Franklin Electric EV Vertical multistage pumps with new design

Franklin Electric presents an improved design of its vertical multistage pumps. Robustness and reliability have been further improved with new components. In addition, the new design features simplified handling thanks to the new cartridge mechanical seal and reduced noise emissions, making the pump the ideal solution for any pressure boosting application.

In terms of continuous improvement, Franklin Electric engineers have made changes to the design and components to further optimize features:

High performance Pressure-boosting for flows up to 115 m³/h (50 Hz), 140 m³/h (60 Hz)

The pump is available in 10 models with different flow rates and heads. All pumps are WRAS and ACS certified and compatible with commercially available motors.

Reliability and robustness
All wetted parts of the multistage pumps are made of stainless steel. This makes the pump enormously robust and reliable. The new cartridge mechanical seal also increases the strength and reliability of the pump.

Reduced noise emission
The noise emission of the new EV series has been greatly reduced. This makes the pump a silent partner in your daily life in many different applications.

Simple and fast maintenance thanks to removable cartridge mechanical seal

The new mechanical seal also allows the maintenance time of the system to be significantly reduced, as it can be completely replaced. For motors of 5.5 kW and above, it is not even necessary to remove the motor to replace the mechanical seal.
For motors up to 4 kW, the improved design eliminates the need for a thrust bearing. This also allows the pump to be combined with commercially available motors.
Last but not least, a single spare parts code for the mechanical seal ensures simplified stock-keeping.

Easy installation in-line ports

The EV series is available with different pressure and suction connections:

• Oval flange
• Round flange

Merger of Franklin Electric and Coverco

We are pleased to inform you that the companies Franklin Electric S.r.l. and Coverco S.r.l. will merge in the future, effective April 1^st 2021. The activities of the Franklin Electric Group in Italy will henceforth be combined. The resulting company will keep its current address and VAT registration as follows: Franklin Electric S.r.l., Via Asolo, 7, Dueville (VI), Italy, VAT: (IT) 00558130241. The location in Motta di Livenza (TV), Via Magnadola 29, former Coverco S.r.l., will remain as the Distribution Center South of the Franklin Electric Group.

This is another step for Franklin Electric EMENA to be a reliable full-service provider and partner for its customers in Europe, North Africa and the Middle East.

The Coverco product brand and its proven products will remain unchanged. 

Back in 2002, Coverco became part of the global Franklin Electric family and has since completed the product portfolio with 4" and 6" rewindable oil-filled motors which are recognized in the market for their robustness and reliability. High efficiency and long durability ensure low operating costs on the long-term. The rewindable feature is ensured by a design that allows the motors to be disassembled and reassembled. The motors are available from 0.37 up to 30 kW as single and three phase versions. Coverco control boxes will also continue to be available to assist operations of the submersible motors while protecting them from environmental agents.

Distribution Center South in Motta di Livenza

In recent years, the Motta di Livenza site has served as a logistics location while products were manufactured in Brno/Czech Republic. In 2020, the logistics activities have been expanded and consolidated in Motta di Livenza for the Italian locations. By concentrating all materials for Southern Europe in the new Logistic Distribution Center South, the availability of the inventory and the storage capacity has been further increased.

More than 75 years after the establishment of Franklin Electric, we continue to manufacture and distribute improved versions of this unrivaled motor design all around the world, and have expanded our expertise to create innovative solutions, including pumps, electronics, and adjacent products, addressing modern industry challenges and serving our customers’ needs.
