ITT Goulds Pumps introduces 3430 large double suction pump line
ITT Inc.’s Goulds Pumps has launched its 3430 large double suction pump line, featuring a new design delivering significant advancements in cost, features and hydraulics to the market. Informed by extensive customer feedback, this latest innovation offers unmatched performance with higher efficiencies and competitive net positive suction head (NPSH) in a faster, more compact design, setting a new industry standard, according to the company.

The streamlined and unified design replaces three Goulds Pumps legacy products, standardizing maintenance activities while maximizing interchangeability and reducing spare parts inventory. The design ensures axial and radial balance for long life and low maintenance, incorporates suction and discharge nozzles in lower half casing for ease of inspection, and features easily replaceable wear rings that protect against impeller and casing wear.
The 3430 line’s new i-Frame 360° bearing housing provides easy alignment and maximum strength, features generous seal area access openings for simple replacement of modern split cartridge seals without removal of the bearing housings, and includes integrally casted cooling fins for better heat dissipation. In addition, the versatile casing and shaft design accommodates mechanical seals or packing with just a shaft sleeve change, meaning no machining is required.
“The launch of this first phase of the 3430 line represents a significant milestone for Goulds Pumps and the industry,” said Chris Preston, Senior Global Product Manager at ITT Inc. “The 3430 line offers improved, dynamic design features for a wide range of industrial, municipal, marine and power generation services. These new enhancements ensure improved serviceability, accessibility and installation versatility, and a longer life span with less maintenance required.”
The 3430 pump line incorporates ductile iron casing, 316SS impellers, 316SS shaft sleeves, Nitronic 60 casing wear rings, and extensive investment in tooling to ensure a competitive and cost-effective design. The 3430 line is also available in imperial and metric designs to serve both 50-Hz and 60-Hz markets worldwide.
The new line is ideal for services including industrial process, pulp and paper, primary metals, municipal, utilities and marine. The double suction pump is designed for capacities to 65,000 gpm (14,763 m3/hr), heads to 745 ft (227 m), temperatures to 350°F (177°C), and working pressures to 520 psi (3,585 kPa).
