DESCRIPTION

Azcue SP & MO Pump & Spare Parts

Azcue pumps, also referred to as Bombas Azcue, are a Spanish manufacturer of marine type approved pumps. Their SP & MO range of side channel pumps are of a close coupled compact design, with the largest models capable of producing flow rates up to 9m³/hr and pressures up to 22.5 bar. These self-priming liquid ring pumps are excellent for applications requiring high pressures and low to medium flow rates. High pressures are achieved by installing multiple impellers back to back, this creates a design similar to multistage pumps but with the ability to self-prime.

The liquid ring design allows these pumps to self-prime and also handle liquids with up to 50% entrained gas content, this combined with the ability to achieve high pressures makes this range excellent for pressure boosting and hydrophore duties.

With their onsite foundry, Azcue have the flexibility produce their SP & MO series of side channel 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 dimensionally interchangeable with current installed pumps or can be specified for new applications involving sea water, fresh water and low viscosity fuel oils such as the below:

· Sea water/Fresh water cooling

· Reverse osmosis and desalination

· Hydrophore

· Pressure Boosting

· Deck washing

· High temperature and low temperature Boiler feed

· Condensate extraction

· Aquaculture

· Fuel transfer, including marine diesel

· Sea water injection

SP & MO series pumps with high temperature seals and Atex versions for flammable fluids/environments can also be manufactured if required.

FAQS

What spare parts do you supply?

We supply all parts associated with the Azcue SP & MO series side channel pumps, these include; impellers, 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, impellers, 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 BR, SP or MO series side channel pump has not been operational for a long period of time, it is now making significant noise when running, do you know why?

The internals of the BR, SP and MO series of side channel pumps can seize when they have been idle for a long period of time. Once started, there may be some noise for a short amount of time due to the tight clearances between the impeller and diffuser. The sound will stop after the pump has operated and removed any rust particles that are grinding.

Can the BR, SP or MO series side channel pumps be mounted vertically to save space?

Yes, all the Azcue side channel pumps can be mounted vertically for space saving. However please note that they are not self-priming when installed vertically. If the self-priming feature is necessary, then ensure the pump is mounted horizontally.

Can side channel pumps handle solids?

No, due to the tight clearances inside the pump head, solids passing through the pump will cause a blockage and seize the pump. All fluids being pumped must be clean and free of solid particles. Installing a filter before the pump will help protect it from damage.

How do I know what size rubber coupling bush I require?

There are four sizes of coupling bush for Azcue pumps, they are designated as A1, A2, A3 and A4. These are supplied in packs of 6 or 9 depending on the size of coupling and how many slots it contains.
