A rugged line
of centrifugal pumps
The series EF vertical and series HF
pumps deliver twice the potential
flowrate of the manufacturer’s previ-
ous EH and HA models. Relative to
their size, the EF and HF offer high
flow and total dynamic head (TDH):
flows up to 400 g/min in horizontal
configuration with 170 ft of TDH. The
pumps are molded from either high-
temperature polypropylene or corro-
sion-resistant CPVC and sleeved
stainless steel shafts for non-metallic
solution contact. They are meant to
pair with the firm’s exclusive “Duty”
motors, which offer up to 30 h.p. and
low maintenance. — Serfilco, Ltd.,
