The floating pump is a unique equipment, with unmatched capabilities and applications. The Pump is a complete and integrated operative unit, designed for continuous operation, capable of handling very large flows. It can be installed and placed in operation in a short period of time, without the need to make civil constructions, required for other type of pumps of similar or even inferior flow rates.

The floating pump is an extraordinary tool for urban or rural installations, or where it is either impossible or too expensive to build classical pump stations, for instance flood control or emergency operations. Its structural design and construction materials are designed for long term, continuous operation.

The Floating solution is applicable to a wide range of high capacity pumps, from axial flow to mixed flow and multi-stage pumps, making it possible to implement the floating solution in alternate applications (consult factory for other applications).

The FLOATING PUMP is built with light weight, high resistance materials, requiring simple and inexpensive maintenance.

  CAR-CONSTRUCCION

  • The ETEC´s Axial Flow – Floating Pump is constructed under the dimensions and exact measures of a 20´ container, facilitating transportation of the unit.
  • All the hydraulic elements are built on ASTM 131 Marine grade-A steel plates.
  • Water lubricated enclosed shaft with exchangeable casing and protection tunnel (option with oil lubrication).
  • The impeller is made of cast profiled stainless steel blades shaped and designed for optimum hydraulic performance.
  • Keel-cooler refrigeration system for the diesel operated units (electrical operation available also).
  • The polyester reinforced with fiber glass flotation chambers are filled with low density closed cell polyurethane foam to prevent sinking if perforated.
  • Intake is protected by a trash control screen.
  • The pump requires a 1.5 meter water depth for operation (Could vary according to the model).
  • Flexible coupling between the floating pump and pipe allows the equipment to rest at different angles depending on tide levels.
