Ensuring easy maintenance and long-term reliability, the Azcue MO Close Coupled Side Channel Pump is designed for demanding applications. This pump is manufactured in Spain and is marine type-approved by all classification societies, making it suitable for a wide range of industrial and marine uses. The MO pump is part of a line known for its robustness and versatility, featuring a back pull-out design that allows the motor to be removed without dismantling the entire pump, saving time and effort during maintenance. It also includes a lantern bracket, providing a barrier between the pump head and motor to prevent fluid from entering the motor if the seal wears out. The pump’s multistage design offers high-pressure and suction capabilities with low flow, making it ideal for pressure boosting and water supply applications. Additionally, the MO pump can handle up to 50% gas content, making it well-suited for condensate extraction and other applications requiring handling of entrained air. Available in cast iron, 316 stainless steel, and bronze, the MO series is built to withstand various corrosive environments, including seawater service. With separate shafts in the pump and motor, and additional bearings to share operational strain, the MO pump ensures durability and reliability in continuous use.

Inspection

Inspector Detail

Common issues

  • Mechanical seal wear from dry-running or entrained gas/vapour service
  • Impeller/side-channel clearance wear reducing head and flow performance over time
  • Cavitation from insufficient NPSH available on high-suction-lift vapour extraction duty
  • Bearing wear from misalignment or coupling imbalance
  • Casing erosion from entrained solids or scale in the pumped medium

Inspection checklist

  • Check achieved head/flow against the curve at the operating point
  • Inspect the mechanical seal for leakage during running
  • Check bearing temperature and vibration during running
  • Inspect coupling alignment and condition
  • Check NPSH available versus required for the duty, especially at high suction lift
  • Inspect casing and impeller for erosion/wear at scheduled overhaul

Service intervals

Mechanical seal inspectionannually or at first sign of leakage
Performance check (head/flow)annually
Bearing lubrication/replacementtypically every 1-2 years depending on running hours
Coupling/alignment checkat overhaul or after any disturbance
Internal clearance check (impeller/casing)condition-based, at major overhaul

Typical intervals for this design class, not the manufacturer’s figures for your model. The manufacturer’s manual is binding.

Critical spares

  • Mechanical seal kit
  • Impeller/side-channel wear rings
  • Shaft bearings
  • Coupling element
  • Casing gasket/O-ring set

Safety

  • Confirm the pumped medium's flammability classification before hot work or seal maintenance nearby if this pump serves a vapour extraction/recovery duty
  • Elevated discharge pressure up to the pump's rated max head means a seal or casing failure can release pressurised, potentially flammable liquid or vapour
  • Verify dry-running protection is functional given the pump's low-flow/vapour duty

Class survey

Where this pump serves a cargo vapour recovery or similar cargo-related duty, it falls under the vessel's cargo system survey requirements; function and performance testing, along with any associated gas detection interlocks, should be verified and documented at survey.

For marine equipment hardly any maker or authorised dealer will name a price while the vessel is unknown. With the vessel details, availability and price can be settled faster; without them we may have to ask first, which costs a few days. If you are not allowed to name the vessel, a photo of the rating plate is enough — attach it below or send it as a reply to our confirmation e-mail.
