Features and benefits
- Suction bell: Includes anti-vortex ribs and a tail bearing bushing. Supplied with replaceable wear rings.
- Impellers: Closed design, made of stainless steel for versatility. Supplied with replaceable wear ring as standard. Collet construction for 460 mm / 18” pumps or key and split ring for 510 mm / 20” pumps.
- Bowls: Cast iron bowl interiors are coated as a standard to reduce friction and increase efficiency. Bowls are supplied with a replaceable wear ring.
- Bowl bearings: Fitted with a single bronze bearing or dual bronze and rubber bearings.
- Pump shaft: Modular design or “size driven” by the number of stages. Sized individually for each installation, precision machined for application thrust and torque. Provided with a turndown to match line shaft diameter as necessary.
- Column assembly: Column pipes are threaded up to 300 mm / 12”. Columns are flanged from 355 mm and 410 mm (14” and 16”). Line shafts are connected by threaded couplings. Features replaceable bearing retainers and line shaft bearings.
- Column adapter: Provides true connectivity of the column pipe to the bowls to suit various threaded column sizes.
- Upper head shaft: Provided for ease of installation and adjustable pump setting with vertical hollow shaft motor.
- Discharge head: Provides an above-ground connection to existing pipe work. The integral driver stand allows easy access to removable packing/seal box and coupling.
- Shaft seal: A packed stuffing box is provided for reliable sealing and simple maintenance. An optional cartridge type mechanical seal is available.
Options
- Thrust bearing and flexible coupling: Available for pumps with motors having limited thrust carrying capabilities. Designed for an L10 bearing life of 16,000 hours minimum.
- Driver stand: Optional feature required with the thrust bearing and some vertical solid shaft/drive coupling combinations.
- Fabricated discharge head: Available for all sizes with flange ratings of 150# or 300#.
- Sole plate: Cast iron sole plates are available in pre-determined sizes to fit each discharge head.
- Flanged column assembly: Standard for sizes 355 mm / 14” and 410 mm / 16”, available as an option for all other sizes.
- Strainers: Basket and cone strainers are available in galvanized steel.
Operating limits
- Bowl sizes: 180 to 510 mm (7 to 20 in.)
- Capacities: 20 to 1’500 m³/h (100 to 8’000 USgpm)
- Heads: up to 300 m (up to 1’000 ft.)
- Pressures: up to 36 bar (up to 524 psi)
- Temperatures: -15°C to 85°C (5°F to 185°F)
