The FlowFriend Series:

• extremely energy efficient
• standard  ow/rpm controls
• optional 0-10V control
• high flows at low energy consumption
• extremely quiet
• a highly efficient new generation of permanent magnet motor
• 3 different optimised pump housings, cast completely of stainless steel grade 316
• optimal adjustment for versatile application
• a premium efficiency IE4 motor
• can be used anywhere in the world ranging from 100-240V/50-60Hz

The motor speed (600-2,550 rpm) can be adjusted as standard with every type of FlowFriend. The pump includes a display for this purpose that also shows power consumption and hours of operation. Every FlowFriend can also be controlled externally via an optional 0-10V port. The major benefit of permanent magnet motors compared to frequency controlled asynchronous motors is the remarkably high effuciency at low rpm. However, even at higher rpm, these pumps are significantly more efficient.

Ingenious pump housings
A pump’s hydraulics consist of the pump’s rotor and the pump’s housing. The FlowFriend’s hydraulics are entirely made of cast 316 stainless steel. Robust, smooth and a perfect shape to keep internal losses to a minimum.

The FlowFriend Standard
The standard FlowFriend has a mixed- ow pump housing, a type that is also often used at pumping stations. Its optimal field of application is for a pump lift of between 1 and 5 metres. The hydraulics have been designed such that greater pressure is available than with an axial (propeller) pump. As a result, signifcantly less energy is used in comparison to pumps of similar capacity. Almost all pumps with high capacity have more than 10 metres of pressure. This high available pressure uses a great deal of energy. If there is higher back pressure to any extent, resulting for example from longer hose lengths, numerous bends and difference in height, then this ‘standard’ FlowFriend is the optimal choice. The FlowFriend has a 3” screw thread connection at both the suction and the pressure sides.

Motor and seal
The FlowFriend has a very high-quality Eagle Burgmann shaft seal. The motor has been designed in-house and is manufactured by one of Germany’s largest and most important producers of electrical motors. The motor’s efficiency, depending on the RPMs, is between 88 and 94%.
