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 “Star-Line” Motorpump users continuing savings in all applications.

GENERAL PURPOSE PUMPS

Southern Cross “Star-Line” Motorpumps 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 “Star-Line” Motorpumps exceed the performance standard.

ISO “STAR-LINE” FEATURES

These Australian designed and manufactured Southern Cross “Star-Line” Motorpumps 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 “Star-Line” Motorpumps include:
  • The use of standard off-the-shelf foot and flanged electric motors with highly accurate clamp on shaft extensions.
  • Taper mounted and keyed impeller for easy removal from shaft during servicing and positive locking during operation.
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel shaft extension for safe operation at high speed.
  • AS1830/T260 cast iron volute for added safety.
  • Reusable “O” ring body seal.
  • Hydraulically and dynamically balanced impellers.
  • Highly efficient suction performance from double curvature impeller vanes.
 

“STAR-LINE” PUMP MOUNTING

Wells and other restricted areas are no problem for Southern Cross “Star-Line” Motorpumps. Mounting is simple and efficient in all applications.

“STAR-LINE” SPACE SAVING

A substantial cost saving feature of Southern Cross “Star-Line” Motorpumps is the reduced space requirement over conventional long coupled centrifugal pump units. In building design plantroom space can be reduced substantially for big savings on floor area. Where space is already limited “Star-Line” Motorpumps provide a space saving and economical solution.

STANDARD FEATURES
  • Type 316 stainless steel shaft extension.
  • SG cast iron motor shaft clamp.
  • TEFC IP55 motor.
  • 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.
  • Rigid cast iron bell housing connects motor.
  • Pump housing and single mechanical seal.

OPTIONAL MATERIALS
  • Zinc-free bronze impeller and Molybond coating.

OPTIONAL EXTRAS
  • Zinc-free bronze wear rings for impeller, volute and backplate.
  • Optional single mechanical seals.
  • Optional motor specifications and classes.
  • Works certified and witnessed tests for guaranteed performance.
  • Impeller turndowns.
  • Pressed or welded steel baseplates.

MAXIMUM OPERATING TEMPERATURE

Maximum pumped liquid temperature for Southern Cross “Star-Line” Motorpumps is 100°C using standard seals. Liquids up to 140°C can be handled using special seals.

SIMPLE SERVICING

Southern Cross “Star-Line” Motorpumps offer time and cost saving advantages during servicing. Pump body, with suction and discharge lines attached remains undisturbed during back-pull-out and reassembly. The complications of flexible coupling disassembly and realignment associated with long coupled pump units are also totally eliminated.
