Usage Areas:
- Machine Tools: IPA pumps are ideal for pumping foamy fluids generated during high-speed machining processes, especially grinding. This ensures uninterrupted cooling and lubrication, providing more precise and smoother machining.
- Tank Mixing: IPA pumps mix tank contents, preventing metal chips from settling at the bottom, allowing them to be suctioned and discharged. This keeps the tank clean and prevents pump blockages.
- Filtration Systems: IPA pumps can be used in filtration systems to pump metal chips within the fluid, making the filtration process faster and more efficient.
- Hot Fluid Pumping: IPA pumps can pump fluids with temperatures up to 80°C, enabling more effective heat transfer and cooling processes.
- Circulation Systems: IPA pumps ensure continuous circulation of cutting-cooling fluids in the system, facilitating more effective heat transfer and cooling.
Fluids:
IPA 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.
Performance Curve:
The performance curve on the product page shows the relationship between flow rate and head height for IPA pumps. By using this curve, you can determine how much head height the pump can generate for a specific flow rate or the flow rate it can provide for a given head height.
Materials:
IPA 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)
- Front impeller: Precision cast steel - AISI 4140 (DIN 42CrMo4)
