Municipal and Industrial Sewage Pump Manufacturer

The Original Plunger Pump... 

The Original Sewage Transfer Pump. 

2014 is a special year for the Sludge Master Plunger 

pump. This is the year over 20,000 installations will be 

surpassed worldwide. While 20,000 installations may 

only be a number, this represents thousands of satisfied 

customers spanning government, military, industrial 

wastewater treatment, food processing and more. When a 

pump technology has the proven quality and dependability 

over thousands of customers, its no wonder why 

consulting engineers have specified plunger pumps for 

over 85 years. 

technology designed to pump variations in solids and grit 

- the plunger pump. They won’t tell you that the plunger 

pump is one of the only pump technologies that can run 

dry without catastropic pump damage and they certainly 

won’t tell you that plunger pumps are easier to service and 

less expensive to own. 

Sludge Master Plunger Pumps consist of five product 

categories: the PE Series, HPE, EHPE Series, Space Saver 

Series and HPX engine driven plunger pumps. Sludge 

Master’s allow for custom options on any model including 

upgraded pump packing, plunger coating options and 

components available in bronze and stainless steel. 

Modern Solutions for Sludge Pumping 

A Google search on the internet for “sewage pumps” 

will yield results for plunger pumps, double disc pumps, 

rotary lobe pumps, progressive cavity pumps and more. 

All of these pump companies sell a story of “less mess”, 

“induced flow”, “technologically advanced” and more. 

What they don’t tell you is that their product offerings 

can’t compare to the orginal positive displacement pump 

The New Space Saver III 

Recent Customer surveys suggest that many sewage 

treatment plants consider space constraints when 

selecting new pumping equipment. Wastecorp responded 

with the introduction of the Space Saver III, a compact 

plunger pump which sheds over 20% off the footprint of a 

traditional plunger pump. Learn more inside. 

Wastecorp is a proud member and supporter of the water handling technology organizations above. 

Wastecorp exhibits Sludge Master Plunger Pumps yearly at the conferences held by these organizations.

What is a Plunger Pump? 

A plunger pump is a positive displacement pump which uses a 

plunger to force liquid from the suction side to the discharge side of 

the pump. Wastecorp Plunger Pumps are specified to move heavy 

municipal and industrial sludge up to 18-20% solids. 

Wastecorp Plunger Pumps operate essentially clog free because 

the pulsating motion of the plunger break up potential blockages. 

All Wastecorp Plunger Pump series’ are self-priming and capable of 

handling suction lifts up to 25 ft.

The first plunger pump model produced in America 

circa 1928. The pump was manufactured by the 

founding engineers (shown) in Ridgewood, NJ USA.

More Innovation. More Options 

For Pumping Municipal or Industrial Sewage for The Long Haul. 

From replaceable connecting rod inserts to energy saving 

drive systems, you get more from Sludge Master Plunger 

Pumps. Wastecorp invests hundreds of engineering 

hours to perfect our industry leading design. Innovation 

never stops at Wastecorp. Our research has led to such 

breakthroughs as replaceable connecting rod inserts 

which allows you to replace the worn liner instead of 

the entire connecting rod. We also introduced 160,000 

psi strength shafts for extended wear life. Other pump 

types simply can’t stand up to punishing pumping 

conditions, likely at your facility. Rotary lobe, progressive 

cavity and double disc pumps all sell a story but only a 

Sludge Master can pump the gritty, heavy sewage that 

is common at modern sewage treatment plants. Most 

of these other pumps require 60% more maintenance 

hours compared to a plunger pump and much higher 

replacement parts costs. PE, HPE and EHPE pumps 

consistently rank among the top sludge pumps of choice. 

And there’s a reason for it. Wastecorp innovation keeps 

daily ownership costs lower. 

1. Sectionalized Construction 

With a cast iron sectionalized construction 

maintenance is easy and so is routine inspection 

of critical components. The Sludge Master 

is designed for variations in grit pumping and 

wastewater sewage pumping applications. 

2. Simple Design 

Positive displacement pumps don’t get much 

more simple than a plunger pump. And that’s a 

good thing, since the more complex a pump is 

engineered, the more difficult it is to service and 

more expensive to repair.

3. Smart Pump Innovations 

Sludge Master Plunger Pumps feature the 

latest innovations in sludge pump technology 

like guided plunger assemblies. This 

assembly helps to keep the wet section 

aligned when the facilitiy experiences higher 

than normal water concentration, particually 

after rain storms. 

4. Suction and Discharge Pressure Gauges 

Protect your pump from closed valves and 

blockages in your lines with suction and discharge 

pressure gauges. You’ll also be able 

to evaluate your pumps performance more 

closely and trouble shoot more easily.

Packing Options 

Improve The Seal and Reduce Leaks 

Your Sludge Master Plunger Pump is available with several 

packing arrangements to optimize pump performance and reduce 

leaks. You have a choice of three upgraded pump packing kits for 

your plunger pump. 

1. Wastecorp Graphite 

Flax Packing 

Your Sludge Master plunger 

pump ships standard with 

a graphite flax packing 

arrangement. Graphite flax is 

designed for pumping general 

municipal wastewater. 

