Imo AB manufactures 3-axis screw pumps primarily for pumping petroleum products. Imo Pump produces the following types ACD, ACE, ACF, ACG, D4, E4; LPQ.
Technology:
Imo ab is the inventor of the 3-axis screw pump and is still considered a world leader in the technology today. The technology is very quiet even under high pressure.
The pump is self-priming and has a built-in bypass valve, ready to install. The bypass valve is considered a working valve.
Imo performs transfer pump line up to 16 bar and a high pressure line up to min. 80 bar.
In our technical descriptions you can find the individual parameters for pressure, temperature, viscosity and their interrelation.
Shaft seals:
Imo Pumps are equipped with either a single mechanical shaft seal or magnetic coupling (sealless).
The shaft seals define the transfer pumps in 2 versions Lub Line NVBP and Fuel Line NTBP. The shaft seals are Sic/Carbon or Sic/Sic and are interchangeable. This means that an NVBP pump can easily be changed to an NTBP version. This achieves a better sealing degree of the pumps.
Production:
Imo Pump ab is part of Circor and through it connected to Allweiler, where the pumps are currently produced in Radolfzell, Germany.
Application:
Imo pumps are primarily used for petroleum products such as lubricating oil, heavy fuel, diesel oil, gas oil, hydraulic oil, vegetable oils, and as pumps for new biodiesel or biofuel etc.
It is therefore natural that Imo pumps are the preferred choice of shipping companies for ships, and by energy companies for burner/boiler systems at heat-producing plants, and anywhere else where oil needs to be pumped, for example for hydraulics.
Type approvals:
Imo can be certified according to all recognized classification systems such as Lloyds, DNV etc. and also Atex approved.
