Self Priming Pumps SK, SM, S

Self-priming pumps are excellent, durable devices for pumping clean water for social and domestic purposes, among others. They have a strong, very durable construction, which makes them also used in industrial installations. The lifting height can reach 215m. Material executions include gray cast iron, ductile iron, bronze, cast steel. The pumps are equipped with string seals or mechanical seals.

The pumps come in a number of different types, characterized by different design and materials, so they can also be used for pumping liquids other than water. Durable construction simple to operate and service allows for many years of reliable operation of these devices.

Application of self-priming pumps:

  • pumping of clean water in waterworks (pumping stations, water treatment plants),
  • Increasing pressure in buildings,
  • Sprinkling, watering crops,
  • pumping water from individual water intakes,
  • rainwater utilization,
  • watering gardens,
  • car washes,
  • industrial purposes.

Suction condition:

Self-priming open impeller centrifugal pumps are used for pumping clean water and other liquids (within the range of corrosion resistance of materials used in the construction of the pump).

The self-priming pump is applicable if the water table in the well (tank) is no lower than 7m from the level of the pump foundation.

Technical specifications

  • Capacity Q: up to 40 m3/h
  • Delivery head H: up to 330 m
  • Pumped liquid temperature t: -40oC ÷ +180oC
