 FIBERGLASS VERTICAL SUMP PUMPS
EUROPEAN FIRST

Highly resistant to chemicals and corrosive agents, this special pump was designed to run into waste and contamina-
ted water treatments as well as into the heaviest applications.
The entire construction, made of Fiberglass, offers a very high resistance, great robustness and a large range of
ambient temperatures from -35°c to 40°c -, and working temperatures up to 100°C without damaging the mechani-
cal strength of the casing. The length of the submersible column varies from 0,5 m to 5 m (more length available on
request).

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE AND MECHANICAL STRENGTH

Argal offers various formulations of resins to cover a broad range of corrosive chemicals and moderately abrasive
liquids.
These SATURNSUMP are a valuable alternative to metal pumps as they are a perfect combination of chemical resistance,
mechanical strength, especially if operating in seawater applications (water and wastewater treatments, purification,
desalination) or aquarium, marine parks, industrial processes using corrosive liquids, and even in scrubbers for gas
effluents as well as other environmental processes.

 KGS pumps are centrifugal, vertical, with driven self-supporting pump shaft, single-stage with the volute casing and
column directly submerged in the liquid to be pumped, coupled to a non-synchronous electric motor via a flexible cou-
pling, with hydraulic connections to the axial inlet facing the bottom of the pump and radial outlet connected to a verti-
cal piping system. The vertical piping ends with hydraulic connections to the system turned upwards on the base plate.
The shaft guide bushings must be constantly kept wet with the liquid being pumped or with a clean liquid external
flushed.

V1A vinyl ester resin compound Abrasive liquids
brine, etc.
V1C vinyl ester resin compound Bleaches applications
V1A: for liquids with a low concentration of Fluoridric
V1F vinyl ester resin compound
applications
abrasion: fossil shell flour, ashes, titanium dioxide.
V1X vinyl ester with conductive
For Atex areas
resine liner
V1C: Perfect for resisting to bleach corrosive
liquids such as sodium hypochlorite (NaOCI) or
hydroxide peroxide (H2O2);

V1F: a specific solution made up with a synthetic

veil to ensure resistance to fluoride acid (HF) and
other liquids with fluorine.

V1X: a specific solution to operate into ATEX areas

with conductive resin liner.

VAPOUR SEALS
SATURNSUMP KGS are equipped with vapour
seal to block the diffusion of chemical vapours by
creating a counterpressure of 60mbar.

VR - standard seal “static-dynamic”.

VM - single or double mechanical seal (external

flushed)

FLUSHING
It is possible to add an external flushing pipe: the
connection starts from the guide bushings external
part with clean water when pumping dirty liquids.

KGS 3x2x6
made of V1X resin for ATEX Zones

STRAINER
Strainer It is also possible to add a strainer to block big
solids out of pump.
