2 Description of product
2.1 General description of the pump
Pumps of this type are one-stage centrifugal inline
pumps with a compact design where the impellers
are fixed on the driving shaft extension. The pump
shaft and motor shaft are interconnected by means
of a shaft clamp. These pumps are fitted out with
semi-open impellers.
All pumps are equipped with a single mechanical
seal.
This pump series is designed for horizontal installa-
tions next to a tank. The pumps are foot mounted
and must be screwed down in order to ensure a
secure stance.
2.2 Intended use
These pumps are not self-priming and must be
gravity fed. They are designed to lift coolant for
filtering. Coarse shreds can be transported together
with liquids.
Pay attention of the limit of application in table 1!
Limit of Application (Table 1)
ATTENTION
The pumps are to be operated within their design
limits. Applications outside of these limits are not
approved. The manufacturer is not responsible for
any damages resulting from use of the pumps in
such applications.
