Framo Submerged Cargo Pump

The Framo submerged cargo pump is a vertical single-stage centrifugal pump driven by a hydraulic motor and installed in each cargo tank. Made in stainless steel with a smooth, easy-to-clean surface and few flanges, it can pump any liquid regardless of specific weight or viscosity.

Key features

• Single suction impeller, axially balanced, with a short, stiff drive shaft
• Fail-safe lubrication and cooling by the hydraulic driving oil
• Concentric hydraulic pipes and a ventilated cofferdam protecting the pump
• Mechanical seal against hydraulic oil and double lip seal against cargo
• Built-in stripping system
• Stepless capacity control via the Speed Torque Control (STC) valve on the top plate; the pump cannot be overloaded or over-speeded
• Seal condition monitored by purging the cofferdam; wear parts replaceable from inside the tank
• Every pump individually tested for capacity, head, hydraulic pressure and oil flow

Applications

Cargo discharge on chemical, product and oil tankers, as part of the Framo cargo pumping system.
