Annovi Reverberi will train the spotlights in their stand at Agritechnica on their premiere LFP Series of high performance pumps. A communique issued by the manufacturer reported that the components for their new line were especially designed for open field irrigation machinery and operations with aggressive fertilization, plant treatment and herbicide products with a low pressure regime. In fact, the real strong point of this range of pumps is the use of such materials of reinforced nylon and AISI 316 stainless steel for parts coming into contact with the liquids, Viton™ synthetic rubber for O-rings and seals and especially Blueflex for diaphragms, carrying the manufacturer’s trademark, as standard equipment across the LPF range. These components ensure great resistance against mechanical stress, abrasions and corrosion resulting from such chemical products as acids, bases, alkoxide aldehydes, ketones, detergents and salt water. Outstanding in the LFP range are the AR 245 LFP and the AR 275 LFP models. The first of these two low pressure three diaphragm pumps has a capacity of 240.8 l/min at maximum pressure of 15 bar and the capacity of the second is 271.5 l/min again at maximum pressure of 15 bar. The AR 245 LFP and AR 275 LFP pumps are available in versions with a cardan shaft and a threaded female locking cylinder for direct mounting on the hydraulic cylinder. Also the AR 160 LFP and AR 185 LFP models are available with a cardan shaft and a threaded female locking cylinder for direct mounting on the hydraulic cylinder. The distinguishing features of the AR 160 LFP are a 166.2 l/min capacity at top pressione of 15 bar whereas the AR 185 LP works at maximum pressure of 15 bar for a capacity of 182.1 l/min. These models, with reduced maintenance, are available with a kit for coupling two pumps to create a modular group for irrigation for more demanding operations.
