Double volute and opposed impeller
construction
The DMX pump features a heavy-duty, axially split casing with
double volute hydraulic passages for radial thrust balance.
Furthermore, its opposed impeller mounting provides axial thrust
balance. Consequently, detrimental shaft deflection and vibration
