LIGHT INDUSTRIAL PUMPS - U SERIES
Amarinth U Series industrial centrifugal pumps are designed and manufactured for a number of applications including condensate recovery, brewery processing, caustic transfer and water duties. The pumps are typically found in general industrial applications such a building services or breweries & distilling. U Series pumps are designed for low NPSH applications and all have independently verified, full ATEX compliance.

The U Series general industrial pumps are designed to be fully interchangeable with a Girdlestone USM or URF pump. Amarinth's U Series pump has identical termination points (i.e. suction and discharge flange positions) to the Girdlestone equivalent pump meaning there are no issues changing pipework when you replace your existing pump. The U Series will simply slot straight into the space left by the old pump.
Using modern computer aided design software the pumps are designed as a light to medium duty, minimal wear, long life pump. The original Girdlestone design has been in use for many decades and is a well proven, reliable workhorse. The Amarinth U Series replacement is aimed at customers who want the same reliability and minimum disruption when a new replacement is required for their existing Girdlestone pump.
To complete the package a full range of standard material options including cast iron, stainless steel and gunmetal are available to match your process fluid. Standard documentation packs including data sheets, material certification, installation and operating manuals are available to suit the application. Performance testing to BS EN 25199 / ISO 5199 and various NDE (non destructive examination) and NDT (non destructive testing) options are offered to ensure full compliance to our customer's specifications. Alternative bespoke packages can be tailored to fit your exact requirements.
