The double volute design incorporates two cutwaters located at 180, which divide the flow into
two geometerically similar regions of the volute.
The resultant hydraulic forces within the pumps
are equal and opposed. As a result, the net radial
force is maintained at a very low level throughout
the operating range of the pump, and shaft deflection is kept to a minimum.

Close Coupled
BRACKET AND SEAL HOUSING
> One piece
> Registered fit
> Eliminates machining tolerance stacking
> Provides positive placement
> Prolongs mechanical seal and bearing life
SHAFT SLEEVE
> Standard feature
> Isolates shaft from medium
> Protects shaft from corrosion
MOTOR
> Industry-standard JM frame motor
TYPE VSMS
Split Coupled
AXIALLY SPLIT COUPLING
> Rigid spacer type coupling design allows easy
disassembling and replacement of mechanical
seal without removing motor
STAINLESS STEEL SHAFT
> Eliminates possibility of oxidation
BRACKET
> Registered fit
MOTOR
> Industry-standard P Base motor

PACO VSM/VSMS
IMPELLER
> Single suction cast bronze with Francis vanes
> Trimmed to exact customer conditions
> Static and dynamically balanced to ISO 1940-G3
> Hydraulically balanced to reduce thrust loads
MECHANICAL SEALS
> Match construction with site requirements
> Internal seals are available in various configurations and materials to meet the needs of
the application
VOLUTES
> Made of ductile iron
> Flanges positioned to allow vertical piping
> Double volute design reduces radial loads, internal recirculation, and turbulence
> No need for horizontal suction pipe runs, elbows,
suction guides, or discharge elbows
NAMEPLATE
> Non-corrosive and located away from insulated
areas; contains all data necessary for ordering
spare and replacement parts
BRONZE CASE WEAR RINGS
> Included as Standard
> Allows for simple and inexpensive renewal of
like new operating tolerances, even after
years of operation
DESIGN ADVANTAGES
> Integrally cast diffuser vane reduces pre-rotation and provides laminar flow into oversized
impeller eye
> No need for external flow straighteners
PUMP STAND
> Made of ductile iron
> Designed with smallest possible footprint to
support entire pump and motor
> No grouting requirements
