MarelliFQX: Higher pressure performancies
FOX. isa vertical suspended double suction pump

column. FOX can reach until 415 m.
FOX family might be mounted with gland packing

Major improvements
Taking into account the design concept applied to Fa/FAX
serial production, the advantages are:
1. NPSH required by the pump. The double suction intake
permits better start up conditions and bigger tolerance
in the average running of the pump and also improving
the submergence conditions.
2. Simple design. Less number of moving parts increasing
the reliability thus bigger MTBF and MTBR. It also
decreases the life cycle cost of the machinery.
3. Better efficiencies. Less energy consumption (green

4. Smooth operation. The machine could be used in
pumping stations working to variable flow or variable
pressure with better precision and lower operation costs.
5. Compact Civil works. Due to the design typology.
