Arven Vortex Pumps: Tiger & Skipper 100

The Arven Tiger 100 and Skipper 100 are Italian-made heavy-duty submersible vortex pumps designed for pumping dirty water, sewage, and liquids containing suspended solids up to 50 mm. Both share the same 0.75 kW (1.0 HP) motor and hydraulic performance, but differ in construction materials and intended use. The Tiger 100 features a cast iron body with cataphoresis anti-corrosion coating for general wastewater applications. The Skipper 100 is the all-stainless-steel (AISI 316) version, designed for the food industry, chemical processing, and salt water environments where corrosion resistance is critical.

Applications

• Draining effluent ponds and sewage pits
• Pumping dirty water with suspended solids
• Decanting tanks and slurry collection pits
• Domestic and industrial wastewater handling
• Construction site dewatering
• Food processing and chemical environments (Skipper 100)
• Salt water and marine applications (Skipper 100)
