VL/VLK vertical pump for deep tanks and sumps
The VL/VLK is the vertical pump designed for longer immersion lengths, with the series reaching 2500 mm. Mechanical support comes from an aluminium lantern with bearing, the motor drives the pump through an elastic coupling, and the shaft end runs in a ceramic guide bushing; above 2000 mm the ceramic guide is doubled. It is made of polypropylene (PP) or PVC and no metal part comes into contact with the pumped liquid.
Compared with the cantilevered VSK and the VGA, the VL takes shaft loads off the motor: the bearing in the lantern carries the rotating assembly and the elastic coupling absorbs small misalignments. A vapour seal protects the support area from fumes rising out of the tank. It is the option to consider when an acid pump has to work in tall or below-ground tanks.
- Below-ground tanks and tall vessels
- Collection sumps in chemical plants
- Recirculating deep process baths
- Drawing from storage tanks accessible only from the top
- Wastewater and water treatment plants
Frequently asked questions
How deep can the VL be installed?
The VL/VLK series reaches 2500 mm in length. Above 2000 mm the shaft is supported by a double ceramic guide to limit deflection.
Why an elastic coupling between motor and pump?
The coupling transmits torque and absorbs small misalignments, so the motor does not load the pump shaft. It also makes it easy to separate motor and pump during maintenance.
VL or VGA: how do I choose?
Mainly by immersion length and fluid. For tanks of moderate depth the VGA is more compact; for deep tanks the bearing support and double guide of the VL give greater stability.
