1100 Series Vertical Turbine Pumps

Establishing industry leadership, mechanically powered turbine pumps were first developed and manufactured in 1904 by the Layne & Bowler Pump Company.  From its inception, the vertical turbine pump has been specified for difficult or unusual applications, such as limited floor space, reduced operating noise levels, high efficiency, high discharge pressures, and unusual suction conditions as required for low NPSH.

All vertical turbines look quite similar - in fact, most manufacturers have designed their pumps, when practical, to allow installation within a range of standard well casing pipe sizes.  Beyond external appearances, the pumps reflect a more unique character when considering applications.  Some are designed only for wells, some for short settings, others for low pressure, some for high pressure, etc.  The vertical turbine is one of three basic pump designs, which also includes mixed flow and propeller types. 

Standard Francis Vane impeller-type turbine pumps produce low to medium volumes of water at high pressure.  Layne/Verti-Line vertical turbine pumps are designed primarily for heavy duty, continuous operation, in municipal and industrial applications.  As a result, our vertical turbine pumps are unique when compared to the rest of the pump industry for normal, less demanding applications.  The average installation can expect extra-long trouble-free pump life.
