HGM – Ten good reasons for the right decision

Temporarily adverse operating conditions? No problem!
All bearings are pressurized to well above the vaporization pressure. So,

Superly smooth operation
These Pumps’ short overall length in combination with medium-lubricated bearings gives them excellent vibration behaviour, as evidenced by their smooth running. Closely spaced bearings give the shaft an extra measure of stability, thus preventing wear in the gaps during stops and starts.

even under untoward conditions, througflow is assured.

Axial intake + suction impeller = standard equipment
An axial intake combined with a suction impeller for extra-low NPSH values. These pumps can therefore handle low positive suction heads and, hence, also lower the cost of project management. Options include a 90° bend for radial intake and a weld-on flange for axial intake. This combination of time-tested structural members yields a whole new pump concept conducive to reliable engineering and, hence, reliable operation.

New – but still time-tested No auxiliary systems necessary
Nothing more is needed than a locally supplied balancing line – no other lines and no outlays for instrumentation, monitoring or interlocks.
