Product Overview
Constructed for fixed foundation mounting in mechanical rooms, the NB 40-315/318 single-stage end-suction pump connects via DN 65 suction and DN 40 discharge ports. A 37 kW electric motor provides mechanical power for continuous water circulation across building service headers.
Fluid output parameters show a rated throughput of approx. 868 L/Min and a maximum head limit of approx. 100.1 m. Electrocoating treatment on the cast iron casing limits rust in hydronic loops. The internal rotor holds a stainless steel impeller with bronze wear rings. Unit physical weight is 330 kg.
Operating on a 415 V three-phase power supply, the NB 40-315/318 electric motor yields 37 kW output power with a current draw of 68.1 Amps. Media temperature capabilities span from -25°C to 120°C under continuous line pressures up to 16 bar. Flanged ports feature DN 65 suction and DN 40 discharge sizing.
Winding insulation on the NB 40-315/318 motor complies with Class F standards within an IP55 dust and spray resistant motor housing equipped with PTC thermistors. Service procedures benefit from back-pull-out construction, permitting internal rotor disassembly without disconnecting main system pipework headers.
Features
- All stainless steel shaft construction provides improved corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives in wetted service areas.
- Mechanical shaft seal can be replaced without removing the impeller, system piping, pump volute casing or drive motor from the installation.
- Housing, impeller and wear ring use dissimilar material pairings to prevent galling and ensure no sticking elements during extended standby periods.
- High-efficiency motor selection is configured to match the specific power supply characteristics, pumping environment and liquid properties of each installation.
- Back pull-out design allows complete rotating assembly removal including motor, coupling and impeller without disturbing pump housing or connected pipework.
- EN733 and ISO2858 dimensional compliance ensures interchangeability with other standard end-suction pumps across commercial and industrial installations.
- ATEX Zone 1, 2, 21 or 22 certification available for operation in potentially explosive atmospheres (except E-model variants).
