Feed Pump FAQ Section
What maintenance does a Feed Pump require?
Regular maintenance includes monthly bearing lubrication (for models with grease-lubricated bearings), quarterly seal inspections, and annual alignment checks. For pumps handling abrasive fluids, wear ring inspections should be conducted every 3-6 months depending on operating hours.
How do I select the right Feed Pump for my application?
Consider these key factors: required flow rate (m³/h), system pressure (bar), fluid characteristics (viscosity, temperature, abrasiveness), and material compatibility. For corrosive fluids, stainless steel or duplex models are recommended. Always consult our engineering team for specific application analysis.

Feed Pump FAQ Section
What is the expected lifespan of a Feed Pump?
With proper maintenance, our standard models typically operate for 7-12 years in continuous service. Critical components like impellers and wear rings may require replacement every 3-5 years depending on operating conditions. Heavy-duty models with upgraded materials can exceed 15 years service life.
Installation Guidelines
| Requirement | Specification |
|---|---|
| Foundation | Rigid, leveled concrete base 3x pump weight |
| Piping | Independent support required (no pump load) |
| Alignment | 0.05mm maximum radial misalignment |
| Priming | Required for suction lifts >5m |
Feed Pump FAQ Section
Can Feed Pumps handle viscous fluids?
Yes, with proper configuration. For fluids above 500 cSt viscosity, we recommend larger shaft diameters, reduced speed operation (40-70% of standard RPM), and possibly heating jackets. Specialized designs with open or semi-open impellers perform better with viscous media than standard closed impeller configurations.
Performance Curves
- NPSHr values below 5m for most standard models
- Best efficiency point (BEP) clearly marked on all curves
- Multiple speed options available
- Custom impeller trimming services
