SMF vertical submersible pump line

Designed to exceed the highest standards of reliability, the SMF is built to handle large
quantities of water. It offers a wide range of optimized hydraulic coverage with a reduced
number of basic designs to suit any customer requirement, ensuring the best energy
performance on the market. This results in savings in total life-cycle costs and reduced
environmental footprint.

The SMF is available in two standard material versions: cast iron and ductile iron, but
other materials are available on request. It is also equipped with a premium efficiency
submersible dry motor, which is cooled with the same pumped liquid.

SHS Solids Handling pump line

Submersible pump with a single impeller, non-clog suction design and single
volute case. The SHS does not need any extra device to adapt to existing
discharge elbows, making it the best choice for solids handling application in
different industries.

These pumps are capable of pumping liquids with solids from 3” to 6” in

diameter. Applications include water, wastewater, sewage, pulp and paper,
mining, and many other industrial and municipal applications, in either single or
parallel operation.

NE Submersible Non Clog Pump

The NE is a single stage, single suction pump with overhung non-clogging impeller
designed for pumping municipal and industrial wastewater, sewage, effluent, and
liquids containing solids and fibers.

Its outstanding solids handling capability, guarantee maximum operating time

and substantial reductions in maintenance cost caused by pump jamming or
clogging. It is designed for continuous pumping under the most difficult operating
conditions.
