REDUCED RUNNING COSTS

Super hydraulic design and high technology manufacturing methods produce significantly higher efficiencies for less power consumption and minimum maintenance … features which guarantee Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” Pump users continuing savings in all applications.

GENERAL PURPOSE PUMPS

Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” Pumps offer top efficiency and reliability for a full range of general-purpose water transfer applications in industry, building services and irrigation.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD

Conforming with ISO 2858 Standard means dimensional interchangeability with other makes of pumps, manufactured to the same international standard, however because of design superiority Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” Pumps exceed the performance standard.

“ISO SOVEREIGN” FEATURES

These Australian designed and manufactured Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” Pumps are readily available in a full range of sizes, backed not only by an Australia wide service and spare parts network, but with an extensive group of international stock and service centres.

Special design features of Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” Pumps include:

  • Taper mounted and keyed impeller for easy removal from shaft during servicing and positive locking during operation.
  • Heavy-duty shaft with large capacity impeller end bearing for safe operation at high speed.
  • AS1830/T260 cast iron volute for added safety.
  • Reusable “O” ring body seal.
  • Minimum number of parts for full range (only four shaft modules) reduces spare parts stocking.
  • Hydraulically and dynamically balanced impellers.
  • Highly efficient suction performance from double curvature impeller vanes.

“ISO SOVEREIGN” PERFORMANCE TESTING

Where guaranteed pump performance is required Southern Cross will perform Works Certified or Works Witnessed Tests using the latest computer performance monitoring equipment installed in the Southern Cross Pump Test Laboratory.

STANDARD FEATURES

  • Type 431 stainless steel shaft.
  • Rugged cast iron volute with integral suction and discharge flanges and mounting feet.
  • Pressure rated to 1600kPa (160 metres head).
  • Cast iron impeller and backplate.
  • Stainless steel impeller nut.
  • Cast iron bearing housing with sealed for live grease packed bearings (standard sizes readily available from most bearing suppliers).
  • Lip type shaft seals to protect bearings.
  • Single mechanical seal.

BACK PULL OUT

When a spacer coupling is used pump body, suction and discharge lines and electric motor remain undisturbed during servicing. This saves valuable time and eliminates pump and motor realignment.

OPTIONAL MATERIALS

  • Zinc-free bronze impeller, type 316 stainless steel shaft and Molybond coating.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS

  • Zinc-free bronze wear rings for impeller, volute and backplate.
  • Optional single mechanical seals.
  • Soft packed gland seals.
  • Works certified and witnessed tests for guaranteed performance.
  • Impeller turndowns.
  • Flexible and spacer couplings.
  • Pulleys.
  • Pressed or welded steel baseplates.

MAXIMUM OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Maximum pumped liquid temperature for Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” Pumps is 100°C using standard seals. Liquids up to 140°C can be handled using special seals.

“ISO SOVEREIGN” PUMP MOUNTING

Normal horizontal mounting gives vertical centre-line discharge, however any angle from horizontal to vertical is acceptable. A feature of the Southern Cross “ISO Sovereign” range of pumps is the ability to mount the body sideways for horizontal discharge to either side. This is done using two simple mounting brackets which align with the same mounting holes as used for normal foot mounting so that no base modifications are necessary to change the pump discharge from vertical to horizontal.
