Features and Benefits

A Wide Pump Range 60 Hz

We offers submersible pumps with energy- efficient duty
points ranging from 0.1 to 335 m3/h. The pump range
consists of many pump sizes - and each pump size is
available with an optional number of stages to match any

QF360
duty point.

High Pumps Efficiency

QF30
QF25
QF12
QF20
QF6
Often pump efficiency is a neglected factor compared to

QF5
the price however, the observant user will notice that

QF2
QF1.5
price variations are without importance to water supply
QF1
economics compared to the importance of pump and
motor efficiencies.
Example:
When pumping 125 m3/h with a head of 200m for a period
of 10 years $ 60,000 will be saved if a pumps and motors
having a 10% higher efficiency is chosen and the price is
$ 0.10 per kWh.

Applications
We offers a complete range of pumps and motors which
as a standard are made completely of stainless steel
AISI - 304. This provides for good wear resisrance and a
reduced risk of corrosion when pumping ordinary cold
water with a minor content of chloride.

Low Installation Costs

Stainless steel means low weight facilitating the handling
of pumps and resulting in low equipment costs and
reduced installation and service time. In addition pumps
will be as new after service due to the high wear
resistance of stainless steel.

Bearings with Sand Channels

CT 0401 0113003
All bearings are water-Lubricated and have a squared shape
enabling sand particles, If any, to leave the pump together
with the pumped liquid.

CT0401 3247003
Inlet Strainer
The inlet strainer prevents particles over a certain size form
entering the pump.

Non-Return Valve
All pumps are equipped with a reliable non-return valve in
the valve casing preventing back flow in connection with

CT0401 3242003
pump stoppage.
Furthermore , the short closing time of the non-return valve
means that the risk of destructive water hammer is reduced
to a minimum.
The valve casing is designed for optimum hydraulic
properties, to minimize the pressure loss across the valve NRV Flape
and thus contributes to the high efficiency of the pump.
Priming Screw
All QF and QF 30 pumps are fitted with a priming screw.
Consequently, dry running is prevented because the priming CT 0401 0242001

screw will make sure that pump bearings are always

lubricated.
Due to the semi-axial impellers of large QF pumps (except
for QF 30) this priming is automatically provided.
However, it applies to all pump types that if the water table is
lowered to a level below the pump inlet neither pump nor
motor will be protected against dry running.
Stop ring
The stop ring prevents damage to the pump during transport A
CT 0401 S2630002

and in case of up-thrust in connection with start - up.

The stop ring, which is designed as a thrust bearing limits
axial movements of the pump shaft. B
Example : QF 125
The stationary part of the stop ring (A) is secured in the top C
bowl (Upper intermediate chamber).
The rotating part (B) is fitted above the collet [split cone (C)].

NOTE :

BEARING
- Replaceable wear ring, bearing and neck ring for easy
maintenance.
- Sealed top bearing for high resistance against sand.
- Octagonal shape bearings with sand flush channels to
reduce abrasive wear.

CHECK VALVE & STRAINER

- Standard built-in stop ring to prevent upthrust damage during critical
start up and stopping phase.
- Capable to handle sand content from 50 to 150 mm on certain pump
size.
