1.1 Intended use
Richter pumps of the series MNK-X, MNK-XB and
SCK-X are plastic-lined centrifugal pumps for the con-
veyance of aggressive, toxic, pure and inflammable
liquids.
Vortex pumps are preferably used with highly solids-
laden media.
Field of application:
For media with
high solids content, depending on the grain size
and condition
particle sizes of roughly 10 – 20 mm, depending on
the pump size
long-fibre constituents
gas contents of up to 5 % by vol. If gas is entrained
in an explosive area, it must be ensured that no
explosive atmosphere enters the pump as a result
of the gas conveyed.
In view of the large number of possible parti-
cle properties (size, shape, density etc.) it is
not possible to delimit the solids accurately in
advance.
Richter therefore recommends the use of motor load
monitors, for example, to monitor the pump power.
1.2 Name plate
The stainless steel name plate is firmly riveted to the
bearing pedestal.
If the customer attaches his identification, it must be
ensured that the pump matches the application in
question.

3 Product description
The housing dimensions, power ratings and technical
requirements of the pump series MNK-X, MNK-XB
and SCK-X comply with ISO 2858 / DIN EN 22858 /
ISO 15783 / DIN ISO 5199. The technical require-
ments of VDMA 24279 are satisfied. The sectional drawing shows the vortex design.
See Section 7.1.
All components which come into contact with the
medium are either plastic-lined or made of other
resistant materials, e.g. silicon carbide.
