 VS1 Type FG
Description
FG vertical pumps have been designed
for pumping fluids on heavy duty process.
Pump assembly has to be partially
submerged, so that pump does not need
priming before operation.
Drive unit is located on the surface,
completely accessible.
Applications
FG vertical pumps are suitable for any pumping
The pump is mainly composed of four
station that requires a vertical pump, preferably in:
different components: bowl assembly,
column, discharge head and drive unit. ➤ Refineries
