Pump identification
Since the foundation of the company in 1897, Pompe Gabbioneta has been engaged in design and
manufacture of high quality centrifugal pumps.
The products and the markets served progressively changed from water to chemical industry and finally,
in the last thirty years, to API 610 heavy duty pumps for refinery and petrochemical industries.
The product development is based on a thorough interchange of marketing and operating experience
within the company and in close cooperation with project and plant engineers.
The manufacturing is made in a factory equipped with several modern cnc machines and machine tools,
special note has to be given to the machining centers where pump casings can be machined
completely with only two settings.
In house facilities are designed to meet the performance and NPSH testing requirements of all pumps
manufactured in the company in full compliance with API 610 standards.
A quality assurance system certified in accordance with ISO 9001 is granting the achievement
of highest quality for manufactured pumps.

The VBN, VBN-DS line heavy duty process pumps, available in double - casing or wet pit
configurations, are multistage, diffuser type, fully designed according to latest edition of API 610 Std.
Pump components geometry, optimised through hydraulic, structural, thermal and dynamic F.E.M.
analysis, lead to an high product reliability. Particularly to avoid dangerous resonances, the F.E.M.
dynamic analysis is carried out on all manufactured pumps taking into account the proper site
operating conditions.
Main design features are:
Closed type impeller with front and rear wear rings as well as balancing holes, to minimise the
axial thrust.
Large eye single suction or double suction 1st. stage impeller to meet low NPSH requirements.
Number of stages rangeable from 1 to 14.
Pump shaft in one or at the maximum two pieces, fully machined to respect the more restrictive
run-out API limits.
As a standard, the rotor axial thrust is supported by a duplex oil lubricated ball
angular contact type bearings.
Renewable bushings are provided at all interstage and columns.
Deep stuffing boxes, designed in accordance to API 682 Std., suitable
to accept any type of mechanical or packing seal.
Labyrinths and deflectors at either bearing housing to maximise
protection against dirt.
