Usage Areas:
- Machine Tools: Cast iron pumps are used in machine tools, especially in grinding operations, to pump cooling and lubrication fluids. This extends tool life and provides more precise and smoother machining.
- Other Machining Applications: They can also be used for pumping cooling and lubrication fluids in other machining applications such as cutting, turning, milling, and drilling.
- Filtration Systems: Cast iron pumps can be used in filtration systems to pump fluids used in the filtration process, making the process faster and more efficient.
- Circulation Systems: Cast iron pumps ensure continuous circulation of fluids in the system, facilitating more effective heat transfer and cooling processes.
Suitable Fluids:
Cast iron pumps can pump a wide range of fluids:
- Cooling fluids
- Cutting oils
- Grinding oils
- Water
Properties of Pumped Fluids:
- The fluid temperature should be between 0°C and 80°C.
- The kinematic viscosity should be between 1 and 90 mm²/s.
- Fluids may contain solid particles up to 8 mm in diameter.
Materials:
Cast iron pumps are manufactured from high-quality materials to ensure long-lasting and durable performance:
- Pump body and volute: Cast iron (DIN GG 25)
- Impeller: Precision cast steel (AISI 4140 - DIN 42CrMo4)
- Pump shaft: Manufactured steel (AISI 1040 - DIN C35)
Electric Motor:
Cast iron pumps operate with 3-phase asynchronous motors and have an IP 55 protection rating, making them resistant to challenging working conditions.
Other Key Features of Cast Iron Pumps:
- Easy installation and maintenance
- Wide performance range
