Description

The Fairbanks Nijhuis vertical turbine pump is engineered for extreme durability and broad operating versatility. Whether drawing from wells, rivers, lakes, or seawater, this pump delivers dependable performance across flows from 40 to 50,000 GPM and heads up to 2,000 feet. Its wide material options—cast iron, bronze, stainless steel, and other machinable alloys—allow it to be tailored for raw-water intake, volatile fluids, cooling-water circulation, flood control, marine service, and demanding industrial processes.

With bowl diameters ranging from 4″ to 57″ and the ability to stage multiple bowls in series, the pump can be configured to meet almost any hydraulic requirement. Replaceable wear rings provide a renewable sealing surface, and open line-shaft designs allow continuous bearing lubrication for long-term, reliable operation in harsh environments.
