Vertical Multistage Pumps

Vertical multistage high-pressure centrifugal pumps with a ring-section design. Suction and discharge nozzles of the same nominal diameter are arranged opposite each other (in-line). Pump and motor are close-coupled in a monoblock unit, supplied as standard with an IE3 efficiency class motor.
Thanks to their vertical shaft and in-line layout, these pumps take up little floor space and deliver efficient performance wherever high pressure is needed — from booster and pressurisation systems to irrigation, washing plants and industrial process lines. Cast iron and stainless steel casing options cover a wide range of fluids, from clean water to aggressive media.

- General irrigation systems
- Washing plants
- Fire-fighting systems

How to Choose
- Determine the flow rateThe total water demand at peak use (m³/h) determines the pump series and impeller size.
- Calculate the headAdd static height, pipe friction losses and the required outlet pressure; the result sets the number of stages of the vertical pump.
- Define the fluid and temperatureClean water, hot water or chemical-laden fluid; the operating temperature between -20 °C and +140 °C affects mechanical seal selection.
- Select material and motorCast iron or stainless steel casing depending on the fluid; an IE3 motor or a frequency-controlled high-efficiency motor for energy savings.
