TYPE TE
Housing and impeller material: Stainless steel ANSI 316Ti (1.4571)
Elastomers: PTFE
The TE series is for those applications, in which a non-metallic pump cannot be used or is not desired, e.g. for temperatures up to 150°C. It features a massive vertical shaft extension that directly drives the impeller. The rotating shaft runs completely contact- and abrasion-free inside the housing (“cantilever” design). This design concept eliminates the need for shaft seals and additional bearings. Optionally, the TE series can be ordered with a shaft seal as a vapour barrier.
Advantages:
- Absolutely dry run safe because of contact-free shaft and impeller rotation
- No abrasion into the fluid, therefore well suited for high-purity applications
- Suited for high temperatures
- Maintenance-free operation as no wearing parts such as slide bearings or mechanical seals
Solid particles up to 3 mm in size and 10% volume are allowed. The maximum viscosity is 150 mPas, the maximum allowed temperature is 150°C.
