Model CUP-FK -Multistage Pump
ClydeUnion Pumps has vast experience, over 70 years, of supplying large high speed multistage pumps. Our extensive engineering, manufacturing and operational experience has been incorporated in the design of the CUP-FK, a radially split, barrel case, multistage diffuser pump designed for high pressure, high temperature and high speed applications. A world leading product with features such as optimum hydraulic design, sustainable efficiency, full cartridge withdrawal, and the inherent ability to withstand thermal shock, the CUP-FK range pump offers reliable operation and low through life cost of ownership. The CUP-FK range has been designed to produce an advanced pump with reduced whole life costs. All the pump internals can be withdrawn quickly without disturbing pump alignment or pipework. This helps in saving time and making maintenance straightforward.
