Azcue CM VP/EP Self Priming Vertical Inline Centrifugal Pump

The Azcue CM Self Priming Vertical Inline Pump is the CM close coupled vertical centrifugal pump with integrated vacuum or electric priming pump, designed for where suction conditions may be difficult. For longer distances, the vacuum priming pump should be selected thanks to its ability to dry run for short periods of time.

The CM is a larger, more robust vertical centrifugal pump, with larger flow and pressure capabilities than the LN. They are ideal solutions for applications involving relatively clean liquids such as water and thin fuels, where space saving may be important. It is same as the VR single stage centrifugal pump with the additional ball bearing between the pump and motor to share the strain of operation, but with the further addition of a spacer coupling for maintenance of the pump without having to remove the motor first.

The Azcue CM vertical self priming centrifugal pump is a back pull out pump, meaning that the motor is able to be removed without having to completely disconnect the pump from the installation, saving time during maintenance. Although technically close coupled, these centrifugal water pumps have a lantern bracket that provides space between the pump and motor whilst still being compact. This means that if the seal fails, no fluid will fall into the motor.

These Azcue vertical inline pumps have one shaft in the pump head and another in the motor meaning that if one there is ever an issue with one, there is no need to replace it all; a benefit over other alternative pumps on the market that have one continuous shaft from head to motor. Thanks to their wearing rings, there is small clearance between the impeller and pump casing preventing wear to these parts. Wearing rings are designed to be replaced periodically, preventing the more costly replacement of the impeller or casing.

The CM Vertical Inline 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 CM vertical inline 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 CM vertical self priming centrifugal pumps 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 combined with its motor being located above the pump head, makes the Azcue CM vertical inline pump suited to applications where installation space may be limited including:
