AMT Pump 2853-95 Self-Priming Centrifugal Pump, Cast Iron, 3/4 HP, 115/230 V, 1-1/4′ Ports

Introducing the AMT Pump 2853-95, a top-of-the-line self-priming centrifugal pump designed for efficiency and durability. This pump features a robust cast iron housing that ensures long-lasting performance in demanding environments. With its 3/4 HP motor, it operates on 115/230 V power, making it versatile for various electrical setups.

One of the standout features of the AMT Pump 2853-95 is its self-priming capability, allowing it to lift water up to 20 vertical feet thanks to the built-in flapper/check valve. This mechanism ensures that the pump can start efficiently without the need for manual priming after the initial fill. The pump is equipped with 1′ and 1-1/4′ female NPT suction and discharge ports, providing flexibility for different piping configurations.

Designed for multiple applications, the AMT Pump 2853-95 excels in circulating, boosting, wash down, liquid transfer, and dewatering tasks. Its clog-resistant semi-open impeller can handle semi-solids up to 3/8′ in diameter, making it an excellent choice for various industrial and commercial needs. Additionally, the pump’s buna-n mechanical seal and O-ring enhance its reliability and performance, ensuring a tight seal and reducing the risk of leaks.

To facilitate easy maintenance, the pump includes a fill and drain plug that allows for straightforward servicing. The double volute chamber design minimizes radial load on the impeller, promoting smoother operation and extending the life of the pump. Depending on the model, the motor enclosure is available in either TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled) for protection against dust and indirect water spray or ODP (Open Drip Proof) for safeguarding against dripping water. This versatility meets the National Electrical Manufacturers Association (NEMA) 56J standard for mounting dimensions, ensuring compatibility with various installations.

Understanding the mechanics of pumps is essential for selecting the right model for your needs. Pumps generally utilize mechanical action to move liquids, gases, or slurries. The two main categories of pumps are positive displacement (PD) and kinetic pumps. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of fluid, forcing it through a chamber. Common examples include fuel pumps in vehicles and hydraulic system pumps.

Kinetic pumps, on the other hand, work by transferring energy from the pump’s movement to the flow of the liquid. They typically use an impeller to draw in the flow, add energy, and then direct it through a volute and into the desired system. Centrifugal pumps, such as the AMT Pump 2853-95, are among the most common types used in industrial applications.

Energy sources for pumps vary widely and include wind power, manual operation, electricity, as well as gasoline and diesel fuel. American Machine and Tool (AMT) is a leading manufacturer of both centrifugal and diaphragm pumps, recognized for their high-quality products that meet diverse operational needs. The company is based in Royersford, PA, and continues to innovate in the pump manufacturing sector.

In summary, the AMT Pump 2853-95 is a reliable, efficient, and versatile choice for anyone in need of a high-performing self-priming centrifugal pump. Whether you are involved in industrial applications or need a robust solution for liquid transfer and dewatering, this pump is designed to meet your expectations and provide long-term service.
