Upgrade to Popular Bronze Pump Range
Tuesday, 7th May 2019
Designed and manufactured exclusively for the commercial sea fishing industry, the products of IFP in Italy have been promoted throughout the UK & Ireland, initially by Cleghorn Waring, now part of the Xylem Group, since 1986.
The widely used “Cleghorn” bronze centrifugal pumps have had an internal re-design that will interest visitors to Skipper Expo Int. Aberdeen 2019, where Charles Cleghorn Limited will be exhibiting on stand number 81b.
The target feature was to radically reduce self-priming time. This has been achieved and first became available when incorporated into the 2” AM50 3-phase motor pumps, in mid 2018.
With a remarkable reduction in priming time of (approx) 50%, the benefit will be particularly effective in larger vessels where significant pipe runs occur and where there are isolating valves & manifolds.
The new feature is also appearing in the pedestal versions of the AM50, for main engine driven applications. Design is now completed and testing in progress for the smaller (1 ½” AM40D) models which will be following the improved AM50D series into production.
The new models have identical external dimensions and are therefore fully interchangeable with all AM40/50 series which have been sold into the UK and Irish fishing industry since 1986.
Complementing the new units will be the well established “PC” models, mostly applied to gearbox and hydraulic system cooling duties, plus “TS” models designed for engine cooling on propulsion motors of up to 850hp.
Charles Cleghorn says that the company looks forward to meeting with long-standing customers from the marine engineering trade and is also keen to meet with skippers, owners and marine engineers from all of mainland Scotland and the offshore islands.
Skipper Expo Int. 2019 runs 17-18 May at the AECC in Aberdeen.
