Reduced consumption and easy maintenance: new Rovatti pump series

October - November 2014 | Back

Among the leading new products Rovatti Pompe in Fabbrico, near Reggio Emilia, is presenting at EIMA International is the manufacturer’s FNSF series of flanged SAE high yield pumps with technical features and dimensions exceeding the EN733 norm. Designed for the contemporary optimization of hydraulic yield and suction capacity – two parameters usually in inverse proportion to each other – the FNSFs are horizontal pumps with axial inlet and scroll outlet perpendicular to the axis of rotation. As a communique issued by the company reported, the new range was developed for the purpose of curbing energy consumption and improving accessibility to the mechanical parts, especially for maintenance with a strongly facilitated procedure for dismantling. The design characteristics applied by the Fabbrico manufacturer for their FNSF series also respond to the need to limit thrust generated during the operation of the pump in order to prolong the lifespan of the support bearings. The success of the Rovatti range also rests on the reliability and durability of these pumps, ensured by impellers in microcasted stainless steel or carbon steel and by oversize bearings. Yet another strong point of the FNSFs is that these pumps can be coupled directly to thermal engines and flywheel to meet SAE standards. This means that the new components are compatible with an extremely wide and differentiated range of applications. The Rovatti communique explained, “Other than improving the management of water resources and lowering the impact on the environment, the FNSE series provides a substantial reduction in costs and maintenance time. There are important benefits for the manager as well as the end-user with a return on the investment already beginning with the first years of use of the pump.”
