German pump manufacturer, Allweiler, part of CIRCOR International, will exhibit its redesigned vertical centrifugal pump solutions for ship engine rooms at the SMM trade fair in September.
SMM is the leading global trade fair of the maritime industry, which this year will take place between 4 – 7 September in Hamburg. Allweiler will exhibit its new compact MA-S and MA-C series, which are vertically installed centrifugal pumps with axial inlets and radial outlets.
The S version was designed for simple and rapid assembly and disassembly of the insert unit with impeller. The C version offers the same reliability with a significantly shorter installation height, so it's perfect for customers with severe space restrictions. Both versions use a new and patented foot design and have a footprint that is up to 23% smaller than its predecessor model. In this shorter, lighter version, the suction flange was redesigned with integrated fixing holes for pedestal mounting on the ship's foundation.
Allweiler will also use the SMM show to introduce the redesigned "sister series" MI-C and MI-S with an inline volute casing. The new products give shipbuilders an even greater range of pumps for moving freshwater, seawater, condensates, and oils. These pumps are used primarily as cooling water pumps or as fire-fighting, bilge and ballast pumps.
