Frequently Asked Questions

What does overhung pump mean?

An overhung pump is a centrifugal pump design where the impeller is mounted at the end of the shaft, extending beyond the bearing support. This configuration allows for easy maintenance access and is commonly used in chemical processing applications. Chemitek's overhung pumps feature heavy-duty power frames and investment-cast construction for superior reliability.

What is oversizing in the pump?

Pump oversizing refers to selecting a pump with capacity significantly higher than the actual system requirements. While this provides operational margin, it can lead to inefficiencies, cavitation, and increased energy consumption. Chemitek's application engineers help optimize pump sizing to match your exact flow and head requirements for maximum efficiency.

What is the difference between bearing and Overhung pump?

The main difference lies in impeller support: overhung pumps have the impeller mounted beyond the bearing support on a cantilever shaft, while between-bearing pumps support the impeller between two bearings. Overhung designs offer easier maintenance access and are ideal for corrosive applications, which is why Chemitek specializes in this configuration for chemical processing.

What causes overload on a pump?

Pump overload can result from operating beyond design conditions, blocked discharge, incorrect impeller diameter, low system head, or mechanical issues like misalignment. Chemitek's overhung pumps are designed with heavy-duty power frames and proper sizing to prevent overload conditions while maintaining optimal performance in demanding industrial applications.

What are the advantages of overhung pump design for chemical applications?

Overhung pump design offers superior maintenance access, reduced contamination risk, better chemical resistance, and simplified seal arrangements. Chemitek's overhung pumps feature ANSI B73.1 compliance, investment-cast wetted parts, and are available in both metallic and non-metallic materials for optimal chemical compatibility.

How do I select the right overhung pump for my industrial process?

Selection requires evaluating flow rate, head requirements, chemical compatibility, temperature, pressure, and installation constraints. Chemitek's application engineers provide comprehensive consultation to match the optimal overhung pump configuration - whether metallic or non-metallic construction - to your specific process requirements and operating conditions.
