S-8 Pump Summary
The S-8 uses a two-vane, semi-open impeller designed for solids-laden liquids and slurries.
Its 8-inch design is intended to pass spherical solids up to 3 inches in diameter through critical areas, including the circulation port.
Pump-out vanes on the impeller shroud help reduce foreign-material buildup behind the impeller and reduce pressure on the seal and bearings, supporting reliable operation and easier maintenance.
