Vulcan Pumps are built for the most challenging dewatering applications. Constructed from highly abrasion resistant materials including High-Chrome Cast Iron, and Duplex Stainless Steel, these pumps go into services that simply destroy most types of pumps. Vulcan Pumps are entirely a Made-In-The USA product.

Vulcan Pumps are used for applications such as:

Kaolin Clay
Coal Tunnel Sumps
Sand and Gravel Weir Overflow

Coal Pile Runoff
FGD Blowdown Sumps
Dredging

Slag Pits
Tar Sands
Drilling Mud Reclamation

With all of their experience in these applications, Vulcan can also design and build a complete floating barge for your submersible pump or vertical turbine application, including for other pump brands.
