Ameriflo FM Pump Approvals
Ameriflo FM Pump Approvals
After months of intensive product development and an extremely stringent testing schedule, Ameriflo is proud to announce it’s Factory Mutual (FM) Approval of the 5010 ES End Suction, 5030 SC Split Case and 5040 VT Vertical Turbine product lines. This Factory Mutual approval covers the largest North American fire protection hydraulic offering currently available in the market today.
This newest FM Approval couples with the current UL Listings that are already in place for the product line. These two certifications give Ameriflo a complete third party certified program legitimizing the entire fire protection product line. As the majority of the product development has been completed, future engineering effort will be spent tweaking speeds and/or minor gaps that may come up on certain applications. This current hydraulic offering will be a huge market disruption as the coverage also includes the lowest documented horsepowers present in this very competitive, fire protection industry.
The SC product line was designed with minimum horsepower as the primary focus and as such, the Ameriflo SC product line has the lowest documented horsepowers available in the fire protection market today!! Ductile iron casings with investment cast 304 stainless steel impellers are also standard construction which is a significant upgrade over nearly every other current manufacturer who uses class 30 cast iron with bronze impellers.
To aid in the alignment of the pump assembly alignment jackscrews are provided on the driver (when driven by an electric motor) or under the pump (when driven by a Diesel engine). This very simple addition to the base makes field alignment very easy & straightforward and allows for fine tuning of the alignment process that is very useful when performing very precise alignments especially when using laser alignment products.
Ameriflo Diesel engines have features that the other Diesel engine manufactures simply do not have. The Diesel engine cradle is a unique and specifiable feature that virtually eliminates all Diesel engine vibration that was historically transferred to the pump and system piping. The Ameriflo Vibration Isolation Cradle (VIC) has integral engine mounts that completely isolate the Diesel engine vibration from being transferred to the pump base assembly. This is a unique and specifiable feature that no other Diesel engine manufacturer has. This VIC greatly reduces oscillations found from other Diesel engine manufacturers and allows all Ameriflo pump assemblies to operate with minimal vibration. The VIC also houses the emergency contactors, the complete cooling loop package, the heat exchanger assembly and the pre-heater equipment.
As Ameriflo continues to grow, more and more split case pumps make their way through assembly and onto shipping. The 5030 SC pumps shown here also were taken from the Ameriflo Express inventory program allowing for very short lead-times when needed. There are a variety of sizes shown here shipping to customers in several different states.

The 3D models that Ameriflo uses in engineering, during training events or at trade shows allows for an incredibly easy and lightweight manner to show off the state-of-the-art products currently offered by Ameriflo. These pumps are printed to scale (1:4) and allow for a very easy way to show off all of the standard feature and benefits that Ameriflo has worked so hard to create. As an example, these highly detailed samples show all of the acorn nuts, jackscrew and alignment pins as well as the complete flush plan system. Very clean and super cool……..
