Regenerative Turbine Technology

Unlike conventional centrifugal pumps, the CR Series utilizes regenerative turbine technology to generate substantially higher pressures from a compact hydraulic assembly. As liquid circulates through the precision-engineered raceway and impeller design, pressure builds efficiently throughout the pumping cycle.

This design allows the pump to provide reliable high-head performance while maintaining compact dimensions and simplified installation requirements.

Designed for OEM Integration

The small footprint and close-coupled design make the CR Series especially attractive for equipment manufacturers and custom system builders.

Benefits for OEM Applications

• Minimal installation space required

• Simplified equipment packaging

• Reduced system complexity

• Reliable continuous-duty performance

• Easy integration into skid-mounted systems

• Long service life with reduced maintenance requirements

Maintenance-Friendly Design

The CR Series incorporates a field-adjustable impeller design that helps maintain hydraulic efficiency throughout the life of the pump. This feature allows operators to compensate for wear and restore performance without extensive service procedures.

Combined with the close-coupled construction and straightforward component layout, maintenance can be completed quickly and efficiently.

Typical Applications
