Benefits

• Energy efficient: superior efficiency resulting in reduced energy

consumption and CO2 footprint.

• Hygienic: designed according to the most stringent hygienic

design standards and with verified effective CIP cleanability.

• Maximized uptime and reduced maintenance costs: robust

mechanical design and ease of maintenance with modular

front-loading seals.

• Conforms to the provisions of ATEX directive: can be used in

potentially explosive environments.

Standard design

All media contacting steel components like pump casing,

impeller, impeller nut and backplate are in W. 1.4404 (AISI 316L).

A stainless steel shroud protects the explosion proof motor and

four adjustable stainless steel legs support the complete unit.

A compression coupling securely attaches the stub shaft to the

motor shaft with precision alignment, and the semi-open impeller

with a special vane design ensures efficient and gentle handling

of the product as it moves through the pump.

As standard, the LKHex pump is equipped with a single

mechanical shaft seal, but is also available with a double

mechanical shaft seal. The front-loading shaft seal, with the

spring and washers mounted on the atmospheric side, makes

maintenance fast, easy and inexpensive. It takes just a few

minutes to replace the shaft seal. In addition, the balanced design

minimizes the risk of seal opening during unforeseen pressure

shock.
