Flowserve Pump Division Releases Lifetime Guaranteed Prima³™ Power End

The Flowserve Corporation announces the release of its new Prima3 Power End. Fashioned after the field-proven and widely accepted Durco ANSI 3A power end, the heavy-duty Prima3 is adaptable to any ANSI chemical process pump, regardless of original manufacturer. Its performance is backed by the industry's first lifetime warranty.

The Prima3 Power End provides pump users with the ability to increase uptime and reduce operating and maintenance costs by standardizing on a single, reliable power end for all ANSI pumps. The benefits of standardizing on the Prima3 include:

• Reduced spare power frame and parts inventories
  
• Reduced purchasing and transaction costs
  
• Reduced warehouse time and space
  
• Reduced repair times and maintenance training

In addition to simplifying maintenance and repair, the Prima3 Power End improves pump reliability, as evidenced by its unprecedented lifetime warranty. The Prima3 boasts the largest shaft and bearing components available in standard ANSI pumps. Furthermore, the Prima3 Power End is assembled in a certified clean room and uses Inpro/Seal's VBXX non-contact Vapor Block Bearing Isolators to keep lubricants in and contaminants out.

Flowserve offers a full range of services to complement the Prima3 including remanufacturing programs, exchange programs and upgrade and re-rate services.

Currently the Prima3 is pre-engineered to fit any Goulds 3196 pump. Other pump lines will be added as demand requires.

For detailed terms and conditions regarding the Prima3 lifetime warranty, please contact your local Flowserve representative. For information about the new Prima3 brochure or any other Flowserve product literature contact:
