Power Team engineers equipped the two-speed Vanguard 30 pump with a true unloading valve to achieve high pump efficiency. The pump relies on a 1-horsepower motor that has a completely enclosed permanent magnet design. The motor can start and run when voltage is reduced down to 50 percent of nominal rating. The Vanguard 30 is adapted to suit a wide variety of heavy-lifting applications by means of optional valves. Steel mills use the Vanguard 30 pumps in the maintenance of continuous casting of steel bar.
Utilities employ the pump to lift turbines for maintenance.
Pulp and paper mills, refineries, and construction companies also use the pumps to lift their heavy machinery during installation, replacement, or maintenance.
