3.1 Description of pump
BBA self-priming centrifugal pumps are highly suitable for pumping clean and soiled liquids.
The pumps are provided with an open rotor and a wear plate that can be quickly changed.
Because few turning parts come into contact with the liquid, wear to the pump remains limited.
Large cleaning covers are also applied. The pumps have a modular construction and can be provided as:
standard modular cast iron with as options bronze and stainless steel.
It is possible to assemble different kinds of elastomers. It is also possible to assemble a large number of
different mechanical shaft seals. The shaft is provided as standard with C45 steel with optional stainless
steel.
The pumps can supplied as a bearing support design, and as a large number of pumps in a single block
and add-on design.

-Series is not designed for the food industry, but can be used when there are no
special requirements from hygienic standards. The materials used for the selected pump

lways be checked beforehand for their suitability for the
The B-Series is suitable for pumping viscous liquids to 50 mm²/s (cst).
The maximum liquid temperature is 180 degrees (in ATEX zones the max. temperature depends on the zone
and category). This is also dependent on for example: material types, liquid, working pressure, and setup of
pump, see technical information.
