Maxima-K series pumps are built to high quality standards and hve the ability to handle large amounts of condensibles. The condensing effect increases the actual pump capacity dramatically when handling saturated gas mixtures. The Maxima-K design utilizes flat portplates mounted on each side of the impeller which has proven to be a superior design as opposed to conical design liquid ring pumps where tapered cones are situated inside the impeller to act as distributors. The clearances between cones and impeller are very critical for maximum performance, but the surfaces are very susceptible to wear. In case of a bearing failure the conical design pump is subject to serious and costly damage to internal parts which is not the case with the flat port plate design Maxima-K pumps.
