Edition 04 : 01 January, 2002

Description of the Circulator propeller pumps

A range of low pressure medium volume propeller pumps made from die-pressed stainless steel aisi 304 or aisi 316 with capacities up to 24m3 per hour and heads up to 20m sold either as wet end alone; pump and motor; pump and motor with trolley mount.

The Circulator pumps feature :
*Low price
*High resistance to corrosion
*Smooth internal surfaces
*Light weight and limited dimensions
*Open impeller for solids in suspension
*Monoblock coupling
*Practically unlimited duration due to the low level of attrition
*Reduced maintenance
*Motors enclosed externally ventilated with IP55 protection suitable for continuous duty.
*Entirely from aisi 304 or aisi 316 die-pressed stainless steel.
*Mechanical seals with buna (NBR), Viton(R), or Teflon(R) rings.
*Temperature up to 100 degrees centigrade
*Maximum system pressure 5 bar.


Applications

Circulator pumps are for use with liquids compatible with the type of stainless steel and seal used, mainly as CIRCULATION PUMPS in low pressure industrial systems wherever liquids tend to get dirty, abrasive, slightly aggressive and with solids in suspension, and further:

ALIMENTARY LIQUIDS

Liquids not subject to damage by the propeller.
Liquids not requiring specialised sanitary units (For sanitary units refer to: MILKY WHEY PUMPS.)

PHARMACEUTICAL LIQUIDS

Wax, liquid soaps, creams, syrups, shampoos etc

LIQUIDS IN THE LIGHT CHEMICALS INDUSTRIES

Starch, water based glues, emulsions, glycerine, glycols, latex, animal and vegetable fats.

LIQUIDS FOR TEXTILES

Dyeing, washing, and printing

NAUTICAL

Cleaning of toilet systems

ACIDS AND SOLVENTS

Compatible with the stainless steel and the seals used, in particular for circulation and washing in the galvanisation and metallurgical industries generally.

INFLAMMABLE LIQUIDS

Subject to the use of explosion-proof motors


Do NOT use Circulator pumps for:

Liquids which are generally aggressive and dangerous to health and to persons animals and things in general such, BY WAY OF EXAMPLE, as chloric acid, hydrochloric acid in any concentration, silver chloride, hydrofluoric acid, muriatic acid, sulphuric acid, hydrobromic acis, molten antimony and aluminium, ammonia, sulphur chloride.

Motor specifications

Motors are NOT standard because of the special flange required to make the close coupling with the pump.
They are enclosed externally ventilated type with protection IP55 for continuous duty.
Explosion-proof three phase motors are available for all pump sizes. Special voltages and/or tropicalisation of motors are available on request, subject to the payment of an extra price.

Acoustic pressure (noise) in decibels

The maximum noise level with open inlet is 74.3 dBA
The maximum noise level under load is 70.5 dBA


Seals
