With wide-ranging power options (0.3775 kW), various impeller types, and multiple connection and sealing options, it is highly adaptable to different process requirements and site conditions.
Reliable and Low Maintenance OperationDesigned with heavy-duty anti-friction bearings, insulation class F/H, and protection class IP55/IP56, the pump ensures minimal downtime and maximum service life. Simple manual or automatic controls make it easy to operate and maintain, reducing operational costs and enhancing productivity.
FAQs of Chemical Process Pump:
Q: How does the impeller type affect pump performance in chemical processing?
A: The pump is available with both closed and semi-open impellers. Closed impellers provide superior efficiency and handle cleaner fluids, while semi-open impellers are suitable for fluids containing solids. Choosing the correct impeller type optimizes performance for your specific chemical process application.
Q: What benefits does the heavy-duty anti-friction bearing offer?
A: Heavy-duty anti-friction bearings minimize wear and tear even under continuous operation and high load, resulting in longer service intervals and reduced downtime. This enhances the pumps reliability in demanding industrial environments.
Q: Where can this pump be installed and operated?
A: It is designed for installation as a baseplate-mounted unit in chemical plants, pharmaceutical facilities, effluent treatment units, and petroleum industries across India and abroad. The IP55/IP56 protection class enables outdoor or indoor operation within ambient temperatures up to 50C.
Q: What is the process for maintaining the pump?
A: Routine maintenance involves inspecting the mechanical seal or gland packing, lubricating the bearings, checking alignment, and monitoring for vibrations or unusual noises. The pumps easy-maintenance design facilitates quick servicing with minimal specialist tools.
Q: When should you use a mechanical seal versus gland packing?
A: A mechanical seal is ideal for applications requiring leak-proof operation and handling hazardous chemicals, while gland packing is suitable for less aggressive fluids or where regular maintenance checks are feasible. The pump is compatible with both sealing options.
Q: How does the pump handle varying fluid viscosity and temperature?
A: The pump is engineered for viscosities up to 300 cSt and fluids from -20C to 120C, making it suitable for a wide array of chemicals, acids, alkalis, and solvents used in industrial processes.
Q: What are the advantages of stainless steel shafts in this pump?
A: A Stainless Steel 316/304 shaft provides high resistance to corrosion and chemical attack, ensuring long-term service in harsh chemical environments and reducing maintenance requirements.
