The recent acquisition by Wilden Pumps of Griswold Pump Company, the USA-based manufacturer of centrifugal pumps, has created a new business opportunity for AxFlow UK. As part of its distribution agreement with Wilden, AxFlow is to take on the distribution of the Griswold 811 pump range in the UK.
Griswold manufactures ANSI centrifugal pumps for use in the petroleum, petrochemical, wastewater and paper pulp industries.
Tony Peters, AxFlow's managing director, comments: "The Griswold 811 ANSI range has a great reputation within industry sectors where harsh operating conditions are routinely encountered and where extended equipment life is demanded. AxFlow will be supplying the 811 in a wide range of sizes, capacities and materials, so we shall be able to serve many different processing applications. Models are available with a choice of low-flow vane impeller and fully open impeller, thereby accommodating both low flow conditions and liquids containing solids and abrasives that seriously reduce the performance of enclosed impellers."
