 is the worldwide
protected trade name for the EGGER vortex pumps. |
The latest TURO design enhances the principe of a
hydro-dynamic liquid coupling to transport the pumped medium. |
TURO advantages
- Non clogging
The recessed TURO impeller permits
an unobstructed passage through the pump casing, and this allows solids up
to virtually the full diameter of the discharge port size to pass through
without the danger of clogging. Long fibrous materials can also be handled
without difficulty.
- Improved hydraulic efficiencies
The
TURO pump design incorporates an axial spiral in a concentric casing, this
ensures that solids entrained in the flow are quickly discharged from the
pump thereby reducing internal recirculation, which is detrimental to
hydraulic efficiencies and pump wear life.
- Low attrition of medium
Due to the natural flow
of the fluid through the pump casing and the fact that the flow is
virtually isolated from the impeller, fragile solids such as crystals,
carbon and live cockles etc. can be passed through the pump with very
little damage. Ideally suited for low shear applications.
- Simple design
The hydraulic centering of
the impeller in the casing and its simple open design results in very
little radial loadings on shaft and bearings. Even under extreme conditions
when wear occurs on the impeller, it is concentric and does not affect the
mechanical balance of the TURO pump.
- Low running costs
Due to the improved hydraulic
efficiencies of the TURO pumps, they absorb less power than other designs
of vortex pumps. The gentle pumping action also contributes to improved
wear life of component parts.
- Reliability
The robust and simple design together
with correctly chosen materials guarantees a long service life. Time has
proven that TURO pumps require very few spare parts when com- pared with
other makes of pumps.
- Standardized programme
Because of a maximum
interchangeability of parts in different pump sizes and designs, spares
can be reduced to the absolute minimum.

The TURO-Vortex pumps have the benefit of EGGER's 45 years experience
in solids handling applications. The experience is reflected in todays
designs.
The TURO pump is a single stage end suction, radially split casing
pump, with centre-line discharge, incorporating the back pull-out
feature.
Separately mounted pump feet allow the discharge to be
positioned 90° either side of the pump centre-line. It also permits the use of
one standard pump casing for all different pump designs |
