Grundfos Pumps India Pvt Ltd, a 100% subsidiary of Grundfos - Denmark, has introduced full range of new stainless steel end suction [NB/NK] pumps. Now, a full range of ISO-certified stainless steel variants makes the end-suction programme attractive to an even broader audience. Especially the process industry will benefit from the extended range - as well the Automotive and pharmaceutical industries.

The stainless steel NB/NK pumps are designed and built for industrial applications and come with a variety of carefully considered technical features. Dedicated single, tandem or back-to-back shaft seal arrangements are available to accommodate the specific nature of whatever liquid that run through the pipes and to ensure leak-free and safe pumping of even hazardous or explosive liquids. Moreover, loose flanges that greatly facilitate installation and are now standard on all the bigger pumps.

Grundfos pumps are known for its easy service and maintainability. For this new range of NB/NK pumps too, much effort has been put into reducing Service and maintenance hassles of conventional pumps. The option of Heavy duty bearing bracket make a significant difference to this new range of products. Equipped with dispensers that automatically dose the exact amount of grease during operation, the heavy-duty grease bracket is virtually maintenance-free and can be left unattended for up to a year. Both the heavy-duty grease bracket and the heavy-duty oil alternative meet the challenges of high inlet pressure and guarantee a minimum of 100,000 operating hours. (Standard NB/NK SS pumps have standard bearing bracket that offer a minimum of 17,500 hours of trouble-free operation). The heavy-duty oil variant is ideal also for high temperatures.

Handling demanding liquid is a Grundfos speciality and with the introduction of NB/NK stainless steel end-suction pumps to the product range, even the most demanding liquids can be handled satisfactorily with best efficiency and high reliability with hardly any risk of corrosion. The range handles liquid temperatures between -25?C and 160?C and offers high-pressure pumping up to 25 bar. The pumps come with a choice of two stainless steel grades: EN 1.4408 and high grade Duplex EN 1.4517, to ensure that exact media requirements can be accommodated.

NKG/NBG/NK/NB end-suction pumps can be equipped with motors that carry the Grundfos Blueflux? label. The label guarantees that the motor either meets or exceeds - international legislative requirements, including the EuP IE3 grade. Blueflux is Grundfos' own label for high efficiency motor technology - a technology that has been designed specifically for pumps and represents the very best from Grundfos within energy-efficient motor and frequency drive operation.
