PUMPS
Primed for action
Subaru centrifugal pumps are siad to combine a powerful
overhead cam engine, heavy-duty construction and reliable
performance for a variety of applications.
The self-priming pumps are available in 2-, 3- and 4-in (51, 76
and 102 mm) models. Each model is powered by a Subaru EX
Series overhead cam engine, which the company said provided
maximumperformance, lower emissions andbetter fuel economy.
The 2-inch (51 mm) PKX220 is powered by the EX16, a 3.2
kW engine, andoffers a delivery volume of 650 litres/minute.
Powered by the 4.2 kW EX17 engine, the 3-inch (76 mm)
Mody’smodels
include a line of
dewatering and
sewage by-pass
pumps.
PKX320 provides a delivery volume of 1,100 litres/minute.
Finally, the4-inch (102mm) PKX401offers adelivery volumeof
1,348 litres/minute and is poweredby the 6.6kWEX27 engine.
Designed to offer durability for the most demanding job sites,
Subaru centrifugal pumps are said tousehighquality, heavy-duty
materials.
An abrasion-resistant, cast-iron three-blade impeller helps
ensure long life, while a hardened cast-iron volute is designed
to withstand debris sucked through the strainer. The advanced
volute pumps water straight into the cavity for fast priming.The
carbon ceramic seal is self-lubricating and claims toprovidemany
hours of trouble-free service.
Subaru centrifugal pumps feature adurable, heavy-duty strainer
toprotect thepump from large solids.Theholediameter prevents
large debris from entering the suction hose. A strong aluminium
die-cast housing is built towithstand the debris allowed. Suction
and discharge nipples have standardNPT fittings for quick, easy
hose connections.
Vibration isolators also come as standard and lessen vibration to
keep the pump stable. For quiet operation, the centrifugal pump
features a low-tonemuffler and a sound-suppressing air cleaner.
Thecompany said that routinemaintenancecouldbecompleted
in the field with common hand tools. Four stainless steel cap
screws hold together the aluminium casings, and all wear parts
are exposed when the cover is removed, making maintenance
convenient.
The large plastic plugs make draining and filling easier and
eliminate corrosionbetween the plugs and casing

A good investment is not determined by the
price, butby the cost ofownership.That’swhy
wemake pumps designed for the things that
really count: Long operating time, less need
for supervisionand low costs formaintenance
and spare parts.
Because quality pays in the long run.
A good investment shows in the
