PUMPS APV pumps reduce production costs, create a quieter working environment, bring reliability to the production process and ensure an improved quality end product. The range includes positive displacement, high efficiency centrifugal and selfpriming pumps. Positive Pumps The APV brand DW range of rotary positive displacement pumps is designed for a variety of hygienic and industrial applications. The pulse-free pumping action of the DW pump minimizes damage to particulates within the product. Thermal jackets can be fitted to facilitate the heating or cooling of the pump chamber before product entry. DW Rotary Lobe Pumps Rectangular inlets are available to improve inlet conditions for high viscosity fluids and pressure relief valves can be provided to avoid overpressurization of the pump. APV s broad range of positive displacement pumps also includes the R Series. The R Series pump line meets 3-A COP requirements and are known for easy disassembly and clean up equaling low maintenance costs. The R Series pumps are operating in thousands of applications in the food, beverage, brewing, meat, bakery, chemical and related industries and are also known all over the world for their rugged, long-lasting design and efficient performance. Sanitary Rotary Pumps R Series Centrifugal Pumps APV brand W+ pumps ensure maximum efficiency and reduce noise and vibration levels to an absolute minimum. The W+ series consists of 17 standard models with pressure and flow capacities from 2.9 psi (.2 bar) to 217 psi (15 bar) and 9 (34 L) to 1,750 gallons (6,624 L) per minute. The W+ pump and Ws+ are based on a unique hydraulic design that combines maximum efficiency with the highest sanitary standards. A critical design feature of the W+ is the APV brand patented spiral volute, which is positioned in the back plate of the pump. The volute increases efficiency and reduces turbulence, ensuring gentle product handling. The efficient design and technology of the Ws+ pump allows for a smaller motor and lower noise level than a traditional self-priming liquid ring pumps while providing an improved flow and pressure capability. APV W+ NEMA version (US) Because the Ws+ is based on the W+ series, many of the spare parts are identical, reducing inventory requirements and total cost of ownership. APV Fluid Handling offers an economical solution to an increasing range of pumping applications: the APV brand V² Series a simplified, maintenancefriendly and efficient centrifugal pump featuring a four-blade, fully open, non-clog impeller.
