Pump
The CR and CRE pump is a non-self-priming, vertical
multistage centrifugal pump. The pumps are available
with a Grundfos standard motor (CR pumps) or a
frequency-controlled motor (CRE pumps).
The pump consists of a base and a pump head. The
chamber stack and the outer sleeve are secured
between the pump head and the base by means of
staybolts. The base has suction and discharge ports on
the same level (in-line).
All pumps are equipped with a maintenance-free
mechanical shaft seal of the cartridge type.
