The Azcue BT-LS-H Long Coupled Triple Screw Pump is a large, heavy duty model characterised by its significantly higher flow capabilities than the other screw pumps in the Azcue range The BT-LS range is technically optimised for the high efficiency handling of low viscosity fuel down to 1.5cst at 40°C (ISO8217:2005) as well as low sulphur 0.1% (EU/SECA-33-EC) as per the new specifications indicated in the in EU directive 2005/33/EC.This, combined with its high flow makes the BT-LS self priming screw pump ideal for the transfer of large volumes of low sulphur fuels.

Being long coupled, these self priming screw pumps are easier to maintain as you can get to the pump head without removing the motor first, and are also more durable for continuous use as it has additional bearings in the pump head to share the strain of operation. This triple screw pump is horizontal in design with inline suction and discharge.

The nature of the screw pump design means it can be used where suction capabilities are difficult such as pumping over long distances or where the pump is located above the fluid.

Features of the BT Series Screw Pump:

• High flow, long coupled self priming screw pump
• Pump manufactured in Spain
• Marine type approved by all classification societies
• Additional bearings in pump head to share the strain of operation
• Inline ports, supplied flanged as standard
• Horizontal orientation
• Mechanical seal as standard - magnetic coupling on request

The BT-LS Long Coupled Screw Pumpis manufactured by Azcue Pumps. As the official UK Agent of Azcue Pumps, Castle Pumps are a leading Bombas Azcue supplier in the UK with unrivalled technical knowledge. Azcue Pumps are a European manufacturer with over 100 years’ experience in type approved pumps for marine and offshore applications. Today their pumps are installed in more than 10,000 vessel builds. Whilst originally developed for the marine market, Azcue Pumps’ reliability in applications that depend upon the safety and operation of a ship saw them become a desirable product in industrial applications involving water, fuels and lubricants.

One of the key benefits of the BT-LS triple screw pump like the other models in the Azcue range, is that is benefits from interchangeable parts for reduced on board stockholding. We guarantee supply of spares for 15 years from model discontinuation for long term pump servicing, saving the user from having to prematurely replace a pump that just needs maintenance.

Azcue BT-LS pump are cast, machined and assembled at their foundry in Spain. Each pump is manufactured to order and designed to fit your process, resulting in greater efficiency and lower overall lifetime cost in terms of wear and energy consumption. Before leaving the factory, pumps are individually tested to confirm performance meets the requirements set out in your enquiry.

The viscosity of lubricating fluids such as fuels and oils can change with a change in the temperature, unlike fluids such as water. Whereas a centrifugal pump’s performance is affected by fluctuations in the viscosity of the fluid, screw pumps operate just as efficiently. For that reason, given the Azcue BT-LS's extremely high flow capabilities, this triple screw pump is ideal for the following applications:
