What’s a Split Casing pump? Explaining the concepts.

Split Casing pumps are made out of two pieces which are connected together by bolts. They may be split in two ways, vertically and horizontally. If they are horizontally split, it means that they are parallel to the shaft direction; if they are vertically split, it means that they are perpendicular to the shaft direction. It’s important to understand which type of pump you need. These split case pumps are used for water extraction, booster pumping, cooling tower circulation, industrial utility and petrochemical duties. They’re a type of centrifugal pump but they differ from end suction pumps or inline pumps in the sense that the casing and two nozzles are included in a single chamber. The great advantage of these pumps is that they are very efficient for higher flow applications.

Here at Vijay Engineering & Machinery Co., we offer both Vertical Split Casing Pumps and horizontal split casing pumps. We are dedicated to customer satisfaction and we have been operating for more than 60 years. We are the leading among all industrial pump distributors since we have been highly certified by the UL and FM approval guide. For some of our products, we are the first and only certified producer in India. We offer four different types of pumps (some vertical and some horizontal): UP, DSM, SCT and iHT pumps.

UP pumps are gland packed and have a mechanical seal; they’re mostly used for irrigation, water supply and power plants. DSM pumps can either be single or double stage and are used in the same industries as mentioned above, along with the air conditioning industry. As for the SCT pumps, the impeller is precisely balanced by a single or double suction. These pumps help with water that is not purified, petroleum refineries, conditioning and refrigeration systems. iHT pumps have the impellers centrally placed on a shaft and the whole rotating system is precisely balanced. They are used in a wide variety of industries. Contact us about acquiring one at your earliest convenience.
