Goulds Pumps, one of the fluid brands of ITT Corporation, offers a complete line of elastomer lined slurry pumps for the most severe, abrasive services in the mining/mineral processing, power, chemical, and paper industries. The Model SRL is based on the original lined slurry design introduced by ITT A-C Pump nearly a century ago. Offered with a wide variety of extra thick natural and synthetic elastomer liners, the SRL will hold up to the toughest applications.
The SRL is designed for long service life with features such as large diameter shafts for lower deflection, extending MTBF. Hard Ni-Cr coated XH-800 alloy sleeves protect the shaft. Severe duty, oil lubricated bearings and housings are designed to dissipate and lower bearing temperatures for maximum wear. Suction wear plates protect the casing wear areas.

Municipal wastewater represents the largest application in China and in the world. The migration of one billion people in Asia from the countryside to cities is creating huge needs for municipal wastewater treatment plants.
The chemical industry is the second largest application in China and in the world. China is rapidly building its chemical industry.
Power is the third largest application. In 2007 China has become the leading operator of coal-fired power plants in the world. By 2011 it is projected that China will be operating twice the coal-fired capacity of the U.S. and more than all of Europe combined.
China is developing the manufacturing capability to move beyond the standard water pumps to offer pumps for critical applications.
The U.S. will remain the second largest purchaser of pumps even though there will be a slowdown in refining and oil and gas production. Coal-fired power, ethanol and other growth areas will compensate for the segments which are not growing.
