  • The AMG pump unit, a BB3 axially split process pump, is in the final phase of production in the Apollo Goessnitz GmbH production hall.

    AMG03

The Apollo-AMG process pump, which complies with API 610 Type BB3, is a horizontal, multistage, axially split, high-pressure pump. It is characterised by its robust housing design and construction, and its long service life. The back-to-back rotor minimises axial thrust, and the optimised rotor dynamics ensure safe operation at high speeds. This guarantees efficiency and performance in critical operating environments.

It is designed for demanding applications in the energy, oil and gas industries, as well as in chemical process engineering, power and water treatment plants, and petrochemical plants.

Axially split high-pressure pump with centre support on both sides: Offers increased stability and service life.

Counter-rotating impellers: Ensure optimum axial thrust compensation and reduce mechanical stress.

Specialised NPSH impeller in the first stage: Optimises cavitation characteristics and improves pump performance.

Bearing design: Available with roller or plain bearings for flexible use and increased operating comfort.

Reduced downtime: The axially split housing allows maintenance and inspection work to be carried out while the lower part remains on the pipeline; dismantling of the coupling is not necessary.

We offer materials such as cast steel, chrome steels, austenitic steels, duplex, super duplex, titanium and special alloys in accordance with NORSOK and NACE standards, which provide maximum corrosion and wear resistance.

Selection is made on a customer-specific basis to ensure optimum adaptation to respective process conditions.
