PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Goulds Model 5500 Severe Duty Slurry Pump is the result of many years of experience designing and building pumps for the most demanding slurry applications. This pump is not only built to withstand the toughest abrasive slurry services but also designed for extreme ease of maintenance and safety. The 5500 features a heavy-duty bearing frame and shaft, extra-thick wall sections, and easily replaceable wear parts, ensuring many years of reliable service even under the harshest operating conditions.

With its robust construction and innovative design features, the Goulds 5500 Severe Duty Slurry Pump is the ideal choice for industries such as primary metals, coal preparation, non-metallic mining, sand and gravel, power utility, wet process cement, and pulp and paper. Its ability to handle high-density slurries, large solids, and abrasive particles makes it a versatile and dependable solution for a wide range of applications.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

• Large-diameter impeller develops higher heads at lower operating speeds
• Extra heavy-duty shaft minimizes deflection while handling pulsating loads associated with high specific gravity slurries
• Simplified mechanical design for ease of installation and maintenance
• Extra-thick wet end components for extended wear life
• Sealing flexibility with a choice of packing, mechanical seal, or dynamic seal
• T-slot bearing allows for easy disassembly and reassembly, reducing downtime and maintenance costs
• Cast-in lifting lugs on all major wet-end components facilitate handling for increased safety and lower maintenance costs
• Knock-off deflector protects bearings and facilitates threaded impeller removal, reducing maintenance time and costs
• The flat bottom bearing housing ensures positive alignment and perfect fit without shimming, minimizing maintenance and downtime
• Bearing housing hold-down bolts, accessible from the top, simplifies impeller end clearance adjustment and power end removal, reducing downtime and maintenance costs
• Dynamic seal expeller option for absolute dry box sealing, saving water, and piping costs, and eliminating product loss
