DURAFLO™ 18 GPM PUMPING STATIONS

Introduction
Belanger® has developed the DuraFlo™ Pumping Station product line. It is ideal for medium and high-pressure
applications. The DuraFlo™ product line provides an assortment of pumping platforms that can be used in multiple
applications. The DuraFlo™ product line is available in an 18 GPM pumping platform with either a 10 hp or 15 hp
motor, or a 36 GPM pumping platform with either a 15 hp or 25 hp motor. These pumping station options allow the
flexibility to supply a medium-volume water application that can deliver 600 to 1100 psi.
Built for longevity, the DuraFlo™ pumping platforms are assembled with high-quality components. All frames are
powder-coated for corrosion protection. The powertrain system connecting the motor and pump is a pulley system
comprised of cast sheaves and cogged V-style belts. Compared to standard V-belts, cogged belts run cooler, last
longer, and operate with a higher efficiency. Each pulley is locked to its respective shaft with a taper-lock bushing and
torqued according to the proper specification. The powertrain is also protected with a front and back plastic guard
which provides a safe operating environment during operation. Industrial duty motors are used on all four platforms.
The construction of these motors offers superior durability. Another benefit of the industrial duty motors is the pre-
lubricated, double-shielded oversized bearings to accommodate varying belt loads and tensions. The industrial duty
motor also provides a high-efficiency energy design. This design uses class “F” copper windings that allow the motor
to operate at higher temperatures than normal and still maintain durability. The DuraFlo™ product line has the
trademark “Green and Yellow” Dura product color combination (green frame/yellow tank), which allows customers to
easily associate these pumping stations with the durability known with Belanger® Dura components.
The 18 GPM pumping platforms include a Wanner™ H-25 Hydra-Cell diaphragm pump that is capable of operating
fresh water or reclaim water. The main water inlet is sized no less than 1-inch ID pipe or hose. The main water feed
connects directly to a float valve assembly, which is easily adjusted, to maintain the proper water level in the holding
tank. The float valve used on this pumping platform has a 3/4” inlet. The pump is fed with a 2-inch suction hose from
the holding tank. A low-level mechanical switch assembled inside the tank also comes standard to prevent the pump
from running without water. A pressure relief (unloader) valve is attached to the pump by a 1/2-inch hydraulic hose
assembly, and also uses a 1/2-inch hydraulic hose assembly to unload water back into the holding tank. When the
nozzle is set to the proper pressure, the valve will unload approximately 2 GPM. The distribution manifold, located
near the pump, supports a 1-inch MJIC fitting and connects to a single feed spray application.
