Product Design

The design of the delivery head ensure the best resistance to the working pressure and is
designed to protect the pump from accidental water hammer

The top head is equipped by two hooks for a

sure connection of the pump to the safety
rope
In addition to prevent any unlock from the
Max pressure
delivery pipe, the head is equipped by one
70 bar lock screw

The non return valve discharge the pressure on

the new design delivery head

Stages are not under

pressure stress

Product Design

The bowl is made in one single piece in order to have the best
mechanical resistance to the pressure and the corrosion
 Product Design

Force
generated
by the flow

Up thrust
washer
made of
PTFE

The up thrust bearing prevent any damage in the pump

due to the up movement of the impeller in the starting
phase
New Z6 product design

The tungsten carbide bearings ensure the

best shaft alignment in every working
condition

The number of TC bearings are related to the pump length

Product Design

The bowls structure is designed to have a double

thickness where the particles in the water have the
maximum speed and wear action.
Product Design

The wear ring is designed to adjust the position and

maintain a constant clearance between the impeller
and the diffuser
Product Design

The impeller wear ring is easily removable and

ensures a lower cost of maintenance in case of
abrasion
New Z6 product design

The assembling of the pump using the SS spacers ensure

the impellers are always in the correct position and
protects the shaft from abrasion generated by the sand
