APP Pump Hydraulic Design

Quick and Easy Installation Concept

The rigid, distortion-free, hot-dip galvanized baseplate is easy to install and grout into the concrete foundation. With various installation options, the pump helps minimize the  life-cycle costs.

1.The optimized frame size and standardization reduces concrete needs up to 30 %. The resulting strong, rigid foundation significantly dampens vibration, reducing wear and tear and extending the lifetime of the pumps, seals and motors.

2.Galvanized riser blocks allow the installation of the next frame size of motor.

3.Alignment blocks of stainless steel permit fast and easy motor movement when aligning the coupling. Alternative foundation bolt designs are welded, grouted and chemical anchors. The standard fabricated steel baseplate can be installed directly on the floor as free-standing baseplate on machine feet or on a rubber sheet. No grouting at site is needed. The baseplate provides reinforcement in the advanced grouted concrete design. The construction is designed to pass the pipe loads through the fabricated steel baseplate to the base.

Designed for Safe Operation, and Easy Maintenance and Service

4.Guards for the rotating parts are designed according to stringent safety regulations. 

5.Windows on both sides of the guards allow for safe and easy stroboscope inspection of the coupling during operation.

6.Various flexible coupling with spacer for quick service. 

7.Back pull-out design facilitates fast and easy access for servicing.

8.Jackscrews for simple disassembly of main parts of the pump. 

9.Classic ISO, API standard base plate for applications where standard installation is required.
