Let us help you find the right product from this series
Key Specifications
- Flows up to 2000 m³/h
- Pressure up to 16 bar
Product features
- Integrated vacuum pump → Supports priming with high gas content
- Self-priming construction → Can remove the need for a separate priming tank
- Semi-open impeller → Supports solids-containing and viscous liquids
- Flow up to 9,000 m³/h → Covers high-capacity process duties
- Head up to 190 m → Supports demanding pipe systems
- Pressure up to 40 bar → Covers higher-pressure process applications
- Sugar concentrations up to 70% → Supports viscous sugar-industry duties
- Degassing at the impeller inlet → Reduces the effect of trapped air
- Non-clogging hydraulic concept → Helps reduce interruptions with solids-containing media
- AxFlow selection and service support → Helps check suction conditions, materials and spare parts
Self-priming pumps with an integrated vacuum pump prevent air from collecting at the impeller inlet and ensure that the pump draws in well, even with high gas content or unfavourable suction pipe arrangement. These design features make self-priming centrifugal pumps perfectly suited for applications and processes in the sugar, pulp, paper and food industries, as well as for water supply and wastewater treatment.
The vacuum pump removes gas from the medium to ensure trouble-free transport of the medium.
What is this pump series used for?
The series is used in the applications described for this product family. Suitability depends on the liquid, duty point and installation conditions. AxFlow can help verify these parameters before selection.
What data should be checked before pump selection?
Check required flow, head or pressure, temperature, liquid properties and installation conditions. Solids, fibers, gas content and abrasiveness must also be considered where relevant. AxFlow can help confirm the duty point and configuration.
How does the pump design affect maintenance?
Maintenance requirements depend on the hydraulic design, sealing arrangement, bearings and actual operating conditions. Service intervals should be based on the installed configuration and process. AxFlow can help plan spare parts and maintenance.
Can AxFlow support spare parts for installed pumps?
Yes, AxFlow can help identify the installed pump and required spare or wear parts. The nameplate, serial number and exact configuration should be checked before compatibility is confirmed. This reduces the risk of ordering the wrong part and extending downtime.
How should a replacement pump be selected?
Replacement selection should start with the existing duty point, pipework, connections, materials and motor conditions. A similar series name does not by itself confirm mechanical or hydraulic interchangeability. AxFlow can compare the installed pump with current ANDRITZ options and support replacement selection.
