This unique system not only reduces environmental concerns on sewage bypass operations and other environmentally hazardous liquids, but it also enables the pumps to operate under flooded suction conditions without leaking. The positive priming of the Prime Aire® is well suited for applications involving long suction lines, intermittent flows or large volumes of air in the liquid being pumped.P R I M I N G - A S S I S T E D P U M P SDRY RUN CAPAbIlITY is designed into the Prime Aire® system. An oversized, oil-lubricated mechanical seal allows the pump to run dry continuously without damage. For positive, reliable priming time after time, Gorman-Rupp Prime Aire® pumps are the ones you can count on.DUAl-SUCTION SIDECAPAbIlITY, on model PA6C, features a removable coverplate and adjustable/ replaceable wearplate.COMPRESSOR OVER PUMPSeveral popular models are available in a “Compressor-Over-Pump” arrangement. This innovative configuration option offers a self-contained, compact, flexible design while allowing ease of operation and servicing when needed.SOlIDS-HANDlING IMPEllERMany Prime Aire® pumps feature rugged open-type, two-vane ductile iron impellers that are specifically designed to handle solids and debris up to 4" (102 mm) in diameter. This means fewer clogs and more productivity on tough jobs.AbRASIVE-HANDlING SEAlPrime Aire® pumps are equipped with oversized, mechanical, oil-lubricated, seals that are designed to take the wear and tear of pumping solids, slurries and other abrasives.STANDARD AUTO-START CONTROlS start and stop the pump in response to a liquid level. The pump starts only when there is water to pump and turns itself off when the water reaches the desired level. There is never any need to waste fuel and add to costly engine overhauls.P R I M E A I R E ®HIGH-HEAD PUMP PERFORMANCE HIGH-HEAD PUMP PERFORMANCESOLIDS-HANDLING PUMP PERFORMANCE SOLIDS-HANDLING PUMP PERFORMANCER E D I - P R I M E ®THIS PRIMING SYSTEM is specifically designed with the environment in mind. By incorporating a positive sealing float box and an integrally mounted diaphragm pump into the priming assembly, environmental contamination associated with the priming system is virtually eliminated.Models are engineered with highly efficient, enclosed impellers, with some models using double volutes increasing the performance far beyond many competitors’ pumps. The Cycloseal® design, with its impeller backvanes and unique deflector vanes, assists in removing solids and abrasive materials from the seal area – in some cases more than tripling the normally expected mechanical seal life.TOTAL HEADM PSI FTU.S.GALLONSPER MINUTELITERSPER SECONDCurves are based on a specific gravity of 1.0025050075010001750200022502750325035003750425020406080100012014016018022050100150300400450806020208040100100 140160140 200125015002500300040002602002503501801204012060240200RP3CRP2½BRP4JRP6DC-11-09DRY RUN CAPAbIlITY Lubricant prevents dry running of the seal faces while priming, repriming, and standby.

This unique system not only reduces environmental concerns on sewage bypass operations and other environmentally hazardous liquids, but it also enables the pumps to operate under flooded suction conditions without leaking. The positive priming of the Prime Aire® is well suited for applications involving long suction lines, intermittent flows or large volumes of air in the liquid being pumped.P R I M I N G - A S S I S T E D P U M P SDRY RUN CAPAbIlITY is designed into the Prime Aire® system. An oversized, oil-lubricated mechanical seal allows the pump to run dry continuously without damage. For positive, reliable priming time after time, Gorman-Rupp Prime Aire® pumps are the ones you can count on.DUAl-SUCTION SIDECAPAbIlITY, on model PA6C, features a removable coverplate and adjustable/ replaceable wearplate.COMPRESSOR OVER PUMPSeveral popular models are available in a “Compressor-Over-Pump” arrangement. This innovative configuration option offers a self-contained, compact, flexible design while allowing ease of operation and servicing when needed.SOlIDS-HANDlING IMPEllERMany Prime Aire® pumps feature rugged open-type, two-vane ductile iron impellers that are specifically designed to handle solids and debris up to 4" (102 mm) in diameter. This means fewer clogs and more productivity on tough jobs.AbRASIVE-HANDlING SEAlPrime Aire® pumps are equipped with oversized, mechanical, oil-lubricated, seals that are designed to take the wear and tear of pumping solids, slurries and other abrasives.STANDARD AUTO-START CONTROlS start and stop the pump in response to a liquid level. The pump starts only when there is water to pump and turns itself off when the water reaches the desired level.
