Smart Turner Cantilever Pumps are designed to be simple and uncomplicated, yet extremely rugged. The design has a minimum of parts, no liquid seals or packing to consider,
although the shaft is gas and vapor sealed at the support plate. Since there are no submerged bearings or rubbing contacts, the design is ideally suited to difficult vertical applications
where down time is a major handicap and minimum maintenance is a dominant criteria. Features: Casings: A radially split, cast volute with integral suction cover and 125/150 psi ANSI flat faced flanged connections. Impeller:
Cast in one piece, the open impeller is trimmed to the exact diameter required and is factory balanced. The heavy section of the impeller provides excellent wear and corrosion
allowance. Clearance between impeller and casing is factory set to ensure optimum performance and no field adjustment is required. Column:
Common to all models. Spigotted flanges provide accurate and rigid alignment. Column Adaptor: Four column adaptors cover the whole range. They are
cast with fully open sides, to ensure no pressure build up is possible in the column, and house a restriction bushing to prevent leakage along the shaft. Bearing Housing:
Rigid cast iron spigotted to the support plate and accepting a 'C' flange motor as standard. Other drive arrangements can be provided. Shaft:
Massive, rigid, alloy shaft sized to provide smooth running with minimum deflection, and to ensure first critical speed is well above the
running speed, even when the pump is operating against a closed valve. The section passing through the restriction bushing is replaceable to ensure low cost maintenance. Bearings:
Grease lubricated ball or roller bearings depending on frame size. The bearings are selected to provide an optimum B10 100,000 hour
life in normal operating service, and 30,000 hour life or more, even when the pump is operating against a closed valve.
Base Plate: Rigid casting spigotted to both bearing housing and column to ensure accurate alignment. Coverplate: Fabricated to our standard dimensions or to suit the installation.
Interchangeability: 20 pumps on 3 frames, a single column size and only 4 adaptors ensure maximum efficiency and economy. Settings: Standard columns provide settings (base plate to suction) to 5 ft. depending on model. Longer settings can be provided either by use
of a suction nipple or, depending on model and rating, by a longer column.
