The Phantom Pumps PL-6 Centrifugal, Self-Priming Pump

The PL-6 Pump

The PL-6 is a self-primer pump that is perfectly suited for buried tanks, sumps, tankers, liquids, construction applications, industrial plants, fire departments, mining operations, and among others. This pump can meet a variety of flow and pressure specifications and is offered in low-pressure configurations. It’s a dynamic pump that is interchangeable with many familiar, reputable brands that may already exist in a current system.

The Benefits & Advantages of the PL-6

The PL-6 is an advanced self-priming centrifugal pump, a part of the acclaimed PL Series. This pump encapsulates the combination of superior performance, easy maintenance, and robust operational features.

Superior Performance

The PL-6 offers exceptional flow rates and top-tier performance characteristics. It has the capability to handle solids up to 3 inches and is suitable for high-head and high-volume pumping applications.

Removable Cover Plate

The PL-6 features a removable cover plate, providing quick and easy access to the pump interior. This feature greatly reduces service and maintenance time, consequently minimizing operational downtime.

External Shim-Less Adjustment

The PL-6 is equipped with a unique external shim-less adjustment feature, allowing for convenient adjustment of the wear plate and impeller clearance. This capability ensures the pump's optimal performance without necessitating complete disassembly.

Multi-Vane Impellers

Fitted with multi-vane impellers, the PL-6 achieves optimal efficiencies. Its design allows it to manage solids and slurries effectively, making it a perfect choice for a myriad of demanding applications.

Replaceable Wear Plate

The PL-6 features a replaceable wear plate, thereby prolonging the life of the pump and lowering maintenance costs. The wear plate can be replaced without having to disassemble the entire pump.

Dual Protection System

The PL-6 incorporates a dual protection system, including a seal leak detector and a bearing temperature sensor. This system aids in the early detection of potential issues, thus preventing significant failures and ensuring reliability.

Back Pull-Out Design

The PL-6 utilizes a back pull-out design to simplify maintenance. This design allows for easy disassembly of the pump for repair or inspection while leaving the casing in the piping.

Automatic Air Release

The PL-6 features an automatic air release system during priming for smooth and efficient operation. It does not require a foot valve as it can prime and reprime fully automatically.

Versatile Applications

The PL-6 exceeds in serving professionals across industries such as asphalt, water & wastewater, chemical, mining, food & beverage, oil & gas, pulp & paper, electricity & power, agriculture, and general commercial industries.
