The SHV series are Centrifugal Vertical Pumps derived from Italian designs. Thanks to our worldwide  experience in different application fields, our pumps have achieved a high-quality performance level. The pump casing is constantly immersed in the pumped liquid, thus preventing the priming needs and minimizing the suction problems.

SHV pumps cover a wide range of applications in the chemical and process industries and are used to transfer clean or slightly dirty liquids, acid waters and various chemical products. The temperature limits for the standard execution are 100°C for water and 160°C for liquids with very low vapor pressure values.

Structural Features of Vertical Sump Centrifugal Pumps

• Standard shaft lengths vary from 1 to 5 m. The discharge flange is vertically set on the support plate and is connected to the pump by the discharge piping.
• Lubrication of the line bearings can be either through the pump discharge or by means of an external source. For specific applications, it is possible to have a forced grease lubrication by means of a positive displacement pump.
• Thrust ball bearing is grease lubricated as a standard, though a special execution with oil lubrication is also available.
• Line bearing materials are selected on the basis of the physical-chemical characteristics of the pumped fluid; hard rubber for waste waters and Teflon for corrosive fluids. Bronze line bearings are used in conjunction with grease lubrication.
• The standard sealing device is designed to use special lip seals. In this version, the fluid coming from the bearing flushing and from the internal recirculation is discharged through the holes on the shaft column.
• It is also possible to have either a stuffing box or, alternatively, single or double mechanical seal devices according to the specific requirements; in the last instance, the column is completely tight.
• The standard support plate has a rectangular shape; round support plate with dimensions according to client’s requirements can also be supplied.
