The HPA line Foras is a Horizontal Multistage Pump range with “ring section” design. 
 
This family of pumps is designed to operate in heavy-duty conditions and with very high pressures and with temperatures up to 180°C. The great choice of materials, the different kinds of sealing on the shaft and the various lubrication solutions for the pump’s bearings, make this line very versatile and ideal for many uses in the industrial, energy and water processing fields. Water booster sets, irrigation systems, potable water distribution plants are the most common applications
 
Main fields of application:
Pressure raising groups in the building and construction sector
Firefighting and applications with diesel engines
Mining and ATEX applications
Service facilities in the petrochemical sectors, Energy
Geothermal plants
Boiler feed
Water desalination by reverse Osmosis
Filtration and ultrafiltration plants
Water treatment plants
 
All pumps are end-of-line tested to ensure the correct operation of the installation. The hydraulic performance are controlled and guaranteed according to ISO 9906 grade 3B.
 
Main characteristics:
- High hydraulic efficiency, up to 80%
- Balancing drum, placed on the discharge casing, which effectively compensates the axial thrust produced by the impellers
- Versatile sealing system: which is available as packing, single Mechanical or Balanced Mechanical, other special types upon request
- The pumps’ bearings are available with grease or oil lubrication in order to assure a long operating life
- Wear rings: they are available both fixed as well as rotating, in various materials, with hardening treatments

Special materials and seal executions are available on demand.
