Azcue MN ATEX Close Coupled Centrifugal Pump

The Azcue MN ATEX Close Coupled Centrifugal Pump is similar in design to the CP, but a larger, more robust horizontal centrifugal pump with larger flow and pressure capabilities and that can handle higher temperature fluids. Based on DIN 24255, the Azcue MN is dimensionally the same as other pumps allowing it to easily replace existing single stage centrifugal pumps from other manufacturers in applications involving relatively clean fluids such as water and low viscosity fuels.

The Azcue MN horizontal centrifugal pump benefits from a back pull out design, allowing the motor to be removed without disconnecting the pump from the pipework, saving time during maintenance. Whilst being closed coupled, this centrifugal water pump has a lantern bracket, which means that whilst being of more compact construction, there is still space between the pump and motor so should the seal fail fluid will not enter the motor. Thanks to the addition of wear rings, there is small clearance between the impeller and pump casing preventing wear to these parts. Wearing rings are designed to be changed every now and then to prevent the more costly replacement of the impeller or casing.

These Azcue pumps have separate shafts in the pump head and motor meaning that if there is ever an issue with one shaft, there is no need to replace it all; a benefit over other pumps on the market that have one continuous shaft from head to motor. If required, the MN horizontal centrifugal pump is available with an external vacuum or electric priming pump. For longer suction distances, a vacuum priming pump would be the better solution thanks to its ability to dry run for short periods of time.

The MN Close Coupled Centrifugal Pump is manufactured by Azcue Pumps. As the official UK Agent of Azcue Pumps, Castle Pumps are a leading Bombas Azcue supplier in the UK with unrivalled technical knowledge. Azcue Pumps are a European manufacturer with over 100 years’ experience in type approved pumps for marine and offshore applications. Today their pumps are installed in more than 10,000 vessel builds. Whilst originally developed for the marine market, Azcue Pumps’ reliability in applications that depend upon the safety and operation of a ship saw them become a desirable product in industrial applications involving water, fuels and lubricants.

One of the key benefits of the MN single stage centrifugal pump like the other models in the Azcue range, is that is benefits from interchangeable parts for reduced on board stockholding. We guarantee supply of spares for 15 years from model discontinuation for long term pump servicing., saving the user from having to prematurely replace a pump that just needs maintenance.

Azcue MN centrifugal water pump are cast, machined and assembled at their foundry in Spain. Each pump is manufactured to order and designed to fit your process, resulting in greater efficiency and lower overall lifetime cost in terms of wear and energy consumption. Before leaving the factory, pumps are individually tested to confirm performance meets the requirements set out in your enquiry.

Single stage centrifugal pumps are the most common pump type for the transfer of low viscosity fluids in high flow rate and relatively low-pressure installations. The centrifugal pump design is often associated with the transfer of water, but is also a popular solution for handling thin fuels and chemicals. This makes the Azcue MN close coupled centrifugal pump suited to applications including:
