grit & Sludge Services • solids handling capability/non-clogging • protection of casing in area of maximum wear - sacrificial wear element • wear resistant materials of construction • mechanical design for durability and ease of maintenance • hydraulic efficiency
TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump Key Features To Specify • sacrificial & replaceable wear element • casing wall thickness (typically 1/2” to 1” depending on pump size) • hard metal construction of all wet-end components (typically 550 BHN min. hardness) • back pullout powerframe
Vortex Flow Patterns - Radial Vane Impeller Predetermined Area of Maximum Wear - flow from open radial vanes is directed towards the area around the impeller periphery. SACRIFICIAL WEAR ELEMENT HERE.
Vortex Flow Patterns - Cup Type Impeller Predetermined Area of Maximum Wear - flow from impeller is directed at front of casing. SACRIFICIAL WEAR ELEMENT HERE.
Vortex Flow Patterns - Cup Type Impeller Soft babitting material used to secure hard metal impeller on shaft Cup type impeller with non-machined babitted bore

TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump New York City DEP trial Bowery Bay W.W.T.P., primary sludge and grit Inspection photos after 28,000 hours No sign of scouring or wear on front of casing
TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump Worn TORUS Wearplate and Impeller Wear element absorbed brunt of wear Wear restricted to these two replaceable parts
TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump Hunt’s Point W.W.T.P., New York City Primary Sludge & Grit No scouring on front of casing
TORUS Recessed Impeller Pump New York City DEP trial - Bowery Bay W.W.T.P. Primary sludge and grit • wear concentrated at root of vane • no reduction in vane thickness • vane thickness well preserved • pump out vanes slightly worn but still fully functional • pattern number still fully visible
