Horizontal Side Suction Pump
The MK FLOW Horizontal Side Suction Pump is a robust, space-saving centrifugal pump designed with a side suction and top centerline discharge for easy inline piping and efficient flow handling. Its compact design and stable performance make it a preferred choice in industrial process applications, cooling systems, and water circulation systems requiring horizontal mounting and low NPSH requirements.
⚙️ Working Principle
This is a single-stage, end suction centrifugal pump with a horizontal shaft configuration. The side suction design reduces the need for elbows or bends in the piping layout, resulting in lower friction losses, better flow dynamics, and easy installation in tight spaces. The pump is designed for continuous-duty operations in clean and slightly contaminated fluids.
