3 DESCRIPTION
The MNV/MNZ type pumps are single stage, volute
type, dry pit, centrifugal pumps designed for handling
sewage, storm water, dry dock and industrial waste
applications with end suction side discharge mix flow
non-clog design.
It should be noted that unscreened raw sewage may
introduce some chances of clogging and therefore
clogging may be totally avoided, if appropriate level
of screening is applied.
• Pump type MNV (with the suction elbow )
• Pump type MNZ (with the suction nozzle )
These are end suction side discharge mix flow non-
clog pump. The information contained in this book
covers long shafted pumps where the pump and
driver are installed separately connected by one or
multiple shafting using universal joints (some
exceptional cases may have rigid or geared
couplings). Type MNV is fitted with a suction elbow
and MNZ with a suction nozzle.
