CH.1 PREFACE
1.1 INTRODUCTION
3P Prinz S.r.l. thanks you very much for choosing a 3P volumetric pump; please also be advised
that all pumps manufactured by the company are produced while taking into account the most
advanced technologies and selecting the most appropriate materials.
All pump parts are subject to strict controls, the castings are pressure tested and, following
the assembly stage, the pump is tested; material analysis, hydraulic test and functional test
certicates are provided on request.
As it can be seen from the pump you have purchased, the body that contains the impeller, i.e.
the actual pumping part, is xed onto the base, bearing the inlet and outlet ports, with a series
of screws; this detail allows the replacement of the pumping body with the greatest of ease and
with minimal expense in case of wear, so as to make the pump operate as new.
Pompe 3P® and Pera-Prinz® are trademarks belonging to 3P Prinz® s.r.l..
Please bear in mind that “Pompe 3P®” pumps are produced with ow rates ranging from 10 to
3000 litres/l’ and are divided into:
- “Pompe 3P®” “M” series (single body) pumps from 10 to 1500 litres/1’
- “Pompe 3P®” “D” series (double-body pumps) from 500 to 3000 litres/1’
