DESCRIPTION

Azcue CA Pump & Spare Parts

Since their formation in 1910, Azcue Pumps have manufactured marine grade type approved pumps from their factory and onsite foundry in Zumaia, Spain. Previously operating under the name of Bombas Azcue, they have become a dominating force in the manufacture and supply of marine pumps for all vessel applications.

Their CA range of horizontal self-priming pumps can run dry for up to 30 minutes as they retain water in the casing for seal cooling due to their unique design. This series is available in a wide range of configurations, including bare shaft without motor, complete with clutch and pulley, close coupled to an electric motor, long coupled to an electric motor and complete with diesel engine. The largest models within the range can produce high flow rates up to 300m³/hr and pressures up to 10.5 bar.

With their onsite foundry, Azcue have the flexibility produce their CA series range of self-priming pumps in various materials to suit a wide range of marine vessel applications, including cast iron, ductile iron, bronze, aluminium bronze, stainless steel 304/316 and duplex stainless steel. By adhering to type approved standards from classification bodies such as Lloyds, DNV, Bureau Veritas and ABS, these pumps are interchangeable with current installed pumps or can be specified for new applications involving sea water, fresh water, dirty/grey water and low viscosity fuel oils such as the below:

· Ballast transfer and ballast water treatment systems

· Sea water general service

· Fire fighting

· Bilge water transfer

· Deck washing

· Sea water/Fresh water cooling

· Aquaculture

· Grey water transfer

· Fuel transfer, including marine diesel.

· Sea water injection

Special versions with high temperature seals and Atex versions for flammable fluids/environments can be manufactured on request. By installing a semi-open style impeller, water containing small amounts of non-abrasive solids up to 10mm can be handled.

FAQS

What spare parts do you supply?

We supply all parts associated with the Azcue CA series of self-priming centrifugal pumps, these include; impellers, diffusers, shafts, mechanical seals, casings, o-rings and gaskets. Any parts labelled on the drawing and parts list are available for purchase.

How do I identify what spare parts I need for my pump?

The pump needs to be disassembled and inspected as part of a maintenance program to correctly identify any damaged parts. The drawing and parts list then need to be viewed to find the correct part description and position number.

What information do you require to provide a quotation for spare parts?

The basic information required to obtain a quotation includes; the pump model number, serial number if available, description or name of the part and the position number of the part if available. This information allows us to correctly identify the parts required and to identify the correct materials. The serial number is a 6 digit number, beginning with either 1, 2, 3 or 4 depending on the age of the pump.

My pump needs to be repaired frequently, is there something wrong?

Premature pump failure can be an indication of system problems or incorrect pump selection. Common causes of premature pump failure include; incompatibility of the pump materials with the fluid, incorrect pipework size, incorrect type of pump and incorrect size of pump. We can help identify the cause of your pump failure if you provide the following information; description of the application, fluid being pumped, viscosity, temperature, flow rate required, pressure required, inlet conditions and bore of pipework.

Should I purchase spare parts and repair my pump or purchase a complete new pump?

This depends on several factors; how frequently are spare parts required? how long has the pump been in operation? and the price of the required spare parts versus the cost of a complete new pump. For example, if a new casing, impeller, shaft and mechanical seal are required, then it is more cost effective to purchase a complete new pump as a large proportion of the high value parts are required. If the pump is wearing frequently and prematurely, then this may be an indication that the wrong type or size of pump is installed. It is a good idea to talk to us in this situation as we may be able to identify the issue with your pump or system and select a more suitable pump for your requirements.

Are the position numbers of the spare parts the actual part codes?

No, the position numbers of the spare parts from the drawings are generic codes consistent across all pump ranges. For example, 4200 is the code for mechanical seal and 4610 is the code for o-rings. This is to make it simple for customers when requesting quotations for spare parts, the full part code is obtained once the goods have been shipped.

My CA series self-priming pump is having difficulty priming and achieving the required duty, do you know why?

Check the inlet conditions for the pump to ensure the pipework is the correct size and that the suction height/distance is not too long. Also check for any air leaks or blockages in the pipework. Another common cause of priming difficulties is the incorrect installation of a non-return valve on the discharge. A non-return valve on the discharge pipework will make priming difficult for the CA series and therefore the valve must be removed if one has been installed.
