Common FAQs to Get to Know Vulcan Pumps & Our Industry Niche

At Vulcan Pumps, we’ve become recognized industry-wide for our quality pump solutions that stand up to abrasive and corrosive conditions that can cause other pumps to fail. But that’s not all we’re known for, nor should it be. 

In fact, customer relations is a bedrock principle that drives our philosophy and informs our processes. This rings true from our first interactions to after-sale support; so much so, it’s become a point of company pride. Get to know Vulcan Pumps more, and the highly specialized industry niche we’ve been blessed to serve.

Why Work with Us?

Vulcan Pumps is a client-focused company—meaning we offer custom-crafted pumping solutions that suit your specific needs. We do this without incurring sacrifices to quality or concessions to quick lead/delivery times.

This is to our clients’ and distributors’ immediate and ongoing benefit: We are flexible in meeting our customers’ requirements. Customer service is our backbone, and our clients always receive a personalized response.

What’s Our Quality Control Process?

Our quality control process involves an extensive 11-point checklist that addresses major areas of concern, ensuring optimal performance and reliability. 

Why Vulcan HDS?

The Vulcan HDS submersible slurry pump is our highly advantageous, anchor product. It is U.S.-made, which includes all patterns, casting, and machine parts and assembly. It offers a wide variety of metallurgies, such as CD4CUN, Alloy 20, Hastelloy, 2205, 2507, and 316 stainless steel. 

Our slurry pumps can be manufactured in-house for application-specific requirements, including highly abrasive or corrosive environments. We provide ASTM A532 Cl. III Type A high-chrome iron liquid end casings for abrasive conditions—and adopt ASTM A890 duplex and super duplex stainless steels and ASTM A494 high nickel alloys for more chemical or chloride-inundated settings. 

Based on these properties and more, our HDS submersible slurry pumps can meet your requirements, even in the most challenging environments.

Synthesizing Vulcan Pumps into a specialized set of core competencies isn’t difficult to do: We design and manufacture high-quality submersible pumps for our industry partners.

Our pumps are U.S.-made and undergo extensive quality control for total partner assurance. Based in Birmingham, AL, Vulcan Pumps offers quick and streamlined lead times, with in-stock parts inventoried locally.

Our time in the industry has garnered recognition as a trusted, specialized pump manufacturer.  Partners have come to look to us for custom, quality solutions that meet specific needs. We have marshaled a team around us to continue this core mission: time and budget-conscious solutions that don’t compromise on quality. Vulcan Pumps staffs a breadth of engineers, expert craftsmen, and knowledgeable representatives that work with our partners toward a well-suited solution.
