Today’s Patterson vertical turbine technology is the product of more than 50 years of vertical pump experience. This refined design concept produces exceptional hydraulic performance, with low vibration and noise levels. Pumping sections can be staged as necessary to meet desired pressure requirements. Vertical turbine units require only minimal floor space, and the pumps operate in low NPSHA applications. The above-grade discharge, motor and controller allow easy, safe maintenance.

Patterson MPVT® pumps are widely used in municipal/ industrial solids handling, water treatment, flood control and water supply applications. The MPVT is specifically designed to handle stringy solids.

MPVT pumps have bowl sizes ranging from 12 in. to 40 in. Capacities range from 1,500 to 20,000 gpm and above. Standard units have cast iron discharge heads, fabricated steel column, stainless steel head and bowl shafts, alloy steel line shaft and cast iron bronze fitted bowls. Open line shaft construction is standard.

The standard line shaft is Type 416 SS and is enclosed in a Sch. 80 enclosing tube with bronze bearings. The generous pump column diameter exhibits favorable natural frequencies, reduced vibration and greater durability. The discharge head is designed for high efficiency with a continuous-radius, miterless elbow and an integral splitter vane. The single-piece, non-clog, 3-vane cast pump bowl diffuser is designed for high efficiency and superior vibration characteristics. Bowl bearings are encased in an easily removable cartridge assembly. Pump disassembly is not required to replace the bearing cartridge. Special construction requiring stainless steel or aluminum bronze is available, and fabricated steel heads in lieu of cast iron are available in both above and below grade discharge configurations. Impeller and bowl wear rings are available options.
