About Us

ince we built our first pumps in 1938, the

Carver name has become synonymous with
value. Today we are recognized as one of the
worlds leading centrifugal pump companies,
building pumps to the most demanding
engineering specifications and military
standards in the world.
Our company is located in Muscatine, Iowa,
25 miles southwest of the Quad Cities area. Our
operations there include modern manufacturing
equipment and pump development software,
and we are committed to the highest quality
possible in our products and our people.
Along these lines, Carver was also one of the
first American pump companies to attain
ISO 9001 certification the most recognized
standard for quality in the world. We also just
recently obtained CE and ATEX certification as
recognized by the European Community for
both the Maxum and RS Series.

These certifications are also your assurance that

our commitment to quality isnt limited to our
hardware, but to superior customer service,
leading edge R & D, and continuous
improvement in everything we do as well. In
short, at Carver we do it right the first time,
every time.

From an applications standpoint Carver has

traditionally focused on the Industrial and
Marine markets. Within these markets we build
pumps for handling water, oil, and chemicals
for both the public and private sectors.

These markets, however, are by no means the

only ones we are active in. In fact, it is hard
to find an industry, market, or service today
that doesnt use a Carver pump as its prime
fluid mover.
Either way, our pumps all carry the same
Carver trademark: lasting value from solid,
straightforward designs that provide many
years of service. So whether the job is refueling
fighter jets on the deck of an aircraft carrier,
supplying paint to an auto assembly line, or
bringing water to the fountain in a city park, we
put our reputation on the line every day with
every pump we build.

API Maxum Series

Our product line includes both horizontal and

vertical end suction, multi-stage, axial split
case, self-priming, and solids-handling pumps.

Running at standard motor speeds of 3500 RPM,

1750 RPM, and/or 1150 RPM, together they
cover a hydraulic range to 10,000 GPM and

Industrial Pumps for General Service, Process and API

or General Service applications we offer

horizontal and vertical pumps. Our GHF and
GHC Series horizontal pumps are available in
close coupled or frame mounted arrangements.
These pumps are offered in cast iron, bronze
or 316 SS fitted cast iron, or all 316 SS
executions.

In addition to these standard pumps, we also

bring the benefit of 60 years experience in
special application pumps. So, if you require
special flows, pressures, temperatures,
mounting, or drive configurations, we can
create a pump specifically for you.

efinery Applications
In the Process Industries, Carver can be found
wherever heavy-duty pumps are specified. Our
process pumps include a full range of horizontal,
vertical, multi-stage ring section, self-priming,
and solids handling designs.

Our pumps are engineered to handle high flows,

high pressures, extreme temperatures,
aggressive materials, and/or entrained solids
that are typical in:

Chemical Processing
The Maxum Series is available as either the
Process Maxum or API Maxum Series. Both
units are designed to meet specific needs of
individual markets. While the Process Maxum is
foot mounted, the API Maxum is centerline
mounted and fully
complies with API
610
Specifications.
Both series provide
flows to
9,000 GPM
with heads
up to 720 ft. Depending
on the application, both series are available in a
wide range of material options.

The RS Series ring section, multi-stage pumps

are available as horizontal or vertical units. The
RS6 has 600 lb. flanges for heads to 1,900 ft.
while the RS9 has 900 lb. flanges for discharge
heads to 2,800 ft.

Power Generation

Both are available in ductile iron or CD4MCu

with iron, bronze, or CD4MCu internals. And,
like the Maxum Series, the RS can be motor
or turbine driven and is available in high
temperature arrangements as well.

MIL Horizontal Split Case

On the Commercial Marine side we have a full

line of both horizontal and vertical pumps. The
MHF is our horizontal close
coupled series. Our vertical
pumps include the MVP vertical
in-line, pedestal mounted
series, and the MVS vertical
sump series capable of pumping
MIL
from tanks 20 feet below deck.
Horizontal

Designed for onboard pumping of fresh water,

seawater, and other fluids, these pumps can be
used on everything from U.S. Coast Guard
cutters and icebreakers to barges, ocean-going
tankers, workboats, ferry boats, small pleasure
craft, and even luxury
yachts.
