Application and Versatility
Our Pumps range of Dredge and Gravel pumps is designed specifically for continuous
pumping of extremely aggressive slurries, with a wide particle size distribution. Capable
of handling large particles at consistently high efficiencies results in low cost of
ownership. The large volume internal profile of the casing reduces associated velocities
further increasing component life.
Design and Unique Features
1. The unique segmented clamp ring on larger size units and solid on smaller pumps,
facilitates casing rotation to any angle, reducing the need for costly high wearing
bends. Minimal maintenance is required.
2. Impeller expulsion vanes reduce gland pressure and intrusion of high concentrations
of solids in the gland area. Efficiency is maintained by minimising suction side
recirculation.
3. Specially designed and shaped impeller vanes allow the handling of extraordinarily
large particles. The unique casing design and sealing vanes prevent abrasive solids
intrusion at the sealing faces.
4. The large, robust casing has been designed to reduce internal velocities resulting
in minimum efficiency loss and improved casing wear life. The casing is made up
of three components to reduce maintenance time and costs associated with a onepiece
design. ( Except the 6/ 4 which has two components)
5. Our Pumps heavy-duty grease lubricated taper roller bearing assemblies are fitted as
standard. A rigid large diameter shaft with reduced overhang minimises deflection
and vibration under all conditions ensuring trouble free operation. Unusually high
service factors enable the assembly to carry all radial and axial thrusts.
6. A unique â -10â ( dash 10) end cover assembly comprising of V-seals, double piston rings and an external flinger with grease lubricated labyrinths are standard with all
pumps.
