Pump components geometry, optimised through hydraulic, structural, thermal and dynamic F.E.M. analysis, lead to an high product reliability. Particularly to avoid seizures correlated to dangerous resonances, the F.E.M. dynamic analysis is carried out on all manufactured pumps taking into account the proper site operating conditions. 
Closed type impeller with front and rear wear rings as well as balancing holes, to minimise the axial thrust.
Large eye single suction or double suction 1st. stage impeller to meet low NPSH requirements.
Deep stuffing boxes, designed in accordance to API 682 Std., suitable to accept any type of mechanical or packing seal.
Labyrinths and deflectors at either bearing housing to maximise protection against dirt.
A wide range of sizes and material combinations complete the variety of the offered product.
