Industrial wastewater applications often require infrastructure designed to stand up to harsh operating environments. With that in mind, Xylem’s Flojet brand has enhanced its VersiJet Series industrial motor driven diaphragm pumps with the introduction of a new, four-chamber model. The pump has been specifically designed to serve industrial applications requiring flow rates of between 3 and 5 gpm.
“The addition of the four-chamber pump to our established VersiJet Series will enhance our Flojet industrial pump portfolio significantly,” says Young Baeg, Associate Product Manager at Jabsco, Flojet, Rule. “By incorporating the robust qualities of our innovative VersiJet Series into this new four-chamber design, we’re offering our industrial OEM customers increased pumping capabilities through a simplified portfolio.”
The pump is the first four-chamber pump available under the Flojet VersiJet Series and replaces the existing Flojet Quad Series, offering higher pressure capabilities, greater ambient temperature resistance and longer pumping life. The pump head has a cast aluminum lower housing for enhanced durability, handling a maximum pressure of up to 60 psi. It also offers improved heat resistance and has been tested to achieve temperature stabilization in elevated ambient conditions of 122 degrees F. This capability opens up the four-chamber design to applications in markets requiring spraying or on-demand pumping in high temperature conditions, unlike the previous Quad Series model. Due to this level of heat durability, the pump is suitable for use in heavy-duty applications.
The newly expanded VersiJet Series, which also includes a five-chamber pump, is capable of handling pressures of up to 70 psi at a maximum capacity of 6 gpm. The pump’s durable exterior, coupled with its excellent shock absorption capabilities, supports the operation of machinery in harsh environments, while its IPX6 rated water protection certification is well-suited for efficient installation in tough surroundings.
According to Baeg, customers have also cited the reliability of the VersiJet Series as a deciding factor when selecting pumps, due to the consistent level of quality assurance offered by the global pump brand. “This will make it even easier for our customers to find the right pump for the job, every time,” he says.
