When considering pump systems, it is often the case that splitting into a cascade of small designs is more flexible and more energy-efficient than a single high performance pump. This is especially true against the background that modularisation in the process industry is an important development trend and, depending on the configuration, requires different pumping capacities.
However, there is also the opposite development: Conventional mono systems that are still required for commodities only pay off when they reach a certain size. And correspondingly high-performance pumps are required in these large-scale engineering projects, in the primary processes (reactant and product transport) as well as in secondary processes (cooling, rinsing processes).
Of great importance for the efficiency of these pumps: All versions have a highly efficient drive and can be equipped with an integrated speed control via a frequency converter (CRE). Again, the operator has the choice: Both the classic MGE asynchronous motor (up to 22 kW – energy efficiency class IE3) and the MGE permanent magnet synchronous motor (up to 11 kW – energy efficiency class IE5) have the frequency converter integrated in the motor. For higher outputs, the company offers the CUE solution with an external frequency converter in the control cabinet – optionally available with IE5 motors. Each of these solutions increases the life of the pump and saves energy as the boosting requirement changes.
With 16 sizes (flow range between 0.3 and 355 m³/), four material versions (cast iron, two corrosion-resistant stainless steel grades, titanium) and a range of different connection and equipment variants, the operator has the most diverse and comprehensive range of pumps available on the market. The possibilities for customising have no limits. Also available are 50 and 60 Hertz IEC motors as weel as 60 Hertz Nema motors.
The modular design makes further customising possible. This specifically means that the pumps can be individually equipped with fewer accessories/components on request; what the customer does not need is eliminated — this reduces the complexity.
