Split Casing Pumps

Split Casing Pumps: Flexible Design for Easy Maintenance and High-Volume Flows

Split casing pumps are a pump design where the casing has a joint that can be either perpendicular to the shaft (radially split) or along the length of the shaft (longitudinally split). This unique configuration offers enhanced accessibility and maintenance capabilities compared to traditional pump designs.

In the case of longitudinally split pumps, like the SDS double suction pump, the casing opens along the same direction as the shaft. This allows for very easy access to all internal components, simplifying inspection and service. The back-to-back impeller design and double volute of these pumps also enable them to achieve high-volume flow rates.

For radially split casing designs, such as the SNM and SNT pump types, the casing is split at the back of the pump, perpendicular to the shaft. This configuration enables a back pull-out design, where the pump internals can be removed after the rear casing has been detached, without disturbing the piping.

The flexible split casing design of these pumps offers several key benefits. It improves accessibility for maintenance and service, enhancing versatility and allowing the pump to be easily customised or upgraded. Additionally, the innovative impeller and casing configurations enable the handling of high-volume flows. Finally, the simplified installation and reduced downtime for servicing make split casing pumps a maintenance-friendly fluid handling solution.

By incorporating these design features, split casing pumps provide a versatile and maintenance-friendly fluid handling solution across a wide range of industrial applications, from water supply to oil and gas operations.
