Alfa Laval LKHex Centrifugal Pump

Applications

The LKHex pump is a highly efficient and economical centrifugal pump, which meets the requirements of the ATEX directive 94/9 IEC group II, categories 2 and 3, temperature class T3 and T4. LKHex is available in following sizes, LKHex-10, -15, -20, -25, -35, -40, -45, -50, -60, -70. The LKHex performance data are equal to the performance of LKH pump.

Standard design

The LKHex has a stainless steel shroud for protection of the motor, and the complete unit is supported on four adjustable stainless steel legs.

Shaft seals

The LKH pump is equipped with either a single shaft seal or a double mechanical shaft seal (DMS). The seal ring is in acid-resistant steel AISI 329 with sealing surface in silicon carbide and rotating seal rings in carbon or silicon carbide.
