MODULAR PUMPS SERVING INDUSTRY

SuperNova
The SIHI range of pumps has been developed in response to customer
requirements for pumps that meet EN 733/DIN 24255 and ISO 9908. Some
designs meet EN 22858/DIN 24256. They are available in a number of different
materials and are suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, offering
high reliability, high efficiency, low NPSH, resulting in low operating costs.
The SuperNova range is based upon Sterlings proven and well respected range
of industrial centrifugal pumps which operate in thousands of locations around
the world. SuperNova combines the best features of these pumps whilst
offering significant improvements in modularity, interchangeability, reliability
and ease of maintenance.

Industrial pumps of the SIHISuperNova range are single-stage volute and double volute casing pumps with dimensions to
EN 733/DIN 24255 and designs that meet the technical requirements of ISO 9908 and ISO 5199/EN 25199. Some
designs meet EN 22858/DIN 24256. This modular industrial pump consists of 50 hydraulic sizes with closed impellers up
to a transnorm size of 300 500.

Due to the modular design of the SIHISuperNova, it can be built in a bare shaft, close-coupled or in-line configuration
with numerous shaft sealing options including packed glands, mechanical seals and magnetic couplings.

FEATURE BENEFIT
Modular design Low inventories, short delivery times

Shaft deflection complies with ISO 5199 Higher mean time between failure and extended
pump life

High efficiency Reduced power consumption

Low NPSH Reduced installation costs

Interchangeable components Ease of maintenance

Global service network Local and rapid support

SuperNova family Ease of sourcing/wide range of applications

Complies with ATEX legislation Suitable for explosive atmospheres
