STP Series

STP Self-Prime Trash Series

The STP Series is comprised of trash pumps and parts that are 100% interchangeable with the Gorman-Rupp Super T Series®. These self-priming trash pumps are a high solids handling, low maintenance series of pump.

The STP model is offered in sizes 2"–10", each equipped with an easily replaceable rotating assembly. The adjustable 4-bolt front cover can be removed to clear debris from the interior of the pump. Available in diesel or electric drive.

Priming notes

STP units are self-priming trash pumps: the casing holds a liquid charge that lets the pump re-prime on its own after the initial fill.

  • Prime the casing once at start-up; the retained charge lets the pump re-prime automatically afterwards.
  • Large solids-handling volute with a clean-out cover for field access to the impeller and wear plate.
  • Suction lift to roughly 25 ft with an airtight suction hose and foot valve where required.

Applications

Typical duty

  • Slurry and sludge transfer
  • Industrial process water
  • Quarry and mining sumps
  • Agricultural waste

Configuration options

  • Highway trailer, single-axle site trailer or bolt-down skid base
  • Diesel engine or electric motor drive
  • Critically silenced acoustic enclosure (~69 dBA at 30 ft)
  • Extended-run fuel cells and containment bases
  • Ductile iron wet end with open impeller for solids passage

Tell us your flow, total head and solids size and we will size the unit for you.

Performance

STP Performance Curves by Model

Head versus flow for each self-prime trash pump model, including suction-lift and engine-speed curves as published on the AMCO model data sheets. All figures are nominal and for guidance only.

AMCO STP3 performance curve: total dynamic head in feet versus flow to 500 gpm, 650-2150 RPM, 8.75" impeller
STP3 performance curve — 3x3 Trash Pump
AMCO STP4 performance curve with 49 HP engine: head versus flow to 810 gpm at 1850-2050 RPM with suction lift curves
STP4 performance curve — 4x4 Trash Pump
AMCO STP6 performance curve: head versus flow to 1,640 gpm at 1500-1700 RPM with 10 to 25 ft suction lift curves
STP6 performance curve — 6x6 Trash Pump
AMCO STP8 performance curve: head versus flow to 2,840 gpm, 650-1350 RPM, 14.75" impeller with efficiency and HP lines
STP8 performance curve — 8x8 Trash Pump
