Overview
The MP Pumps 2CT‑3 is engineered for demanding environments where reliability and ease of maintenance are critical. Its self‑priming capability allows the pump to evacuate air from the suction line after initial priming, eliminating the need for external priming systems and reducing start‑up complexity. This makes it ideal for applications with fluctuating liquid levels or intermittent operation.
The pump’s cast‑iron casing provides exceptional durability against abrasion and corrosion in general industrial service, while the ductile‑iron impeller ensures strength and impact resistance when handling solids. The impeller design is optimized for high efficiency and solids passage, allowing debris up to 1.5" (38.1 mm) to pass without clogging—perfect for wastewater, slurry, and trash‑laden fluids.
Maintenance is simplified through a back pull‑out design, enabling removal of the rotating assembly without disturbing the piping or motor alignment. Additionally, the front cleanout port offers direct access to the volute for quick removal of accumulated solids, minimizing downtime and labor costs.
The pump accommodates multiple drive configurations, including close‑coupled arrangements for NEMA motor frames (145TC, 184TC, and 215TC for Hy‑Speed), pedestal mounting for flexible installations, and the PumPAK® option for custom motor pairing. With a power range up to 10 HP (7.35 kW), the 2CT‑3 delivers flows up to 400 GPM (90.8 m³/h) and heads up to 125 ft (38 m), making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and OEM applications.
Critical components such as the 304 stainless‑steel drive sleeve protect the shaft from wear, while the mechanical seal—featuring carbon, ceramic, and Viton materials—provides robust sealing performance under varying temperature and chemical conditions. These design choices ensure long service life and reduced maintenance costs, even in harsh operating environments.
