Moving chemically aggressive or high-purity fluids across industrial production environments requires the specialized material resistance of the Lowara 5HM series. Constructed entirely from AISI 316 stainless steel, this unit isolates internal components from corrosive agents found in process supply loops. The horizontal orientation supports compact integration into existing skids or multi-unit pump stations, providing stable, vibration-dampened performance for continuous duty cycles.
Operational threshold limits are defined by a Max Head of 71.5 m alongside a Max Flow of 142 L/Min. Driven by a 1.77 kW motor, this system maintains hydraulic consistency under varying back-pressure scenarios. It delivers flow volumes suitable for medium-scale cooling or pressure boosting, maintaining efficiency targets while operating under a nominal current of 7.79 Amps.
Hydraulic energy conversion is governed by a precision-engineered closed impeller arrangement within the multistage casing. This design optimizes the velocity of the liquid as it traverses each stage, minimizing internal turbulence and reducing energy loss during high-pressure generation. The configuration ensures that even at extreme heads, the volumetric efficiency remains high, preventing premature wear on the internal sealing faces.
Housed within a TEFC motor enclosure, the electrical assembly is rated for IP 55 ingress protection, safeguarding the windings against moisture and particulate contamination in harsh environments. The suction and discharge ports utilize standard 32 mm and 25 mm threading for seamless integration into existing plumbing configurations. The mechanical shaft seal employs a Silicon Carbide/Carbon configuration to ensure long-term integrity against dry-run events and fluid leakage.
Features:
- TEFC motor enclosure with IP 55 environmental protection rating
- AISI 316 stainless steel wetted components for high corrosion resistance
- Silicon Carbide to Carbon mechanical seal configuration
- Compliant with ISO 9906:2012 Grade 3B hydraulic standards
- Certified for contact with potable water supplies
- Standardized 2-pole 2900 rpm motor speed for consistent flow
