Ocmis MFO 100 L PTO Driven Slurry Centrifugal Pumps

Overview

The Ocmis MFO 100 L is a PTO-driven slurry centrifugal pump manufactured in Italy, specifically engineered for agricultural and industrial applications requiring reliable pumping of slurry and dirty water with small percentages of suspended solids. Part of the MFO series designed for direct connection to diesel engines through a multiplier at different ratios, this pump delivers high performance even with low-rate engines. As a Version L slurry pump, it combines robust construction with efficient hydraulic design to handle challenging agricultural waste management and irrigation tasks with dirty water sources.

What distinguishes the MFO 100 L is its closed high flow rate impeller optimised for slurry with lower solids content, paired with advanced protective systems including silicon carbide mechanical seals with an external auxiliary lubrication tank. The pump features a sophisticated multiplier equipped with high-performance helical spur gears in an oil bath lubrication system, supported by double-row ball bearings and taper roller bearings for extended service life. An exclusive internal water circulation cooling system within the multiplier box ensures mechanical components maintain optimal operating temperatures during prolonged working periods under demanding conditions, making this pump ideal for intensive agricultural operations requiring dependable slurry transfer and dirty water pumping capabilities.

Key Features & Benefits

• Closed High Flow Rate Impeller: Specifically designed for Version L applications, this impeller configuration delivers excellent hydraulic efficiency when pumping slurry and dirty water with small percentages of suspended solids, maximising flow rates whilst minimising energy consumption.
• Silicon Carbide Mechanical Seal with Auxiliary Lubrication: Contact faces manufactured from silicon carbide provide exceptional wear resistance and extended seal life, whilst the external tank auxiliary lubrication system ensures consistent seal performance even when handling abrasive slurry materials.
• High-Performance Helical Spur Gear Multiplier: The advanced gearbox features two precision helical spur gears operating in an oil bath lubrication system, delivering smooth power transmission with reduced noise levels and extended component lifespan compared to conventional straight-cut gear designs.
• Integrated Bearing Support System: The pump shaft and driven pinion form a unified assembly supported by double-row ball bearings and taper roller bearings, providing superior load distribution and exceptional stability during operation with slurry and dirty water applications.
• Internal Water Circulation Cooling System: The exclusive cooling system circulates water through the multiplier box, effectively dissipating heat generated during operation and guaranteeing very long life of mechanical parts even during extended working periods under harsh agricultural conditions.
• Volute Design Pump Body: The single-impeller volute configuration with axial suction inlet and upward radial outlet position optimises hydraulic performance, whilst the optional 90-degree suction inlet rotation in both directions provides installation flexibility to suit diverse piping arrangements.
• Direct Diesel Engine Connection Capability: Engineered specifically for direct connection to diesel engines through the multiplier at various ratios, the MFO 100 L guarantees high performance even with lower-rated engines, reducing fuel consumption and operational costs.
• Robust Italian Construction: Manufactured in Italy by Ocmis with precision engineering and quality materials, this pump delivers the ideal combination of long-term durability and immediate performance for demanding agricultural slurry handling and irrigation operations.

Technical Specifications

Ideal Applications

• Agricultural Slurry Spreading: Efficiently pumps slurry with small percentages of suspended solids for distribution across agricultural fields, supporting nutrient management and soil fertilisation programmes on livestock farms.
• Dirty Water Transfer: Ideal for pumping dirty, muddy water from agricultural sources including drainage ditches, holding ponds, and settling basins where small amounts of suspended particles are present.
• Mobile Irrigation Systems: Provides reliable water supply for mobile irrigation equipment using non-pristine water sources, combining the flow capacity needed for effective field coverage with the durability to handle less-than-clean water conditions.
• Agricultural Waste Management: Supports farm waste handling operations by efficiently transferring liquid agricultural waste materials with low solids content between storage facilities, treatment systems, and application equipment.
• Fixed Irrigation Plants: Serves as a dependable pumping solution for permanent irrigation installations using water sources that may contain small amounts of sediment or organic matter, ensuring consistent performance throughout growing seasons.
• Light Industrial Transfer Applications: Suitable for industrial environments requiring transfer of liquids with minimal suspended particles, offering the robustness and reliability needed for continuous operation in demanding production settings.
