|---|---|
| Description: |
The MVX Solids Handling Pump is a wet pit vertical pump engineered for the reliable transfer of solids-laden fluids, industrial slurries, and municipal wastewater. Designed for installation in open sumps or wet wells, the MVX offers robust hydraulic performance, superior solids passage, and long service life in tough operating environments. With a fully recessed impeller and wide passages, the MVX minimizes clogging and abrasion, making it ideal for handling fibrous materials, grit, and debris found in sewage, stormwater, or industrial process waste. The vertical configuration allows for deep sump installation, while eliminating the need for priming or submersible components. Built with abrasion- and corrosion-resistant materials, and available with optional column bearings, wear rings, and flush systems, the MVX pump is a durable and efficient solution for high-solids wet pit applications in power, pulp & paper, chemical, food processing, and municipal treatment plants. |
The Flowserve MVX is a rugged wet pit pump designed for use in solids handling applications and other wet pit services. Built and tested in accordance with Hydraulic Institute standards, the MVX non-clog pump boasts numerous reliability- and performance-enhancing benefits.

- Industries:
General Industries, Mining, Power Generation, Pulp and Paper, Water Resources, Chemical Processing
Multi-volute Design provides perfect balance of radial reactive forces for smooth performance.
Enclosed, Mixed Flow Impeller is designed with a minimum number of vanes and wide passageways to minimize clogging. Vane tips are rounded to prevent the accumulation of stringy materials at the impeller eye.
Smallest model passes spherical solids up to 76 mm (3 in) diameter; larger models pass spherical solids up to 152 mm (6 in) diameter.
Splitter Vanes guide solids and stringy materials around the pump’s enclosing tube and into the discharge without clogging.
Enclosed Lineshaft protects bearing surfaces from abrasives.
Available Vortex Suppressor ensures maximum hydraulic efficiency.
