VM Series:

The design of these pumps enables its application on services where installation space is at a premium. These vertical in-line pumps can be assembled on straight pipelines. The inner pump parts (impeller, mechanical seal, wear rings etc.) are easily accessible without any need for the removal of the suction or discharge pipes.

General Applications

Power plants & Irrigation systems

Air conditioning and heating

Cooling systems

Water supply & Clear or lightly charged liquid pumping

Marine

General Service Pump: bilge, ballast, deck wash or fire fighting

Fresh Water and Sea Water cooling of: main engine, auxiliary engine, gear box etc.

Brine circulation and transfer

Water circulation on condensers and fresh water generators

Air conditioning and freezing services

Harbour and shipyard services

Main Pump

Vertical single stage centrifugal pumps, In-Line execution. The pump can be assembled in confined spaces due to the suction and discharge flanges being in-line.

The impeller is mounted 'reversed' with the suction facing upwards. This enables a better balance of the axial forces acting on the pump shaft supporting ball bearings.

Priming Pump

A liquid ring priming pump can be fitted, which has a high suction capacity. It has a compact design for simple maintenance and repair.

Executions

The VM-series of Bombas Azcue Pumps are available in various builds (VM, VM-EP, VM-EF and VM-VP).

This range is constructed with a rigid coupling between the pump and motor. On this range there is also no need to remove the suction or discharge pipes and access to the inner parts are by removing the motor. This is a compact construction that uses the minimum of space.

VM series

No priming pump

VM-EP

With Priming Pump and automatic unit stop once priming is complete. The priming pump is driven via an electric motor.

VM-EF

Identical to VM-EP but with a mechanical purger with float, to avoid discharge of liquid to atmosphere by the pump during priming.

VM-VP

Priming system by means of venturi ejector driven by air pressure
