Designed for fixed and vehicle applications, GE style pumps can be supplied and mounted on a baseplate and driven by a prime mover such as an electric motor or a diesel engine. For the ultimate in safety, we offer pumps directly coupled to a Pelton (water) wheel. The latter are popular in offshore and refinery applications. All models are NFPA20 compliant and certain models are VdS certified. The pumps can be run on water for 10 minutes at duty point or for 1 hour total at minimum 1000 rpm, 10 barg maximum.
GF range is similar but primarily a foam concentrate pump, the difference being these pumps are designed for liquids of a lower viscosity. Lower viscous liquids including water can test for 30 hours on water before foam use. With a lip seal shaft sealing, the pump is capable of dry running (will surpass industry requirement). Available as a pump-only unit or mounted on a baseplate coupled to a prime mover. The pumps can be used for 30 hour water test prior to use and can handle viscosities down to 1 cSt.
