Vooner FloGard® Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps
"Protecting Vacuum When Production CountsTM"

In order to stay competitive in today's world, it is essential for industries to increase production while reducing production related costs. The Vooner® FloGard® liquid ring vacuum pump, with its pioneer design, accomplishes just this. FloGard design features give you vacuum pumps engineered for maximum value, consistent performance and added pump life. The patented self-aligning, removable bearing carrier speeds maintenance and reduces downtime. At the same time, stainless steel components extend the pump's overall useful life, thus reducing full life cycle cost.

Design Features

Cast Stainless Steel Rotor: The C-Model Vooner FloGard pumps come equipped with solid cast 304 stainless steel (CF-8) Rotors as standard construction. Stainless steel cones are a popular option. The 304 stainless steel prevents erosive and corrosive wear at the critical seal area. This maintains the original close tolerance between the Rotor and Cones much longer than cast iron parts can.

Self-Aligning Removable Bearing Carrier: The unique self-aligning Bearing Carrier featured in the FloGard allows bearing replacement without removing the pump from the process piping and the Heads from the pump housing. By simply turning the Carrier jackbolts against the head, the Bearing Carrier (with the bearing) slides off the shaft.

Stainless Steel Shaft: All Vooner FloGard pumps except for the "A" model come with stainless steel shafts that are more corrosion- and abrasion-resistant than common carbon steel shafts.
