In applications involving the presence of solids or crystallising fluids, such as brine pulps, pumps built under the ANSI standard offer several advantages over ISO standard pumps. Here's a breakdown of these benefits:
Semi-Open Impellers: ANSI pumps feature semi-open impellers that reduce downtime due to brine encrustations on the impeller. This is in contrast to most ISO pumps which typically have closed impellers.
Thick Casing: The substantial thickness of the ANSI pump casing provides enhanced resistance to abrasion, corrosion and high pressures.
Double-Row Bearings (Motor Side): Double-row bearings on the motor side ensure greater resistance to axial and radial loads.
Back Vanes and Balancing Holes in Impellers: The presence of back vanes and balancing holes in the impellers leads to lower axial and radial loads, thereby improving the pump's lifespan.
Larger Diameter Bearings: ANSI pumps are equipped with larger diameter bearings suitable for high-demand applications.
High Structural Robustness: The high structural robustness of ANSI pumps ensures an excellent lifespan, particularly in demanding industries such as Mining, Oil & Gas and various industrial processes.
