Pumps promise answer to dry running
The Argal Route range of seal-less magnetic driven chemical pumps can accommodate dry running when fitted with carbon HD bearing bushes.
Self priming pumps remove chemical spills
The Argal ZM-ZMA range of thermoplastic self priming pumps ensure that chemical spills can be pumped away with the minimum of fuss.
They are used in the chemical, food pharmaceutical and paper industry thanks to their efficiency and reliability.
When plant efficiency is a priority, low maintenance costs required and reliability a must, the choice of process pump is critical.
During the lifetime of a pump 5% of the cost is from the purchase, 65% from energy costs and 30% from installation and maintenance.
It's well known that pumps made of alloy steel have approximately 10% loss compared to cast iron.
The application of open micro-cast (lost-wax casting) impellers ensure that identical performance is achieved, which means, in other words, a considerable saving in energy costs.
Pumps that are most commonly used to convey liquids containing solids in suspension and dissolved gasses use vortex-type impellers but the very low yields entail extremely high operating costs that are not always justified The careful construction of the RG range features an adjustable end float, allowing the user to maintain the highest efficiency during the lifetime of pump and low NPSH values.
The simplicity of the pumps' construction and the great modularity of components require limited spare-parts stock and low working costs.
The pumps can be certified in accordance with the ATEX standard and are available long or close coupled, horizontal or vertical.
The pump family, which complies with ISO 24256 - ISO 2858, is manufactured in AISI 316 (CF8M) and offers a variety of sealing options complying to Din 24960.
Other materials such as Monel, Hastelloy and other alloys available on request.
Average delivery time is within 15 days and spare parts can be supplied in 24/72hr.
