EVOLUTION OF THE

VERTICAL SCREW PUMP

Once early man stood upright, his descendants were destined to master the planet. Now, in our own time, we are privileged to witness the evolution of the vertical rotary screw pump from Leistritz.

No, it doesn't talk or walk. But it is uniquely gifted with wonderful new capabilities that are denied to its horizontal relatives.

First, the vertical configuration incorporates pump and motor into a single unit. This is a true vertical pump with the motor supported in the embrace of the pump body.

Permanent alignment is inherent in the design, eliminating a major source of vibration and coupling wear.

Second, the space savings are obvious. The vertical screw pump from Leistritz makes its home on a single, small footprint.

Input and discharge piping are in line, not offset... simplifying installation. Easy seal maintenance through spacer coupling is available. The pump can also be provided with seal-less magnetic drive.

Some might expect such a marvel to originate from a "higher source". However, for more information you would contact:
