The SVI range comprises vertical multistage pumps with immersed body, which may be coupled to
normalised electric motors. The SVI range has some metal parts in contact with the water in stainless
steel and others in cast iron. A special version is available in which all the metal parts in contact with the
water are made of stainless steel.
3. 3. 3. 3. Applications Applications Applications Applications
SVI pumps are typically used to pump cooling and lubricating emulsions in machine tools. They are also
used in washing, filtering and condensate recovery systems, and in all those applications where a
submersible liquid end is required.

Not suitable for handling flammable or explosive liquids
Not suitable for handling liquids containing solid, abrasive or fibrous substances.
Pumped fluids should have the same viscosity and density as water. Fluids having greater viscosity and
density require a suitably oversized electric motor. Maximum kinematic viscosity in compliance with
EN12157.
Maximum working pressure:
For versions “E” and “EN” close-coupled = 10 bar
For versions “S” and “N” with coupling = 25 bar
