Industry leading low vibration

Floway Pumps is dedicated to manuacturing pumps

with industry leading low vibration levels. We oer

Precision Machined Low Vibration (PMLV ™) pumps with

vibration levels at one hal o the standards set by the

Hydraulic Institute.

PMLV eatures:

Premium machined and balanced motor •

Specially toleranced motor coupling machined by•

alignment

Impellers balanced per API 610•

Reduced run-out on motor base•

Extends MTBF by more than 200%•

Flow testing

A major engineering unction o any pump manuacturer

is hydraulic low testing under a variety o operational

conditions. Testing ensures that pump perormance

matches speciications and that all components are

operating properly.

Testing and analysis capabilities include:

In house manuacturing capabilities

Fabrication - The Floway Pumps abrication acility is

staed by ASME Boiler Code Section IX certiied welders.

Machining - Computer controlled lathes, large boring

mills, and individual production equipment ensure an

eicient and lexible manuacturing process.

Balancing - Dynamic and static balancing o rotating

elements ensure low vibration perormance

Final Assembly - All pump components are assembled

to customer speciications or top eiciency, long service

lie, and high quality appearance.

Customer ocused product development

As a service to our customers, Floway Pumps has

developed speciication selection programs to allow

customers to speciy projects and product details.

The SCORE selector program is a web based program

which allows customers to search pump selection by

low and head speciics.

The Floway Pumps speciication tools can be accessed

through www.weirminerals.com.

Quality assurance

Quality control never ends at Floway. It begins withthe quotation phase and continues throughout the

order process, manuacturing phase, warranty period,

customer ollow-up and service. This dedication to

quality has given us the reputation or having one o the

inest products in the vertical turbine pump industry.

Floway is certifed to ISO 9001 and 14001, and OHSAS

18001management systems.
