Vertical Magnum 6x5x14 Centrifugal Pump
Sandman® Mission Style Vertical Magnum 6x5x14 Pump is a heavy-duty centrifugal pump designed for drop straight into a wet pit or tank, and the applications where a compact vertical installation, on rigs and vessels and reliable slurry or drilling fluid transfer are required.
Based on the proven Magnum pump hydraulic design, this vertical configuration helps save installation space while delivering dependable performance in demanding environments. The pump is suitable for handling drilling mud, abrasive slurry, industrial fluids, wastewater, and other liquids containing suspended solids.
With replaceable wear components and multiple material options, the Vertical Magnum 6x5x14 Pump provides a practical and cost-effective solution for both new installations and replacement projects.
Design Features
Sandman® Vertical Magnum series share its wet-end parts with the rest of the Magnum I series pumps, which means it inherits the same wear-resistant, low-turbulence engineering that has made the horizontal Magnum a standard on drilling rigs worldwide:
Open impeller with wide-tipped vanes A more tangential suction circumference creates a smoother flow pattern when handling abrasive fluids.
Thicker casing Extends service life against wear and corrosion.
Replaceable shaft sleeve Located in the packing wear area, so the sleeve, not the shaft, takes the wear.
Replaceable stuffing box cover Keeps repair costs down in the highest-wear zone of the pump.
Smooth, non-turbulent flow path Maintained throughout the casing to reduce cavitation and vibration.
Common power end The Magnum I platform, from 3x2x13 through 8x6x14, shares the same power end architecture, so vertical and horizontal units across a fleet draw from the same spare-parts pool.
Why Go Vertical Type Pump?
Sandman horizontal Magnum I 6x5x14 is a proven workhorse, but not every installation has the floor space: or the piping arrangement, to accommodate a horizontally mounted pump and its baseplate. The vertical configuration solves that in a few specific ways:
| Why Go Vertical? | Benefit |
| Smaller footprint | Mounting the pump vertically over a wet pit or tank dramatically reduces the deck space required. |
| Installation layout | Ideal for compact and space-limited systems. |
| Simpler mechanical arrangement | With the shaft directly coupled to the motor, there's no separate bearing housing or mechanical seal to maintain. |
| Direct submersion capability | The design is built to be lowered into a wet pit or tank, drawing fluid directly from the source rather than relying on a flooded suction line. |
| Simplified piping | Reduce suction-side piping in selected installations. |
| Easy system integration | Easy to integrate into mud tanks, drilling, solids control and process equipment. |
| Accessibility | Drive and upper components can be positioned above the fluid source. |
Typical Applications
Sandman® Magnum Vertical 6x5x14 size in particular is a common fit on larger offshore platforms. A typical semi-submersible platform configuration might run four 6x5x14 Vertical pumps alongside two 4x3x13 units, while a drillship might deploy six to eight 8x6x14 Vertical pumps for high-volume mud transfer across compartments, the 6x5x14 sitting in the sweet spot between capacity and space efficiency for mid-size rig systems.
