Fairbanks: Fairbanks Morse
built 235 days ago
In 1916, Charles Hosmer Morse, a Fairbanks employee, acquired control of the company. Then in 1927, the Fairbanks office in New York became part of the Fairbanks-Morse company, giving Fairbanks-Morse complete control over the manufacturing and distribution of Fairbanks Scales. During this time the Fairbanks-Morse company produced not only scales but diesel engines, electric engines and pumps for industrial use. In 1958, Fairbanks-Morse merged with Penn-Texas and was renamed Fairbanks-Whitney.

Each of the eight Fairbanks Morse brand pumps on the project weighs over ten tons, stands more that 12 feet high, and can handle more than 50,000 gallons per minute. For energy conservation, they will be driven by high-efficiency electric controlled by variable frequency drives. In addition to the main pumps, 19 large sludge pumps and 10 smaller, specialized pumps round out the Pentair contract.

For over a century, Fairbanks Morse has been manufacturing a wide range of pumps for applications in public works and industrial installations. These include dry pit and submersible solids-handling, dry pit and submersible recessed impeller, vertical line shaft and submersible turbine, mixed-flow and axial-flow propeller pumps, horizontal and vertical split case, a complete line of FM-Approved and UL Listed fire pumps (both electric motor and diesel engine driven), domestic jet and submersible well pumps.
