|
For customers whose needs fall into the lower pressure ranges, MTH is
proud to offer two lines of compact centrifugal pump products to complement
our higher pressure regenerative turbines. Towards this end, MTH has developed
the high quality, low cost 4”, 5”, and 6” C Series, semi-open
impeller, all stainless steel centrifugal pumps for the OEM market. These
units are cost competitive against stamped stainless steel centrifugal
pumps, but with a heavy duty cast impeller and casing design. Each pump
model is pre-trimmed and selected to provide the best pressure and capacity
for a given impeller and motor horsepower combination (up to 3HP and 100GPM).
Adjustment screws on the C Series casing take advantage of the semi-open
impeller design by providing the capability to occasionally renew pump
performance by tightening internal clearances and minimizing losses developed
from normal wear. These units also make use of our custom manufactured
D3 dual face motors found on our T31, E41, and E51 turbine pumps, and feature
a stainless steel shaft and a heavy duty front motor bearing. D3 Motors
also feature UL and CE approvals. The C Series standard construction is
investment cast 316 SS casings and impellers with Viton elastomers. Options
