The PL-2 Pump

The PL-2 is a versatile and reliable self-priming, centrifugal pump. It’s designed to deliver superior performance, with a focus on easy maintenance and robust operational capabilities. This pump is easy to use and is completely interchangeable with most other popular brands and existing systems making it ideal for private companies and public municipalities

The Benefits & Advantages of the PL-2

Known for its robust design and superior performance, the PL-2 offers a multitude of benefits from its versatile operational capabilities. With features like a removable cover plate for easy maintenance, external shim-less adjustment for peak performance, and multi-vane impellers for maximum efficiency, this pump ensures optimal functionality and reduced downtime.

Removable Cover Plate

A standout feature of the PL-2 is its removable cover plate. This design aspect allows for easy access to the pump interior for service and maintenance, significantly reducing downtime.

Replaceable Wear Plate

The pump features a replaceable wear plate, which extends the pump's life and reduces maintenance costs. This feature allows easy replacement of the wear plate without needing to disassemble the entire pump.

External Shim-Less Adjustment

The PL-2 boasts a unique design feature with an external shim-less adjustment capability, which means the clearance for the wear plate and impeller can be easily adjusted. This allows the pump to maintain its peak performance without the need for time-consuming disassembly.

Dual Protection

The PL-2 is designed for reliability and long operational life. It includes a dual-protection system with both a seal leak detector and a bearing temperature sensor, ensuring early detection of any issues and preventing major failures.

Multi-Vane Impellers

Equipped with multi-vane impellers, the PL-2 is able to achieve maximum efficiencies. This design allows it to handle solids and slurries efficiently, making it ideal for various demanding applications.

Replaceable Wear Plate

The pump features a replaceable wear plate, which extends the pump's life and reduces maintenance costs. This feature allows easy replacement of the wear plate without needing to disassemble the entire pump.

Back Pull-Out Design

For ease of maintenance, the PL-2 pump utilizes a back pull-out design. This allows for easy disassembly of the pump for repair or inspection, while the casing remains in the piping.

Automatic Air Release

The PL-2 is equipped with an automatic air release during priming to ensure efficient operation. It doesn't need a foot valve as it can prime and reprime fully automatically.

Versatile Applications

The PL-2 exceeds in serving professionals across industries such as asphalt, water & wastewater, chemical, mining, food & beverage, oil & gas, pulp & paper, electricity & power, agriculture, and general commercial industries.
