Highlights “Warm Box”

Continuous duty:
More than 600 references on the five continents running continuously.

Legendary reliability:
Preferred high duty, high performance process pumps by all major industrial
gas companies.

Temperature insulation and stability:

The VP is mounted on its “COLD BOX FLANGE” with a unique isolating flange
in a “Composite” material for rigid mounting of the complete machine on the
cold box and an efficient temperature break.

Continuous cold stand-by:

Closed and purged distance piece; this is the “Warm Box” execution avoiding any humidity penetration and ice building.
Permanent standby in cold conditions with the bearing heating system. The pump is kept ready for an immediate restart any time.
