SMD Axially Split Casing, Double Suction Pump

Applications

SMD single stage, double suction, axial split casing pumps are designed to meet the needs of the water market for a wide range of raw, clean, sea and brackish water applications:

• Water abstraction
• Water transport
• Desalination
• Water treatment
• Water supply and distribution
• Irrigation, drainage and flood control
• District cooling/heating

Suitable for drinking water applications. ACS, NSF 61 and WRAS certificates available upon request. To meet the demands of the individual applications, the SMD benefits from a best-in-class hydraulic design that is combined with two specific mechanical envelopes:

• Standard SMD, focused on municipal water treatment, supply and distribution where typically a higher level of standardization is required, allowing the most cost effective solutions and shortest lead times.
• Configured SMD combines standardization and modularization to offer a number of configurable options to meet the most common requirements of the water abstraction, transport and desalination industries.

Features and Benefits, Standard SMD

Double suction impeller

• With inherent hydraulic balance of axial thrust
• Exceptional efficiency over a wide range of flows
• Excellent Net Positive Suction Head Required (NPSHR) also in flow run out conditions

Double volute casing

• Radial load balancing
• Innovative cut-water design for minimum radial load pulses and reduced vibrations
• Self-draining
• Compact dimensions for reduced bearing span and improved shaft stiffness

360° bearing bracket ours

• 360° fixation for enhanced stiffness
• Greased for life, deep groove single ball bearings at both drive and non-drive ends

Easy maintenance

• Full dry-shaft design prevents rusting
• Single, balanced mechanical seal as standard shaft sealing
• Dowel pins for alignment of the casing halves
• Precision register fits, adjustment of rotor assembly in the casing is not needed
• Bearings, bearing nuts, bearing isolators mechanical seal, shaft seal sleeves are replaceable without removing the upper casing

Features and Benefits, Configured SMD

Heavy duty bearing design

• For higher power requirements, typically in large water transport applications
• With angular contact, double ball bearing at drive end and single radial ball bearing at the non-drive end
• Grease or oil lubricated bearings available

Shaft sealing

• Gland packing available as an option
• Other mechanical seal configurations available upon request

SMD Optional Features

Vertical arrangement

• With grease lubricated thrust bearing at the drive end and product lubricated proven design bearing at the non-drive end
• Interchangeable casing with the horizontal arrangement

Bearings

• Cooling fan in thrust bearing for heavy duty applications such as high speed, high ambient temperature, provides effective cooling without need of cooling water
• Connection for temperature and vibration monitoring instruments

Impeller wear ring

• Shrink fit and axially secured
• Offers additional impeller protection
• Reduced maintenance cost in heavy duty applications

Seal plan options

Plan 11 as standard, with seal plans 31 and 32, with cyclon separator or with external flushing source
