Gusher 7550 Pumps Provide Drop-In Replacement of Underperforming Pumps

By . Posted on in Engineering Stories

When it comes to pump durability and reliability, it’s what’s inside that counts

Demanding processes like vertical sump applications require pumps that are built to last. When it comes to durability and reliability, not all pumps are created equal. Gusher Pumps’ 7550 Series pumps have established a proven track record as dependable workhorses that can eliminate the headache of continually failing pumps.

With custom engineering, these vertical end suction, sealless pumps offer true drop-in replacement of underperforming competitor brands. Careful engineering and robust construction ensure long service life.

These are the design elements that set these pumps apart:

Robust Shaft

  • Shaft diameters of up to 2.5 times that of many of competitive pumps
  • Ensures good alignment; reduces vibration, fatigue and wear
  • Eliminates the need for intermediate bushings on all but extra-long pump configurations

Heavy-Duty Power Frame

  • Oversized double row thrust bearing and a radial bearing installed above the mounting plate
  • Open space above the mounting plate protects bearings from process liquids, preventing corrosion and residue
  • Greased for life bearings available as an option for reduced maintenance
Gusher 7550 Series Pumps

Open Impeller

  • ANSI B73.1 wet end with dynamically and hydraulically balanced tapered impellers with pump-out vanes on the back side
  • Construction reduces both radial load and thrust loads, and associated wobble and vibration
  • Handles solids, corrosives, and stringy or other hard to move fluids without clogging

Virtually Limitless Customization

  • In-house engineering expertise to configure pump to fit existing footprint and applications needs
  • Mounting plate shape, size, pipe diameter and placement can all be tailored to your facility
  • Optional Vortex wet end for serious solids and air handling
  • Full cantilever-dry run capability for applications that experience frequent loss of prime
  • Design solutions tailored to your unique application needs–bring Gusher your pump problems, and we’ll solve them!

Often facilities live with frequently failing pumps because of the cost and time involved in changing piping and support structures to accommodate a new pump brand. Gusher’s design flexibility eliminates the trade-off between ongoing maintenance headaches and potential construction headaches. A drop-in 7550 Series vertical pump replacement provides long, reliable service life, without retrofit construction concerns.
