This cantilever pump is designed for solids-containing media
Rheinhütte Pumpen
The RCEV vertical cantilever pump (photo) is designed without a base bearing and has a free-flying shaft, making it suitable for conveying liquids containing solids from containers or open sumps. The double volute casing ensures that radial forces are kept to a minimum, says the manufacturer. The RCEV pump can be equipped with an open or closed impeller with front and back blades, depending on the application. The open impeller is frequently recommended in the case of heavily contaminated media containing solids, as closed impellers may become clogged. The pump is also protected against dry running, due to the raised mounting without a bearing in the conveyed material. Hall 8.0, Stand A24 — Rheinhütte Pumpen GmbH, Wiesbaden, Germany
