NES NL Series Vacuum Pumps: Reliable Replacements for Nash* CL Series

If you’re searching for a dependable, high-performance alternative to Nash CL Series liquid ring vacuum pumps*, the NES NL Series is engineered as a drop-in replacement—offering cost-effective, industrial-grade reliability. Whether you’re operating in the poultry industry, pulp and paper, power generation, or petrochemical sectors, NES pumps meet the challenge.

Built for Compatibility and Performance

The Nash CL Series vacuum pumps*, introduced in the 1930s by the Nash Engineering Company, have been a mainstay in demanding industrial applications for decades. Known for their conical porting design, these pumps reduce bearing loads by balancing the internal compression force against the rotor’s weight. The classic CL design also featured innovations such as:

  • Optional lobe purge systems to reduce erosion from solids

  • High liquid carryover tolerance

  • Side discharge configuration to reduce the risk of flooded starts

While original CL pumps are increasingly harder to source, NES NL Series pumps provide a reliable solution—either as new drop-in replacements or through rebuilt Nash CL Series units.
