Self-Priming Centrifugal Pumps J Series

Varisco J Series - solids handling pumps are designed for efficiency and reliability across various demanding applications. 

The J self-priming centrifugal pumps are specifically designed for applications requiring fast priming from challenging suction heights while effectively handling polluted, waste, and abrasive fluids with suspended solids. These pumps are particularly useful in industries where solids handling pumps are required, including open impeller pumps, which are engineered for heavy-duty, high-head pumping.

The system features an inspectable pump casing, which also serves as a built-in water tank, enabling early and quick priming without the need for auxiliary systems. This design simplifies system management while significantly reducing maintenance times and operational complexities.

Whether you need a self-priming water pump for industrial applications, Varisco pumps range of high-quality solutions guarantees durability, efficiency, and ease of maintenance, tailored to your specific needs.

Accessories

PSDrive® - Electric pump on-board inverter

Varisco PSDrive can be installed directly on the motor in place of the Varisco pumps terminal board cover. It ensures:

  • Energy saving due to motor rotation speed control
  • Extended operating life of the pump and protection against overloads
  • Easy and fast commissioning thanks to initial configuration wizard
  • High thermal and mechanical performance thanks to fully aluminium container and independent ventilation


Thanks to the Varisco PSDrive App, it’s possible to communicate with all PSDrive Bluetooth® SMART devices.

Pump Configuration

Varisco offers the J Series self-priming pumps in various sizes and metallurgical configurations. Available as bare shaft pumps or as complete units with an electric motor, the J Series is one of the largest ranges worldwide. Designed for versatility, it adapts to diverse water management applications, including those involving suspended solids.

The operating principle of self-priming pump

The operating principle of a self-priming pump relies on its ability to evacuate air from the suction line and create a vacuum, allowing liquid to be drawn into the pump casing without the need for external priming.

The air is drawn into the pump by the vacuum created by the moving open impeller, and it emulsifies with the liquid in the pump casing. The air-liquid emulsion is forced into the priming chamber where the lighter air separates and comes out from the delivery pipe; the heavier liquid falls back and recirculates.

Once all the air is expelled from the suction duct, the pump is activated and runs just like a regular centrifugal pump. The pump can also run with an air- liquid mixture.

The non-return valve has a dual function: it prevents the suction pipe from emptying when the pump is not running; if the suction pipe is accidentally emptied, it keeps sufficient liquid in the pump casing for priming. The delivery pipe must be free to release the air deriving from the suction.
