 GILKES SELF-PRIMING CENTRIFUGAL PUMPS

High and dry with J self-priming centrifugal pumps

J pumps are self-priming centrifugal pumps with open impeller handling large diameter solids and replaceable wear plates. They have easily opened inspection covers and externally lubricated mechanical seals.

 Applications for Gilkes J self-priming centrifugal pump
  Simple construction. Only one moving part: the impeller
  Easy inspection of impeller
  Quick self-priming without foot valves.The pump self-primes automatically to heights of up to 1.5 m
  Large diameter solids handled
  High resistance to abrasive liquids. The wear plate is easily replaced and can be covered with an abrasion and oil resistant rubber facing.
  Externally lubricated mechanical seal. Lubrication prevents damage during dry running and stops leaks or air or liquid along the shaft.
  Easy to install. Only the suction hose is immersed in the liquid. The pump can be set up high and dry in the most convenient position for inspection and maintenance.
 

Long life. The parts subject to wear can be easily replaced one or more times to restore the original performance 

J pumps are used when one or more of the following are required:
 - self-priming
 - solids handling
 - resistance to abrasion
U pumps can handle liquids up to a viscosity of about 50 mm2/s (cSt).
