DESCRIPTION

Azcue VST 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 VST range of vertical immersion pumps are designed specifically for the transfer of lubricating oils from sumps and tanks. The largest models within the range can produce high flow rates up to 2000m³/hr and pressures up to 8 bar.

With their onsite foundry, Azcue have the flexibility to produce their VST series 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 the below applications:

· Lube oil transfer for cooling and lubricating

Special versions for high temperatures up to 100°C 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 VST series of vertical immersion centrifugal 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, 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.

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.
