Feed water

These pumps are designed to handle:

  • Clean and slightly contaminated liquids
  • Viscous liquids
  • Low-consistency fibrous slurries
  • Liquids in applications with small pressure pulsations

Mechanical / hydraulic

  • Impeller:
    • Double entry impeller.
    • Double suction impeller with split, staggered, and skewed vanes for high efficiency and low Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) values.
    • Low pulsation impellers are available for stringent paper machine head box applications.
    • ZPP: Impeller installed on the shaft by strong interference fit without keyway, designed for easy hydraulic disassembly.
  • Casing:
    • Axially split, heavy-duty horizontally split casing.
    • Allows inspection, maintenance, and removal of the rotating unit without disturbing piping or motor.
    • Available with single volute for lower head and double volute for higher head applications.
    • Designed for low radial loads on bearings and low shaft deflection, extending seal and bearing life.
  • Casing wear rings:
    • Renewable casing wear rings protect the casing from wear and assure smooth flow, improving efficiency.
    • Easy to maintain correct clearance.
    • Wear ring locked in lower casing to prevent rotation.
  • Shaft:
    • Heavy-duty shaft for high corrosion and wear resistance, plus high strength.
    • Reduced shaft deflection for extended seal and bearing life.
    • Duplex stainless steel shaft.
  • Shaft sealing (Versatile):
    • Stuffing box: External or internal sealing liquid; ZPP features a split stuffing box gland and lantern ring with withdrawal grooves for easy service.
    • Mechanical seal: Different mechanical seals available; ZPP seals fit into the same chamber as packings, allowing easier change to another type of sealing.
  • Bearing unit:
    • ZPP: Long lifetime with high thrust spherical roller bearings (identical on both sides); Grease or oil lubrication; Effective bearing protection by non-contact wear-free labyrinth seals and deflector; No adjustments needed for quicker assembly.
    • Z22: Long lifetime with high thrust angular contact ball bearing for axial load and deep ball bearing for radial load; Grease lubrication as standard.
  • Flexible installation:
    • Single and dual drive alternatives.
    • Horizontal or vertical installation for compact setup.
    • Some Z22 sizes are available in angled execution.
