New force in dewatering from ITT Flygt
ITT Flygt have launched a new series of heavy-duty submersible dewatering pumps, which, they say, provides a new standard in dewatering pump technology. The 2600 Series has been designed to meet ever-increasing customer demands for economy and consistent performance over time. Comprising six models, the new range will replace the 11 models within the company’s existing Bibo range.
Simon Jones, Flygt’s product manager, commented: ‘The need to keep operations moving is a key driver for all operators. The 2600 pumps have been designed to do just that; with innovative Dura-Spin hydraulics, fewer components and an overall design that makes the whole range simple and quick to maintain. Commonality of spares also contributes to a low cost of ownership.’
The six pumps in the range utilize motor sizes from 1kW to 18kW, discharge sizes from 2in to 6in and output flows from 36m3/h to 324m3/h. As well as the Dura-Spin hydraulic system, the pumps also feature a one-piece Plug-in seal, a single trimming screw and the Spin-Out protection system.
The design of the impeller aims to prevent abrasive particles reaching the impeller neck, which increases durability during normal operation and snoring. The closed high-chrome cast iron impeller maximizes efficiency and minimizes wear. The Plug-in seal provides faster, simpler replacement and protects seal surfaces during disassembly and mounting.
A single trimming screw allows fast and easy impeller trimming for optimal performance sustained over time, while Spin-Out is designed to protect the outer seal and extend service life by expelling abrasive particles from the seal.
