SPEAK TO US TODAY +27 31 701 52 55

Salvatore Robuschi TS pumps are multistage centrifugal pumps with closed impeller available with mechanical seal or gland packing packing. These pumps are available with a mounting flange or on a base, as well as in various configurations of the suction nozzle position relative to the discharge nozzle – left and right or top. Cooling chambers are supplied as standard equipment. Pumps of this series are characterized by easy disassembly, which helps reduce the amount of downtime required.

The TS series is designed to work in various applications and industries. It can pump clean or slightly contaminated liquids. It is used for powering boilers, fire-fighting installations, autoclaves, water supply systems, irrigation, car washes, for pumping hydrocarbons and wherever high pressure is required.

Operation principle

Operating principle of centrifugal pumps.The two main parts of a centrifugal pump are the impeller with blades (impeller) and the pump housing (casing). In the most common type – the centrifugal pump with a volute casing – the liquid enters the pump near the center of the high-speed rotating impeller. The liquid on the suction side moves along the axis of the impeller and due to the centrifugal force generated by the blades, it is thrown radially into the chamber in the casing. The casing gradually expands in a spiral manner towards the discharge nozzle, which reduces the velocity of the liquid and thus increases the pressure (diffuser effect). At the same time, as the liquid is thrown radially by the impeller due to centrifugal force, the pressure in the center of the impeller drops, enhancing the effect of drawing liquid into the pump, which enables a continuous liquid transfer process.

The impeller of a centrifugal pump is driven by a motor (most often electric) via a shaft. The pump head, along with the coupling and motor, constitutes the pump unit. In centrifugal pumps, gears are not used, and the rotational speed of the motor is transmitted directly. Most commonly, two- and four-pole motors are used (rotational speeds of approximately 2900 and 1450 rpm, respectively), and less frequently, six- and eight-pole motors are used (approximately 900 and 700 rpm).

A very important element of the pump is the seal at the point where the drive shaft enters the body. This seal is designed to prevent the pumped liquid from leaking out of the pump, maintain pressure inside the pump, and prevent air from entering the pump. Among the seals for centrifugal pumps, we can distinguish gland packing packings, single mechanical seals, and double mechanical seals. We also distinguish a special type of pump – sealless (hermetic) pumps.

Types of seals
Single mechanical seal in Salvatore Robuschi centrifugal pumps. Single mechanical seal

The most popular mechanical seals for use with non-contaminated liquids (no solids). The pumped liquid lubricates the sealing surface and dissipates heat.

Packing seal in Salvatore Robuschi centrifugal pumps. packing seal

Packing seal is a special cord wound around the shaft separating the space between the pump body and the drive. It does not provide 100% tightness due to the need for continuous lubrication and cooling of the cords.
