The Frame A and LD17 Centrifugal Pumps are pioneering process pumps with the built-in technology to get the most from seal and bearing life. Designed around the seal where 90% of pump failures occur, these centrifugal pumps have a stiffer, heavy-duty shaft and larger bearings resulting in the widest operational window off the Best Efficiency Point (BEP) than any standard process pump. These pumps come in 11 different sizes, meaning they are applicable for a wide range of fit scenarios and application needs.
The Frame A/LD17 has the stiffest shaft in the industry, which dramatically reduces seal and shaft failures. The Frame A/LD17 reaches flow capacities of 1,400 gpm (320 m3/hr) and is available in IPP metric construction.
