Vertical Flange Mount
Vertical Flange Mount pumps are a specialized configuration where the pump casing is directly bolted to a matching flange on a tank, vessel, or pipeline, with the motor and shaft assembly mounted vertically above it. This design creates a rigid, integrated unit that eliminates the need for a separate baseplate, foundation, or external support structure. The vertical orientation and direct flange connection provide exceptional alignment stability, minimize footprint, and allow the pump to be mounted directly over the fluid source, which is ideal for applications requiring tank drainage, circulation, or transfer from a closed vessel.
This mounting style is engineered for reliability and ease of maintenance in demanding industrial processes. Common in chemical processing, petroleum, pharmaceuticals, and food and beverage industries, vertical flange-mounted pumps are often used for aggressive, hazardous, or high-temperature fluids where seal life is critical and leakage must be contained. The design facilitates top-down access to the seal and bearings without disturbing the piping or vessel connection, ensuring safer and quicker service while providing a leak-free, compact solution for continuous-duty applications from atmospheric tanks to pressurized reactors.
