BTR

Crew members and engineers on board ships rely heavily on reliable pumps for maintaining critical operations such as sewage management and cargo handling. The Azcue BTR Grinding/Cutting Vertical Immersion Pump is a key component in these systems. Designed with a fixed cutting disk and sharp impeller, it efficiently grinds and obliterates solids up to 30mm in size, ensuring smooth operation even when dealing with viscous or dirty mediums like sewage and food waste. This pump’s vertical cantilever design keeps the motor above the liquid level, offering a flooded suction that prevents air locks and cavitation. With a maximum flow rate of 80m³/h and a head capacity of 10 meters, it can handle solids with ease in applications where space is limited or suction distance is an issue. Engineered for marine use by Azcue Pumps, a European manufacturer with over a century of experience, the BTR pump is certified by all major classification societies and comes in durable materials like cast iron, 316 stainless steel, and bronze suitable for seawater. Its oil-filled column ensures mechanical seal cooling even at temperatures up to 80°C, making it an essential tool for both marine and industrial settings where reliability is paramount.
