WSP™ Chop-Flow™ Pump

WSP™ Chop-Flow™ Pump
The WSP™ Chop-Flow™ Pump is a powerful, cost-efficient way to chop and pump at the same time. Solids, fibers, and other hard to
pump materials are pulled into the pump suction. Before these materials enter the pump impeller vanes, they are cut by the action of
the rotating impeller against the stationary cutter plate, so they easily pass through the pump after being chopped several hundred
times per minute.

The WSP™ Chop-Flow™ pump exhibits the same quality you’ve come to expect from Weir for over 100 years. Rugged, reliable,
dependable, and maintenance-free.

• Wrap around nose vanes ensure effective chopping at the • All clearances are easily and externally adjustable, by one

• The wearing parts -cutting bar, impeller and rear cutting teeth
are easily and inexpensively replaceable.

WSP™ Chop-Flow™ Impeller

• Chops stringy and solid materials, and moves it through the pump casing as the impeller runs against
the stationary cutter plate
• Has nose vanes that completely wrap around the center of rotation, pulling material into the cutting
area and assuring positive and complete chopping action
• Has ultra sharp blade face that maintains a cutting edge as it wears, coupled with a generous and
easily adjustable wear allowance to maintain optimum chopping over the life of the impeller
• Made of tough and hard ASTM A148 steel, hardened to RC60
Stationary Cutter Bar

• Single piece – easily removable, replaceable, and economical Nose Vanes Cutter Bar
• Made of AISI T1 Tool Steel, hardened to RC60

Sharp Impeller Blades

Impeller Reverse Side and Back Plate

• The back side of the impeller is equipped with machined cutting teeth on the pump-out vanes and
a labyrinth to protect and prevent any material from reaching the seal area, whether the pump is
running or not.
• When running, the back pump-out vanes on the rear shroud of the impeller pump out any material
which enters the area between the rear of the impeller and the backplate. These back vanes also
incorporate two cutting slots which mesh with replaceable cutting teeth on the backplate to chop
stringy materials as they are removed.
• The pumping action/agitation of the vanes in combination with the chopping actions of the cutting
slots ensure that any material in this area will be positively ejected and won’t reach the seal area.
• The exclusive cutting teeth on the back plate are easily and inexpensively replaced when
necessary, eliminating the need to buy the more expensive complete backplate assembly.

WARMAN® Screw Flow

Pump

WSF® Pump
Weir Minerals are specialists in delivering and supporting sludge and slurry
equipment solutions including pumps, hydrocyclones, valves and wear
resistant linings for the global power, mining, petrochemical and general
industrial markets, including pharmaceuticals & food processing.

The Warman® screw flow pump is equipped with a classic single vane screw
centrifugal impeller. The long-established screw centrifugal design provides
clog-resistant pumping for trouble free movement of solids, and fibrous and stringy
materials. The steep head-capacity curve produced by the impeller provides additional
head to help push through any partial blockages.

Up-front project design solutions
As a service to our customers, Weir Minerals Floway Pumps
provides two specification assistance programs to help
customers accurately specify the vertical turbine product.
SCORE Selector Program
SCORE is a web based program which allows
customers to search pump selection by flow and
head specifics. Scan the QR code to the right and
create an account if you already do not have one.

Build-A-Spec™
Build-A-Spec™ is a specification writing program
that provides a detailed specification in MS Word
format based on a series of inputs by the user. Detailed
specifications are available for sump, barrel, and well
pump services.
Interested in building a specification for a Floway®
pump? Build-A-Spec™ is the tool that will help you

 Weir Minerals Floway Pumps takes pride
in the fact that all of our products are
manufactured in-house, giving total
control and maximum capabilities.

Unlike some competitors, Floway® pumps are

manufactured all under one roof. That means that
every step from designing to fabrication to assembly
and the finished product is controlled in our state-of-
the-art facility in Fresno, California, USA.
