Description Of Unit

The pump is an end suction centrifugal pump incorporating a fully automatic priming system. This enables the pump to self prime from completely dry conditions, even with extended suction lines. Liquid is not required to prime the pump, and therefore, in temporary dry trench conditions, the pump will ‘snore’ until such time as liquid is available.

The priming system utilizes a 60 CFM rotary vane vacuum pump which evacuates air from the priming tank and suction line. Once liquid has replaced the air in the system, a float gear closes to prevent the introduction of water into the vacuum assembly. The vacuum pump is lubricated by a self contained oil system which includes an oil/water separator for oil recovery. The increased air handling capability and greater suction lifts that this unit offers, make it ideal for well point dewatering or the priming of multiple standard pumps.

The pump can handle raw unscreened sewage, trade effluents, thick slurries and solids up to a normal limitation of 2.55" (65mm) diameter.

The standard impeller is of a three bladed fully open design, of 316 Stainless Steel construction.  It is mounted on a 431 Stainless Steel shaft fitted to a cast iron bearing bracket, which also provides concentric location for the pump volute.

The pump volute is Ductile Iron fitted with replaceable 316 Stainless Steel wearing parts to simplify and reduce costs of pump rebuilds. 

The mechanical seal is leak tight and suitable for sewage and sludges.  The seal uses a silicon carbide rotating face mated to a silicon carbide stationary seat with Buna-N seal elastomers.  The arrangement incorporates an oil-filled seal housing to lubricate the seal faces when dry running.

Guards are fitted as standard to all moving parts.
