Suction Assembly
Suction bell is furnished with an extra long bearing that strengthens and provides rigid support for the lower end of the pump shaft. Suction bell provides efficient flow into the eye of the first stage impeller.
Discharge Head
The rugged pump discharge head assembly is made of close-grained cast iron. It has smooth passageways that ensures efficient overall operation and provides an above ground connection to the discharge piping.
Bowl
The pump bowls have vanes cast integrally in them. These vanes are designed to match accurately with the impeller, and are smoothly contoured to guide the flow to next stage with maximum efficiency.
Impeller
Impellers are enclosed type, made of bronze / SS 304 and matched to the pump bowls. Each impeller is statically / dynamically balanced as per ISO 1940-1 to insure highest efficiency and vibration free operation.
Column
Pump column pipe shall be in sections not longer than 10 ft each. Column pipe is flanged type. Flanged connections are accurately machined to accept bearing retainers and are bolted together securely for proper sealing.
Shaft Seal
The shaft sealing is gland packing type. A lantern ring is furnished between the packing and it relieves pump pressure from the upper packing rings by bypassing the high pressure water through its relief ports.
