3×5-10 SC Split Case Pumps
5030 Series 3×5-10 SC Pumps
The last several months have been very busy here at Ameriflo and the order backlog continues to grow!! We would like to thank all of those who joined Ameriflo on this journey!!
The current amount of activity in the fire pump market today is truly staggering and Ameriflo has been very fortunate to launch a Tier 1 product line at a time when the need could not be more important. Ameriflo manufacturers the highest quality fire protection product line backed by one of the most experienced technical and customer service orientated teams the fire protection industry has ever seen.
This short blog focuses on several orders in final assembly for different customers taking advantage of the 5030 SC Split Case product line, the most popular Ameriflo product line. The 5030 SC Split Case product line is the most hydraulically complete, third party certified product line available in the fire protection market today and has the following features:
- Investment cast, 304 stainless steel impellers
- Ductile iron, double volute casings
- Casing jackscrew and prybar locations at each casing quadrant
- Fully studded casing construction with 304 stainless steel acorn nuts
- Fully integrated coupling guards at each stuffing box
- Single point drain system with one location to collect all pump leakage
- 304 stainless steel flush plans
- 304 stainless steel suction & discharge buffer tubing packages
- Bolt on removable & replaceable bearing housings

Ameriflo uses very complex Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software to engineer the maximum efficiency and hydraulic performance from every impeller that they manufacture. Solid Works software allows for the most efficient designing process currently available today. End suction (ES), vertical inline (VI), split case (SC) and vertical turbine (VT) product lines use these impellers as standard construction. The advantages of this engineering design and casting process are visible when you look at the performance curves offered by Ameriflo. Ameriflo leverages technology not available in the past to design and develop the most advanced product lines available in the market today.
The SC product was built from the ground up with the fire protection market in mind. Every aspect of its design from the actual hydraulic coverage to the materials of construction were built based on the very stringent NFPA 20 standard. This standard describes slope of curve requirements, suction characteristics, hydrostatic pressure requirements as well as bearing and shaft strength requirements. The 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!!
All models feature investment cast, 304 stainless steel impellers and heavy wall, ribbed ductile iron casings. All shafts and shaft sleeves are offered standard in 420 stainless steel and feature unique and specifiable purge grease bearing lubrication. All inboard and outboard bearing housings are completely removable and replaceable without the need to remove the upper casing assembly. This allows for bearing inspection/replacement to be completed in a fraction of the time as compared to other manufacturers. Casing halves feature quadrant pry-bar locations with jack screws for easy casing disassembly when the need for service arises. Both stuffing box drip basins are also plumbed to a common point making the collection of packing leakage very clean at the job-site. Ameriflo is also one of the only manufacturers that mounts the pump data plate at a location where it is easily viewable, at the center of the upper casing assembly (where it should be).
