Balancing machine for pumps
Automated measuring and balancing for modern series production
Pump rotors are at the heart of industrial pumps and are used in a wide range of applications, from water and wastewater technology to chemical and industrial processes, energy and supply systems. To ensure that pumps in these sensitive areas operate reliably, energy-efficiently and permanently, their rotors must be precisely balanced.
Hofmann balancing machines for pumps are specially designed to meet the high demands of series production. They combine maximum measuring accuracy with automated processes so that balancing processes can be carried out not only quickly and reproducibly, but also particularly economically. Intelligent measuring systems precisely detect unbalances, calculate the optimum correction and control the correction process. The result is smooth running conditions, less wear, a longer pump service life and a significant reduction in energy consumption and operating costs.
Thanks to their modular design and flexible configuration options, the machines can be adapted to a wide range of pump sizes, rotor geometries and production requirements. Whether small quantities or high-volume series, Hofmann offers a scalable solution that can be optimally integrated into existing production processes.

Efficient systems for pump rotors in series production
Hofmann's machine concept for pump rotors has been specially developed to meet the requirements of series production. Thanks to its compact and robust design and free choice of location, it can be seamlessly integrated into existing production lines. The fully automatic processing sequence increases efficiency, reduces manual work steps and guarantees a permanently high level of process reliability.
One particular advantage is the easy-to-change clamping concept. Different pump rotors can be adapted quickly and easily so that the machine can be adapted to new production requirements at any time. The NVW-B therefore combines maximum automation with the flexibility that modern production environments require.

Type NVW-B
The vertical 1-level balancing machine type NVW B has been specially developed for the precise measurement and correction of unbalance on pump rotors in series production. As a displacement measuring system, it offers maximum accuracy and process reliability with efficient operation.
Particularly noteworthy are their flexibility and ease of conversion, which allows different pump rotors to be adapted quickly. Depending on requirements, unbalance correction is achieved by axial drilling or milling in the cover plate. This means that the NVW B works reliably, reproducibly and optimally adapted to the requirements of modern production environments.
