What is a Monoblock Pump?
A monoblock pump is an inline centrifugal pump where the motor and impeller are mounted on a single shaft. This compact design eliminates couplings and baseplates, reducing maintenance and footprint.
Key Features
- Space-saving inline design
- Direct-coupled motor for reduced vibration
- Stainless steel casing and impeller options
- High efficiency up to IE3 motor class
- Easy access for routine service
Pre-Installation Planning
- Site and flow requirement assessment
- Selection of correct pump series and motor rating
- Piping layout and support bracket preparation
Installation Procedure
- Mounting: Secure pump inline with existing pipeline and install support brackets to prevent strain.
- Alignment & Leveling: Ensure pump and motor shaft alignment; verify with spirit levels.
- Piping Connections: Connect inlet and outlet pipes with flexible connectors to avoid stress.
- Electrical Wiring: Wire to starter panel, configure overload and thermal protections.
- Commissioning: Fill pump with fluid, remove air pockets, test at various speeds and loads.
Advanced Service Enhancements
- VFD integration for adjustable flow control
- Online monitoring of vibration and temperature
- Self-priming kit installation where required
