When plant efficiency is a priority, low maintenance costs required and reliability a must, the choice of process pump is critical.

During the lifetime of a pump 5% of the cost is from the purchase, 65% from energy costs and 30% from installation and maintenance.

Its well known that pumps in alloy steel have approximately 10% loss compared to cast iron. The application of open micro-cast (Lost-wax casting) impellers ensure that identical performance is achieved, which means, in other words, a considerable saving in energy costs.

Pumps that are most commonly used to convey liquids containing solids in suspension and dissolved gasses use vortex-type impellers but the very low yields entail extremely high operating costs that are not always justified

The Pump Company has overcome this problem by using the range of Process Pumps from Salvatore Robuschi; the application of open impellers with a wearing plate allow you to reduce by 30% consumption thus enabling the recovery of your investment after only a few months.
