Centrifugal Process Pump RAC Series

The pumps are characterized by the special impeller. It is of the open type with recessed hub and with a limited number of vanes, two of which symmetrically arranged and axially drawn toward the suction port following a peculiar spiral development. The peculiar shape of the impeller and its large passages allow the delivery of high viscous media and solutions containing high concentration of solid contents and of suspended foreign bodies of remarkable size.

The pumps of RAC line are suitable for industries such as paper, sugar, water softening, food plus mining and chemical industry.
