AMT # 5483-98 Stainless Steel Centrifugal Pump And Motor 1 HP

This AMT stainless steel straight centrifugal pump has a high-efficiency closed impeller and Viton (FKM, fluoroelastomer) mechanical seal and O-ring for resistance to corrosion and chemicals. PD pumps capture and release discrete amounts of flow into a chamber and then force it out. Some examples of PD pumps are fuel and oil pumps in cars, pumps in hydraulic systems, and bicycle pumps. Kinetic pumps move liquids, gases, or slurries by transferring energy from the pump's movement to the flow. They use an impeller to draw the flow in, add energy to the flow, and move it through a volute (a spiral funnel through which the flow moves), and into the system. Energy sources for all types of pumps include wind power, manual operation, electricity, and gasoline or diesel fuel. American Machine and Tool (AMT) manufactures centrifugal and diaphragm pumps. Closed impeller for use in continuous duty high volume transfer and recirculation applications Not self-priming, requires flooded suction 300 series cast stainless steel with Viton mechanical seal and O-ring for resistance to corrosion and chemicals Maximum operating temperature 200 degrees F
