Proven Design
Having developed the first concrete volute pump in the 1930s, Flowserve is a global leader in the design and manufacture of concrete volute pumps. Made of prefabricated concrete segments for the volute housing and intake suction bell, the pump assembly is integrated into the civil construction to reduce installation costs. These pumps also have a well-earned reputation for trouble-free operation with minimal maintenance. A testament to their reliability is the years of continuous operation reported by customers worldwide.
Typical Applications
Originally developed in Holland more than 80 years ago for drainage of polders, reclaimed low-lying land protected by dikes, concrete volute pumps are now used in a variety of high-capacity water applications in numerous industries, including desalination, oil and gas, and power generation. Typical applications include: Drainage Irrigation Flood control Dry dock dewatering Cooling water Seawater intake

Prefabricated Volute
Suction Box
Construction
A removable, metallic pump pull-out unit is located within a concrete volute. Below the volute, the suction bell is connected to a preformed intake suction box. All are prefabricated concrete elements. A manhole permits impeller inspection without removal of the pump unit. The bearings and sealing systems are easily accessible via the space under the motor-gear support. The square volute discharge connection is designed into the discharge channel or connected to a discharge pipeline through a transition piece. The transition piece is grouted into the surrounding concrete of the pumping station. The pump pullout unit is installed when civil work is completed.

Benefits of Prefabricating
Pump quality control is improved. Prefabricated elements have optimal hydraulic shape, excellent surface smoothness, and a high degree of water tightness, due to controlled manufacturing conditions and thorough inspections. On-site construction is greatly simplified and made more efficient in terms of both time and cost. Prefabricated elements serve as shuttering during the construction phase. Delivery dates are met.
Pump Drive
Pumps may be driven directly or through a gearbox. In the latter case, the pump shaft is connected via two spacer type teeth couplings to the driver, thereby avoiding misalignment. The electric motor and the pump each has an axial thrust bearing.
