11 models horizontal and vertical 1.5 to 1500 m3/h
Single stage end suction pumps for clear water, hot water, thermal oil and chemical duties, in close coupled and coupled versions, with cast iron, stainless steel or bronze wetted parts.
The Range
The SKW and SKS families mount horizontally, the SKG family mounts inline and vertically. Within each family the suffix marks the duty: H for chemical, R for hot water, S for high temperature, Y for oil.

View specifications →The SKW family is close coupled with no separate coupling or baseplate, which cuts the footprint against an ordinary horizontal set with a coupling and frame.
Standard water pumps stop around 80 degrees. The R, S and Y models carry higher temperature limits, up to 350 degrees on thermal oil versions in the high temperature line.
Dynamically balanced impellers and direct coupling reduce vibration, which protects bearings and keeps plant rooms under a building quieter.
Why This Line
1.5 to 1500 m3/h with heads to 150 m and drives to 160 kW means one family covers most water and process duties rather than forcing a change of supplier at the edges.
Mechanical seal with hard alloy rotating and stationary faces, or packing gland where the liquid and the maintenance regime favour it.
Casing and impeller in cast iron, stainless steel or bronze. Chemical versions run stainless wetted parts throughout.
Application Scenarios
Municipal supply pressure rarely reaches the upper floors. A centrifugal set holds the duty point without cycling the pump on and off.
Cold and warm water circulation with steady head and low noise, matched to the resistance of the circuit rather than oversized.
Clear water and liquids with similar physical properties over long pipe runs, where head loss rather than flow sets the model.
Selection Guide
Flow in m3/h and total head in metres including static lift and pipe losses. Guessing high here is what causes throttled valves and wasted power later.
Clear water, hot water, thermal oil, chemical. Temperature and specific gravity decide the material and the seal, not the flow.
Horizontal for plant rooms with floor space, vertical inline where the pump sits directly in the pipe run and space is tight.
380 to 415 V three phase at 50 or 60 Hz is standard. Flanged connections are sized from the caliber, up to 500 mm on the largest model.
Answers
SKW is a direct coupled pump with the motor and pump body integrated, so it takes less floor space. SKS is the traditional arrangement with a coupling between motor and pump, which makes the seal easier to service without disturbing the motor.
80 degrees Celsius on the standard water models. The hot water models are rated higher and the thermal oil models in the high temperature line run to 350 degrees. Always state the working temperature in the enquiry.
These are clear liquid pumps with a free passage of a fraction of a millimetre. For sludge or liquid with fibre and solids use the rubber lobe or progressing cavity lines instead.
A mechanical seal with hard alloy rotating and stationary rings. Packing gland is available where the plant prefers to service a gland rather than change a cartridge.
Yes. Pumps are quoted as a set with the motor rated for the duty point, in 380 to 415 V three phase, 50 or 60 Hz. Tell us the site voltage and frequency with the enquiry.
Engineering Notes
Selection Guide
Both families move the same water. The choice is decided by floor space, pipework, maintenance access and how the set will be serviced in ten years.

Maintenance Guide
One seals better and costs more to replace. The other leaks by design and can be adjusted by anyone on site. Choose against the liquid and the maintenance team.

Selection Guide
Above 80 degrees the usual assumptions stop working. Seal choice, expansion, venting and material all move at once, and the pump is only part of the answer.