2. Wastecorp Plunger Pac TM 

For added protection against 

leaks select Wastecorp 

Plunger Pac with urethane 

and a braided Teflon lower 

ring. The urethane u-cup acts 

similar to a windshield wiper 

on the car moving sewage 

closely along the plunger with 

every stroke. The kit includes 

a urethane U-cup seal, top 

v-ring adapter, V-ring center 

(Quantity varies based on 

stuffing box height), Bottom 

v-ring adapter Braided Teflon 

ring.

PE Series 

Heavy Duty Sewage Transfer Pumps 

Relentless Performance. 

Sludge Master PE Series plunger pumps manufactured by Wastecorp in North America are designed to handle the 

heavy, effluent viscous sludge encountered in sanitary and industrial waste treatment processes. 

PE Series plunger pumps are available with our standard V-Belt drive, constant speed direct drive, or variable speed/ 

frequency drives. These pumps are capable of capacities up to 495 GPM and head levels up to 180 feet. Pump 

capacity can be permanently adjusted through the use of multiple eccentric positions established by an index pin. 

ensure operators stay comfortably productive.

1. Overload Protection 

One of the great features of a plunger 

pump versus double disc pumps, progressive 

cavity or rotary lobe pumps is the standard 

overload protection. If a pin shears, 

the pump shuts down which may help 

reduce damage to critical components 

2. Advanced Shafting Material 

160,000 psi strength shafts will help to 

promote the long term reliability of your 

sewage pumps. Our premium shafting 

material is standard on all Sluddge Master 

Plunger Pumps. 

3. Pumps That Adapt to Your Needs 

A dual ball valve assembly is available on all 

PE Series models. This configuration allows 

facilities with heavy sewage to pump 18% 

solids and improve flow by 10%. See a 

video on how it works at: 

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JXW8YIZE-mw 

The PE Series is an industry rated alternative to Penn Valley Model 6DDSX76 Double Disc Pump. Did you know? Many 

facilities who have tried Penn Valley products find that the double disc pump cannot handle grit and thicker slurries. What 

this means is that when seasonal conditions produce thicker municipal sewage Sludge the double Master disc Plunger pump Pumps is known by Wastecorp. to fail. The so 

called new technology also is costly to maintain and the swan neck must be completely removed to service the pump. New 

technology is not always the best technology?

HPE Series 

Severe Duty Sewage Transfer Pumps 

The world’s largest wastewater treatment facilities trust HPE Series heavy duty 

plunger pumps to pump the millions of gallons of raw sewage and wastewater 

critical to public sanitation and overall best practices for sewage transfer. 

productive. 

Where ever higher than usual working 

pressures are of prime consideration, 

Wastecorp provides the answer with the 

ruggedly-built HPE series. HPE Series 

plunger pumps are designed to meet 

the needs of the higher capacity plants 

with operating capacities to 600 GPM 

and heads to 240 feet. These pumps are 

similar to the PE units but incorporate 

heavier drive components, larger 

shafts and heavy duty connecting rod 

assemblies. 

With the HPE plunger pump series you 

get a team of skilled engineers and 

factory support representatives who 

review the specification and suggest 

pump design ideas to assist the facility 

in maximizing productivity for sewage 

handling solutions. 

Case in Point 

The Wastecorp Connecting Rod 

At the heart of plunger pump sewage transfer 

technology is the connecting rod assembly. The 

connecting rod connects to the pump shaft via 

eccentric and to the wet section through the 

crosshead and plunger. 

With a Wastecorp connecting rod, the operator 

need not replace the entire unit when performing 

maintenance. The bronze insert simply slides off 

and a new one put in place. This saves time and 

thousands of dollars in maintenance costs over the 

life cycle of the pump.

What Borger rotary lobe pumps doesn’t tell you. 

Rotary lobe pumps have specific design issues 

such as stator & rotor wear effecting pump efficiency. 

As the rotors and stators wear on the 

pump, the pump becomes less able to productively

transfer sewage. While they claim to be 

self priming, most rotary lobe pumps cannot 

respond well in such circumstances.

1. Pump Lubrication Options 

Sludge Master Plunger pumps are available with several oiler options to lubricate the 

connecting rod and eccentric. The most popular oiler option is the electric solenoid 

which automatically feeds SAE 30 oil to the critical rotating elements. At left, the 

standard drip feed oilers feed connecting rods individually. 

2. Stabilization Options 

Wastecorp recommends the guided plunger assembly for EHPE plunger pumps. The 

guided plunger assembly will help keep the plunger and connecting rod in line when 

pumping higher than normal concentrations of water or reduce wear on the plunger and 

stuffing box when packing becomes worn. 

3. Easy Maintenance Design 

The EHPE Series features an easy maintenance design which reduces downtime 

and makes maintenance quick and simple. To change the plunger or stuffing box, 

maintenance crews simply unbolt the stuffing box and swing the connecting rod 

assembly out. Maintaining the pump packing, ball valves and valve seats is just as easy.

you have come to expect from Sludge Master Plunger Pumps within a 

compact integrated steel frame. At its widest point it measures less than 17”. 

These units are equipped with a uni-construction steel base that eliminates 

the need for a structural concrete pad.oductive. 

The Wastecorp Space Saver is the 

ideal replacement choice for an existing 

rotary lobe, progressive cavity 

or disc pump, since the suction and 

discharge piping configurations are 

very similar. 

Many WWTP’s with varying grit and 

solids pumping requirements have 

made the switch to the Space Saver 

with a versatility that other pump 

makes do not have. Plunger sizes 

are available in 7”, 9” and 11”.
