ITT Goulds Pumps
ICO Open Impeller i-FRAME Pump
The Goulds ICO is the semi-open impeller member of the IC i-FRAME family of ISO chemical process pumps. Built to ISO 5199 and ISO 2858, it is made for process liquids that carry solids, fibers, and dirt: services where a standard enclosed-impeller pump would clog or wear quickly.
Product Benefits
- Semi-open impeller: The precision-cast semi-open impeller gives contaminated liquids a clear path through the pump, improving reliability on fibrous and dirty services.
- Flush-free seal chamber: The patented Cyclone seal chamber keeps solids and vapors away from the seal faces and can handle a meaningful share of both without an external flush, which saves flush water and simplifies piping.
- Built-in condition monitoring: Every pump carries an i-ALERT2 condition monitor on the two-piece i-FRAME power end, so vibration and temperature trends are visible before they become failures.
- Warranty and serviceability: The power end is backed by an extended factory warranty, and the back pull-out design keeps maintenance straightforward.
Where It's Used
- Fibrous and dirty liquids: Typical services are fibrous stock and solids-laden process liquids, exactly the kind of duty found throughout pulp and paper mills.
- ISO interchangeability: It suits plants that want ISO-standard dimensional interchangeability.
- Extra contamination tolerance: It offers more contamination tolerance than an enclosed-impeller process pump.
Good to Know
- Modular hydraulic range: The range is modular, with many hydraulic sizes spread across several bearing frames, so a close fit to the duty point is usually available.
- Material choices: Materials run from carbon steel and stainless steels through duplex, Alloy 20, Hastelloy, Nickel, and Titanium.
- Managed axial loads: The impeller is key-driven with back vanes or balance holes to manage axial loads, and seal chambers, baseplates, and flange drilling follow the corresponding ISO standards.
- Shared IC design: It shares its design DNA with the enclosed-impeller IC, making it easy to standardize both variants in one plant.
