Ameriflo Leveraging Technology

Ameriflo is THE market leader in leveraging technology to design, develop and manufacture the highest quality product line available in the Fire Protection industry period. With the largest North American third party certified hydraulic offering trust your life safety applications to the new kid on the block!! There simply is no other pump manufacturer that offers the hydraulic envelope and options for product, metallurgy and integrated package solutions anywhere in the world.

We design all product in house utilizing state-of-the-art solids modeling and computational fluid dynamics software. We are one of the last pump manufacturers to still have a fully staffed engineering group in house that actually understands the product that we manufacture and are dedicated to full customer support before, during and after the sale. This technical background theme continues to the top with the President & CEO!!

The amount of interest in the product line has been truly amazing and we are very happy to have so many new accounts join the Ameriflo family. Please continue to contact us to start your next move and drive your company into a new and successful direction.

Ameriflo…..The Future Of Fire Protection

 

5040 Vertical Turbine Pumps

5040 Series VT Vertical Turbine

A product line that nearly every pump manufacturer struggles with is, without a doubt, the dreaded vertical turbine.  This is a complex pump with a variable number of stages and the option of selecting nearly any overall length dimension.  It is for this reason that many manufacturers stay away from this product type all together or those that decide to offer it, do a horrible job at manufacturing and supplying it.  Here at Ameriflo, we excel at this very challenging product line and offer the largest third party certified hydraulic coverage in the fire protection industry.

Performance Characteristics

  • Sizes:  10 Inch to 22 Inch Bowls
  • Flows:  100 to 8,000 GPM
  • Pressures:  40 to 377 PSI
  • Frequencies:  50 & 60 Cycle
  • Speeds:  2950, 1760 & 1450 RPM

Vertical turbine pumps are perfectly suited for applications where a pool of water is the fluid source.  This source can be fresh, brackish or sea water.  Ameriflo can manufacture vertical turbine pumps out of standard materials but also offers a complete family of optional metallurgy for these demanding applications.

GEN-PAC Booster Systems

One of the most diverse products in the Ameriflo product line is the ability to integrate any standard fire pump (pump on a base with coupling, coupling guard and driver) into a fully integrated system.  This Genesys Booster System (GEN-PAC) offers the client a fully integrated solution that makes the installation very easy.

GEN-PAC Booster Systems are available in a variety of configurations including one electric (1E), one diesel (1D), one electric + one diesel (1E+1D), two electric (2E) or two diesel (2D) configurations.  Systems can be supplied in end suction (ES), vertical inline (VI), split case (SC) and vertical turbine (VT) product types.  While Ameriflo has expanded their offering to include this very popular option, other fire pump manufacturers have backed out of the booster system market completely.  Many current Ameriflo distributors/representatives have joined the Ameriflo group because the GEN-PAC option is needed so that they can compete in their respective markets.  This additional product line gives the Ameriflo distributor/representative a complete fire protection solution and a single source of responsibility.

Investment Cast Impellers

Investment Cast Impellers

One of the biggest differences between the Ameriflo product line and all others is the excrutiating attention to detail that they make as a primary focus.  The heart of the pump, the impellers, determine overall performance and slope of the performance curve.  Ameriflo is the ONLY pump manufacturer that standardizes on investment cast impellers for standard construction in all manufactured fire protection product lines.  These impellers have very smooth fluid passageways which have a direct effect of increased  efficiency which can be seen on all published performance curves.

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.
