LKHex Centrifugal Pump
LKHex- 10 with shroud and legs

Applications

The LKHex pump is a highly efficient and economical centrifugal pump, which meets the requirements of the ATEX directive 94/9 IEC group II, categories 2 and 3, temperature class T3 and T4. LKHex is available in nine sizes, LKHex-10, -15, -20, -25, -35, -40, -45, -50, -60.
The LKHex performance data are equal to the performance of LKH pump.

Standard design

The LKHex pump consists of motor, stub shaft, mechanical compression coupling, adaptor, back plate, impeller, pump casing and shaft seal.

The LKHex has a stainless steel shroud for protection of the motor, and the complete unit is supported on four adjustable stainless steel legs.

Shaft seals

The LKH pump is equipped with either a single shaft seal or a double mechanical shaft seal. The seal ring is in acid-resistant steel AISI 329 with sealing surface in silicon carbide and rotating seal rings in carbon or silicon carbide.

Materials

Product wetted steel parts: Acid-resistant steel 1.4404 (316L).
Other steel parts: Stainless steel 1.4301 (304).
Finish: Semi bright.
Product wetted seals: EPDM, NBR, FPM and FEP.
