Applications
- Pumping of moderately viscous water and liquids with moderate chemical aggressiveness.
- Water supply.
- Irrigation.
- Water circulation (cold, hot, refrigerated).
- Washing in the packaging, textile and food industries
- For aggressive liquids, please contact our sales network.
Construction Features
- Close-coupled, single-impeller centrifugal pump featuring axial intake and radial discharge.
- Pump coupled by adapter to the bare shaft support; special shaft extension in common with pump are supported by ball bearing.
- Back pull-out design; no need to disconnect the pump body from the system pipes.
- Threaded suction and delivery ports (Rp ISO 7).
- In the standard version, all parts in contact with pumped liquid are made of AISI 316 stainless steel.
- High performance open impeller made of AISI 316 stainless steel.
- Sturdy support with permanently lubricated bearings.
- Flexible couplings available for connection to motor shaft of various sizes.
