PATENTED I-ALERT® CONDITION MONITOR Constantly measures vibration and temperature at the thrust bearing. Colored LEDs indicate general pump health. Provides early warning of improper operation before catastrophic failure occurs. STANDARD LABYRINTH OIL SEALS Prevent premature bearing failure caused by lubricant contamination and loss of lubricant. CONTINUOUS HIGH-PERFORMANCE Original high efficiency maintained by simple external impeller adjustment resulting in long-term energy savings. HEAVY-DUTY SHAFT Designed for minimum deflection at maximum load. Dry shaft achieved by sealing from...

3. Minimum Hydraulic Loads For Maximum Reliability and Zero Leakage Maximum Mechanical Reliability Our sideplate is clamped securely and sealed positively to ensure that it does not lead to breakage or leakage. Goulds open impeller design was engineered to assure minimum radial and axial thrust loads to maximize seal and bearing life. 1 Full Back Shroud Maximizes mechanical integrity 2 Balance Holes Low axial thrust 3 Engineered Back Vanes Extended seal and bearing life Back vane height / angle and shroud design are engineered to minimize hydraulic loads throughout the life of the pump....

Power Ends Designed for Maximum Reliability Power End Reliability is vital when thinking about pump mean time between failure (MTBF). To ensure maximum bearing life, the 3180 follows four key factors: • Bearing Design Life • Bearing Temperature • Bearing Environment • Continuous Condition Monitoring 2. Bearing Temperature Keeping the pump loads minimized and selecting the "right" bearing will keep bearing temperature under control. Typical bearing operating temperatures of competitor's process pumps are between 140-160° F. Goulds Model 3180 bearing temperatures average only 120° F (50° C)!...

A visual indication of pump health makes walk-around inspections more efficient and accurate. The result is a more robust process to monitor and maintain all your pumps so that your plant profitability is maximized. Labyrinith Oil Seals are Standard Contamination being the second leading cause of bearing failure requires special attention. Common lip seals were not considered due to their 2,000 hour design life. After wearing out, there will be an open passage way for contamination. Failures can happen between monitoring intervals Normal monitoring interval Onset of failure goes undetected...

Impeller Designs to Optimize Performance The right design for the service results in optimum efficiency and up-time, especially when handling difficult media such as recycle fibers with contaminants. Open Impeller Design suitable for most services. Allows for resistance to wear and corrosion. Provides for easily renewable clearances. Designed for optimum efficiency. Enclosed Impeller Available for services where efficiency is a consideration and enclosed design is suitable for service conditions. Efficiency can be renewed with axial adjustment and / or wear ring replacement. Also beneficial...

1 Solids / liquid mixture flows toward mechanical seal /seal chamber. 2 Turbulent zone. Some solids continue to flow toward shaft. Other solids are forced back out by centrifugal force (generated by back pump-out vanes). 3 Clear liquid continues to move toward mechanical seal faces. Solids, air, vapors flow away from seal. 4 Low pressure zone created by Vane Particle Ejector. Solids, air, vapor liquid mixture exit seal chamber bore. Dynamic seal For Elimination of Mechanical Seal Problems; Reduced Maintenance Goulds Dynamic Seal option is ideally suited to handle the tough applications...
