Fact Sheet Tonkaflo* Pumps AS 40K Series • • • • The new AS40K pump (Figure 1) combines high flow with the durability of stainless steel. The AS40K pump is a multistage centrifugal pump with an all stainless steel liquid end mounted on a high-thrust bearing frame. AS40K pumps are available in 60 Hz and 50 Hz models. Especially designed for high-flow applications, the AS40K pumps tolerate punishing applications and harsh environments. AS40K pumps are ideal for use in the power generation and municipal industries, excelling in applications such as large-capacity membrane systems, general industrial boost applications, sanitizing systems and higher temperature water recirculation. In many applications one AS40K pump can take the place of two pumps, reducing both capital and energy costs. Features & Benefits • All Stainless Steel Construction makes AS Series pumps more durable and less susceptible to operator error. AS Series pumps are also chemically compatible with hydrocarbons and can perform within a greater temperature range than the standard Tonkaflo SS Series. Mixed Flow Stage Design delivers up to 74% efficiency. High Grade Elastomers: all seal materials are EPDM or PTFE in our standard design. New Higher Efficiency SS stages in the 40K design. Fabricated Stainless Steel Stages require less maintenance and eliminate the need to balance pump impellers as with single-stage pumps. The end result is smoother operation, less vibration and longer pump life. Separate Bearing Frame increases pump reliability and life because there is no thrust load on the motor. In addition, this feature allows the AS Series pumps to be powered by standard motors. The larger AS 40K’s also include our new high thrust bearing frame design to insure smooth reliable operation. Modular Liquid End allows service of the mechanical seal without disassembling the liquid end of the pump. The AS Series’ modular design also facilitates service of both pump and bearing frame. Flexible Inlet Piping can be modified to fit almost any application. For pressure boost applications, 4-inch inlets are available. For transfer applications, 6-inch inlets are available to connect with 6-inch piping and improve the net positive suction head (NPSH) available to the pump. Victaulic clamps reduce piping stress and make installation of the AS Series pumps easier. Industry Standard Mechanical Seal on pump inlet delivers higher boost pressure capability and longer seal life.
