The APV Ws+ uses a unique design that combines the abilities of most liquid
as in chemical, healthcare, pharmaceutical ring pumps with the efficiencies of the W+ centrifugal series. As a result
customers can now handle entrained air and lift requirements with lower power
processing and heavy industries. consumption, less noise and at lower cost.

The Ws+ employs a unique air screw, spinning in an eccentric arranged priming
liquid chamber, and a recirculation loop to generate the liquid ring required to
handle aerated product and produce a vacuum in the suction pipe. The design
allows the use of standard centrifugal pump components to configure the pump
to a specific duty point to produce efficiencies previously unobtainable with liquid
rings. Impellers can be trimmed to further reduce power consumption.

The result is:

1. Higher efficiency
2. Decreased power consumption Air screw

3. Simpler components
4. Less noise

 Typical Applications
The piping loops, that are typically required for traditional liquid ring
pumps in CIP applications, can often be avoided with the Ws+ pump
due to the horizontal inlet.
Furthermore, because of the open impeller design, the Ws+ pump
is particle friendly. Small objects can pass through the pump with
minimal damage.

because of its first class hygienic design.
The pumps are equipped with a shaft seal that is ideal for hygienic
applications.

Extended Hydraulic Range:
The Ws+ range consists of 3 basic models – Ws+20/15, Ws+30/30 and Ws+44/50 - with pressure and flow capacities to 6,5 bar
(50 Hz) and to 90 m3/h (50 Hz).

The use of a conventional open impeller design ensures a flexible flow range enabling adjustment of performance to application. A
Ws+ pump can be optimized the same way as a conventional end-suction centrifugal pump.

Va r i at i o n s o f t h e W +
Whp+ high pressure pumps
Designed to withstand system pressures up to 60 bar. The Whp+ pump’s sturdy construction increases stability and dampens
vibrations.

Wi+ Inducer pumps

Provide a built in “booster pump” feeding the main impeller. Reduces the NPSH requirement by 50-70%. Handles higher viscosity
products and entrained air more efficiently.

Wa+ aseptic pumps

Are ultra hygienic and designed for applications that require steam sterilization at all connections.

The inducer in a Wi+ pump rotates in a close-

fitting housing to provide the “booster” effect.

The Whp+ pump casing is a

heavy duty construction in SS
316L with a bolted flange.
