Penguin Series HOM horizontal
centrifugal pumps are designed as an economical alternative for OEM applications that
require high flow rates under moderate head conditions. A True Volute design accompanying
a full diameter impeller creates a highly efficient, energy saving pump. The true volute
eliminates shock losses, prolongs seal life and produces smooth and quiet operation. The
rear impeller vanes are designed to insure proper lubrication of the seal cavity while
central discharge of the volute pump housing prevents air locking. Wet ends are available
separately for placement on customers motor. The HOM series pumps are easy to
assemble and disassemble. The volute pump housing and cover are supplied in glass
filled-polypropylene and the impeller is CPVC.Mechanical
