Benefits:
High operating reliability
• The double-entry impeller balances axial thrust, reducing the loads acting on the rolling element bearings.
• The pump casing's double-volute design balances radial forces, ensuring low vibration levels during operation.
Low maintenance costs
• Long service life of the rolling element bearings, sealing elements and coupling thanks to a short, rigid shaft and the spring-loaded bearing arrangement
• Corrosion and abrasion-resistant materials make for maximum service lives of shaft protecting sleeves, casing wear rings and impeller wear rings as well as of the impeller.
Service-friendly design
• Fast and easy to assemble thanks to self-centring components such as rotor, mechanical seal, upper casing half, bearing housings and seal housing
• The hexagon head bolts used are easy to remove, enabling fast maintenance. The casing split flange provides direct access to the inside of the pump.
Reliable sealing
• The solid casing split flange on the upper casing half and lower casing half ensures reliable and trouble-free sealing of the casing halves.
Energy-efficient operation
• High efficiencies reduce energy costs during operation.
• The double-volute casing and the rigid shaft enable a compact, energy-efficient design.
• The hydraulic system is optimised for high speeds.
