Key Features:
- Easy installation: The locating surface in the motor stool simplifies motor mounting and removes the requirement for alignment.
- Reliable and hard-wearing: The sleeve coupling is bi-rotational. Being fully encapsulated, the coupling offers high corrosion resistance and reliable operation.
- Low maintenance costs: Short shaft overhang makes for minimum shaft deflection and minimum bearing loads.
- High operating reliability at low operating costs:
- The maintenance-free and wear-resistant RESIDUR® bearing operates without external cooling and lubrication facilities, thus eliminating cost of periphery equipment.
- Temporary dry-running during pump start-up is permitted, without damaging the pump.
- The pump’s chemical and physical resistance makes it suitable for virtually any fluid (incl. solids-laden fluids).
- Constant efficiencies: Thanks to its corrosion and abrasion resistant materials, the pump maintains its optimum efficiency.
- Low maintenance (PNW only): The special "Ever-Clean-Blade" protection of the hydraulic system prevents clogging of the propeller blades from fibers in the fluid.
