Portable pumps ideal for flood clean-ups
Wilo Salmson is launching the new Subson range of portable pumps, which are designed to offer an ideal solution for removing drainage water from flooded cellars, basin sumps or similar areas.
Pumps aimed at secondary hot water applications
The latest bronze circulating pumps from Wilo include the SB range, which is ideal for new and replacement work on secondary hot water applications.
Suitable for handling hot and cold water in heating systems or mechanical services applications, the new glanded pumps are extremely versatile, as well as being tough, durable and efficient.
With a cast-iron pump body, impeller and lantern, the BL, DL and IL pumps are equally suited for water supply and irrigation requirements, condenser water systems and a host of other water-based pumping duties.
The new pumps have been specially constructed to exceed typical pump performance expectations.
For instance, the new range features maintenance-free bidirectional mechanical seals, suitable for handling clean water at temperatures up to 140C and for water/glycol mixtures to a minimum temperature of -10C.
The new single-stage, low-pressure centrifugal pumps use a standard totally enclosed fan-ventilated IEC standard electric motor - with worldwide availability - and a pump body constructed for working up to a maximum pressure of 16bar.
These features ensure a long, hassle-free working life, with minimum maintenance requirements.
Mark Sowden, Marketing Manager at Wilo, explained the rationale behind the design of the new pumps.
"We've combined robust, cast-iron housings with an efficient centrifugal design and IEC motor.
The result is a series of cost-effective pumps that offer lower operating costs and reliable fluid transfer under a broad range of operating conditions.
With many of our customers focussing on life cycle costs we know that the increased efficiency that this new range offers will enhance still further our green credentials".
The Wilo-BL end-suction pump meets EN733 and features a cast-iron volute with end-suction and radial discharge ports.
Both the Wilo-IL and Wilo-DL are of inline design with the Wilo-DL featuring a flap valve to prevent recirculation within the pump housing.
