In the need of low head high capacity pumping applications, axial pumps are used.

The importance and usage of this type of pump is daily increasing, especially with the change of climatic conditions in the world, which is leading to uncontrolled floods.

Axial (propeller) flow vertical pumps are highly adaptable designs used to pump relatively large amounts of fluid at low pressures. The vertical mounting allows for installations with minimal floor space, flooded suctions and minimal foundation work.
