Case story: Passenger ship operator

• Application:                    Sewage treatment on passenger ships
• Pump:                              Realax IP 70 on a trolley
• Viscosity:                         Varying viscosity
• Abrasive/solids:              High percentage of solids
• Requirements:                Pump should be mobile to move from ship to ship

With the ease of use, ease of maintenance, low operating and maintenance costs and the mobility of the pump, using the realax IP 70 made it the ideal solution for the customer.

All models in realax IP series are roller compression pumps and meet the requirement of the many pumping applications encountered in the paints/finishings and coatings industry, food production and where applications require sludges and slurries to be transferred.
