Vertical pump VP series

centrifugal with volutewaterstationary

ANDRITZ vertical volute pumps with either a concrete, CVP series, or metal volute, VVP series, are manufactured and designed according to customers’ needs and requirements. These pumps can be used in application fields such as water transport, water supply, thermal power stations and desalination plants. ANDRITZ vertical volute pumps from the CVP and VVP series operate in a wide range of industrial applications. In the water sector, they function as water transport pumps for irrigation, drainage, and flood control as well as water supply pumps for drinking and industrial water suppliers. Additionally, they can be used as cooling water pumps for thermal power stations and as seawater intake pumps for desalination plants. Thus, these pumps can transport many different media. The pumps must have various properties, depending on the medium concerned. That is why the choice of material and suitable finishing are the determining factors for functioning and stability of the pump. Different materials are used depending on the service conditions and customer requirements: cast iron, cast steel, non-alloyed and low-alloyed steel grades, stainless CrNi steel grades, duplex and super duplex steel grades. Similarly, the hydraulic dimensioning and design of the volute casing depends on the specific output characteristics. Optimum flow is achieved in the volute thanks to its individual shaping, thus also achieving a high level of efficiency. The volute casing is manufactured as a concrete or metal volute.
