Jim Vaughan invented the first chopper pump back in 1960, after working on local dairymen's pumps in his repair shop and realizing the need to "chop" the solids while pumping. Since then, Vaughan Chopper Pumps have been successfully applied on dairies where high reliability and low maintenance are demanded. Applications for Vaughan chopper pumps on dairies include:
Vaughan has introduced a series of unique pump configurations specialized for the agricultural industry, including vertical wet well and submersible, dry well pumps.

The Vaughan Chopper Pump is a centrifugal pump with the unique ability of chopping all incoming solids prior to pumping. This not only protects the pump from clogging, but it also benefits downstream components, processes, and the environment. All wear components are cast steel and heat treated for maximum impact and wear resistance. These heavy-duty, patented components are engineered together to create the ultimate pump for handling severe solids. All solids are chopped as they enter between the cutter bar and the impeller vanes. The smaller solids are easily pumped by the centrifugal action of the impeller. |
The Turbo Agitator is a directional mixer for sludge pits, designed to efficiently rotate the contents by pulling settled sludge from the bottom and redirecting flow horizontally, causing a circular rotation within the pit. Available with grease pack bearings or oil bath mechanically sealed bearings.
