AURORA 320 Series

Single Stage End Suction Pumps

Capacities to 400 G.P.M. (75 m3/hr)
Heads to 210 Feet (42 Meters)
Temperatures to 225F (107C)
Setting New Standards of Efficiency.
Liquid handling requirements are much more involved than they were five years ago. The variety
of liquids being handled has increased along with temperatures and pressures. Todays
installations demand quiet, smooth-running pumps with long life. Aurora Pumps 90 years
of experience with design, sales and manufacturing of centrifugal pumps has led to the 320
