Vaughan Company, Inc., the world's leading chopper pump manufacturer for over 50 years have released a new heavy-duty, diesel portable engine driven, vacuum primed chopper pump for mobile solids handling applications. The unit is an adaption of the popular Vaughan model HE6W horizontal end suction chopper pump, designed for handling high concentrations of difficult suspended solids without clogging. With the aid of a robust venturi vacuum prime system, the unit...

Vaughan Co., the world's leading manufacturer of chopper pumps for over 50 years is also the producer of the world's largest chopper pump - the Vaughan model 12W. The 12W, with its 18" suction and 12" discharge is capable of flow rates up to around 2200 m3/hr (611 L/s). This large pump is commonly used in municipal pump station applications and also for the mixing of high-volume anaerobic digesters and...

Historically this has been accomplished through the use of the "non-clog" pump, where a recessed or open impeller, passes large solids through the pump. However, experience has proven that the name "non-clog" does not mean the pump won't clog. In many cases,...
