Axial Flow Pumps
The axial flow pump delivers high flow and low head, from 1,700GPM to 27,000GPM and head from 10-30ft, with a high sphere size. It can be made with an above-or below-ground head, and using water or oil lubrication.
There are configurations of low head and above the surface, lubricated by water and oil.
Characteristics
- Applications
