Prochem - Model Maxflo WSE -High Efficiency Side Entry Impeller Pump
A high efficiency, advanced side-entering hydrofoil impeller that produces maximum pumping action. It has more cavitation resistance than other designs through effective hydrodynamic design.
Chemineer`s newest impeller for side entry applications offers greatly improved efficiency and unparalleled process performance.
Side entry agitators typically run faster and draw more power than their top entry counterparts. Chemineer has developed the MaxfloWSE specifically for side entry applications. Its advanced geometry results in decreased operational cost, lower investment costs and proved process performance. The Maxflo WSE impeller is the most efficient side entry impeller available.
More Efficient
More efficient means equipment can meet process requirements at lower power or with lower initial investment costs. It has been very difficult to find a new impeller that offers both lower equipment costs and lower power requirements. Both items are very important in today`s competitive environment; with the Maxflo WSE they are no longer mutually exclusive.
Depending on the impeller configuration, using the Maxflo WSE can lower power draw between 15% and 40% from existing impellers. This means smaller, less expensive equipment with savings averaging 20% - 30% over
machines using existing technology. Installed equipment can benefit from this technology with fast and easy retrofits of operating impellers.
MaxfloWSE Features
The Maxflo W Impeller offers many advantages in demanding services like pulp and paper and flue gas desulfur-ization (FGD). With the increasing energy costs, the lower power draw to accomplish the process requirements is very important, especially in side entry applications where the power draw can be significant. Lower tip speeds result in considerably lower abrasion rates. The lower abrasion rates can reduce or eliminate the need for costly coatings, elastomeric coverings or harder metals. Impeller diameters are available from 12" to 100". Standard materials of construction are carbon steel or 316/316L stainless steel. High alloys are available for severe environments.
