Pump

- INTRODUCTION
- Today's problem of liquid handling
is much more involved than it was five years ago. The
variety of liquids being handled has increased along with
temperatures and pressures. The costs of engineering and
construction have risen considerably. The need for
economy and interchangeability in design has become more
important. The variety of today's installations demands
quiet, smooth-running, long life pumps. The reliability
of pump performance has become an essential. The 340/360
series is a modern design based on Aurora Pump's 70+
years experience with the design, sales and manufacture
of centrifugal pumps. Significantly, pump Models 341A and
342A offer as standard HI-NEMA Type JM stock motors and
Models 361A and 362A offer HI-NEMA Type JP stock motors.
Aurora Pump also offers the powerframe mounted Model 344A
and 364A.
