General Pump Features

1 – Impeller & Casing
• Minimal axial thrust due to double-entry impeller.
• Impeller is dynamically balanced to grade G6.3 balance quality in accordance to ISO 1940-1.
• Impeller & Casing are designed using state of art CFD tools to ensure optimal performance.

2 – Shaft
• Heavy duty stainless steel shaft completely sealed and dry for zero corrosion.
• Short and rigid with negligible vibrations.
• Replaceable shaft protecting sleeves.
• No threads exposed to pump medium, long operating life and no corrosion.
• Adjustment-free assembly.

3 – Bearing
• Heavy duty and grease lubricated antifriction bearings for long service life.
• Open gland, enough space for service activities.

4 – Seal
• Asbestos – free, soft packed stuffing boxes.

5 – Casing
• In-line axially split design which permits removal of the complete Impeller Shaft Assembly without removing the pipes & motor.
• Short distance between bearings.
• Leak-tight due to compact joint flange with long Pre-stessed bolts.
• Counter-rotation possible with similar parts.
• Easy mounting self-aligning upper casing.
• Flange drilled as per ANSI B16.1 class 250.
• Smooth surface inside & CED coated for superior corrosion protection.
• Replaceable wear ring protect the casing and the impeller running clearances.
• Heavy duty casing design for high working pressure.
