SERIES AMC - AMS
SELF PRIMING CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS SERIES AMC - AMS

The self-priming pumps from the series "AMC" and "AMS" were produced to be used in the most inconvenient conditions, which require the pumping of water with solids in suspension, such as: muds, silts, bentonites, abrasive materials and sewage water. They are available with suction and outlet ports of 60-3” to 450 mm-18” diameter, and with a flow rate from 60 to 40.000 liters/minute. Their particular construction makes them universal for civil, industrial, building sites and rapid intervention working conditions where pumping and displacement of water is necessary.

The particular shape of the open rotor allows the passage of the solids, while the wearing plate assembled in the pump cylinder prevents its wear.

In the standard version, the wearing plate, the rotor and the pump cylinder are moulded of high-strength mechanical engineering cast iron, while in special realization it is possible to mould on request metals such as treated aluminium, bronze marine, stainless steel etc. The mechanical joint is of widia-widia type, completely maintenance free, and is assembled directly on the pump shaft, this latter being made of carbon steel in standard version, while in special realization the pump shaft is made of stainless steel. The coupling can be carried out by direct flanging to the bell covering the motor’s flywheel from the series AMC, or by means of a cast iron support which contains the pump shaft supported by two oil-lubricated bearings. In this last case, the coupling is carried out by means of an elastic joint series AMS.

The assembly is carried out on strong metal supports, available with or without pneumatic wheels, balanced sling for lifting and lever for displacements. For diesel or petrol versions, the tanks are built to guarantee an 8 hour minimal range at maximum loads.

The coupling can be carried out with an electrical, diesel or petrol motor, and, moreover, sound-insulating cabins for decreasing noise level can be provided on request for the endothermic motors for special series.
