Layne - Vertical Turbine Pump
Vertical Turbine Pumps are firstly invented by Mr. M. Layne and adapted for use in cased wells or where the water surface is below the practical limits, where other pumps can not do the same job. Vertical Turbine pump efficiencies are comparable to or greater than most centrifugal pumps.
Vertical Turbine Pumps have three main parts; discharge head assembly, column assembly and pump/bowl assembly. Column assembly provides a connection between discharge head and pump bowls. Line shaft transfers power from motor to the impellers and column carries water to the surface. Line shafts on a vertical turbine pump may be either water lubricated or oil lubricated.
The oil-lubricated pump has an enclosed tube in which oil is lubricating the bearings. The water-lubricated pump has an open shaft. The bearings are lubricated by the pumped water. If there is a possibility of fine sand being pumped, select the oil lubricated pump because it will keep the sand out of the bearings. If the water is for domestic or livestock use, it must be free of oil and a water-lubricated pump must be used.
