Suction Pumps
Heavy Duty Design Features for a Wide Range of
Water Supply and Process Services
RENEWABLE CASE WEAR RINGS
Permits easy maintenance of proper
running clearances. Locked in lower
half casing to prevent rotation.

HIGH THRUST CAPABILITY

Spherical roller bearings handle
unexpected thrusts. Secured with
locknut and washer.

LARGE INLET AREAS

Assures smooth flow to
impeller inlet for efficient,
quiet operation.

DOUBLE SUCTION IMPELLER

Minimizes axial thrust. Highly
efficient for smooth, vibration-free
operation.

4 3498
HEAVY DUTY CASING
Casing walls designed to withstand pressure extremes. Rugged design resists
external forces and vibrations. Both suction and discharge connections in lower half
casing. Removal of upper half casing permits inspection, maintenance and removal
of the complete rotating element without disturbing piping or driver.

RENEWABLE IMPELLER WEAR RINGS

A must for proper maintenance of running
clearances. Rings are mechanically locked onto
impeller hubs.

POSITIVE LIQUID SEALING

O-rings between impeller and
sleeves, and O-rings between
sleeves and sleeve nuts protect
shaft from pumpage or confined
corrosion attack.

LABYRINTH BEARING PROTECTION

Labyrinth bearing isolators significantly
reduce the chance for bearing
contamination and greatly improve
mean time between failures.

HEAVY DUTY SHAFT

Designed to reduce deflection.
Renewable shaft sleeves fully
protect shaft from pumpage.
Threaded sections removed
from stress areas.

DUAL VOLUTE CASING DESIGN

Dual volutes having cutwaters 180º
apart provide opposing radial forces
reducing radial loads on bearings and
minimizing shaft deflection. Permits
smooth, trouble-free operation over
wide range of flow rates.
