1. Overview
SVI is a vertical-axis pump with submersible body. The model identification code, shown in the order form
and on the name plate, is self-explanatory as regards the main characteristics and construction mate-
rials, as follows:
SVI
16
06 / 06
Always specify the exact model identification code, along with the construction number, whenever you
request technical information or spare parts from our Sales and Service Department
The instructions given below concern the standard version; refer to the sales contract documentation for
modifications and special version characteristics.
For proper pump installation and use follow the instructions in this booklet and all local regulations.
Pay careful attention to recommendations appearing next to symbols
They concern safety !
2. Handling
Handle the pump carefully using the eye-bolts on the motor, if provided.
3. Applications
SVI pumps are typically used to pump cooling and lubricating emulsions in machine tools. They are also
used in washing, filtering and condensate recovery systems, and in all those applications where a sub-
mersible liquid end is required.
4. Application limits
Not suitable for handling: - Flammable or explosive liquids
Not suitable for handling liquids containing solid, abrasive or fibrous substances
Pumped fluids should have the same viscosity and density as water. Fluids having greater viscosity and
density require a suitably oversized electric motor. Maximum kinematic viscosity in compliance with
EN12157.

- 10°C to +90 °C for "S" and "N" versions with coupling
- 10°C to +60°C for close-coupled "E" versions
T = three-phase (M = single-phase)
55 = motor power in kWx10 (final digit 6 = 60 Hz) – (final digit 4 = 4 poles)
E = close-coupled version (extended shaft)
S = version with coupling (stub shaft)
N = AISI 316 version with coupling
