The end-suction volute design connects directly to suction line headers and concrete foundation bases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt nominal operational speed, hydraulic output provides 3198 L\/Min flow throughput alongside a maximum head limit of 25.06 m. Structural construction incorporates an EN-GJL-250 cast iron body with cataphoresis surface finish. Internal components feature a stainless steel impeller and BQQE seal. Total net weight stands at 179 kg.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe NB 80-160\/161 electric motor operates on a 415 V three-phase supply drawing 35.3 Amps rated current at 18.5 kW output power. Fluid handling parameters accommodate liquid temperatures between -25°C to 120°C up to 16 bar system pressure. Line connection uses opposite DN 100 inlet and DN 80 outlet flanged ports.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnclosure protection on the NB 80-160\/161 model meets IP55 standards while motor windings feature Class F insulation and PTC thermistor protection relays. Maintenance technicians can extract the drive unit using back-pull-out access without removing the cast iron volute casing from connected plant room piping manifolds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCataphoretic electrocoating on cast iron internal surfaces provides barrier protection against oxidative corrosion in hydronic circulation loops.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClose-coupled configuration eliminates coupling alignment procedures and reduces overall installation footprint compared to long-coupled alternatives.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBall bearing support arrangement accommodates both radial and axial thrust loads generated during continuous duty operation at rated speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePN16 flanged connection ratings on sizes up to and including DN 150 provide elevated working pressure capability beyond standard EN733 10 bar ratings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eO-ring seal between pump housing and cover eliminates leakage risk at the volute-to-cover joint under sustained operating pressures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOptimised impeller and volute hydraulics deliver unimpeded liquid flow through the pump casing, reducing internal turbulence losses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll stainless steel shaft construction provides improved corrosion resistance compared to carbon steel alternatives in wetted service areas.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIMPORTANT:\u003c\/strong\u003eBulk freight charges apply.
