Framo SD125 / SD150 Cargo Pump Spares

The Framo SD125 and SD150 are hydraulically driven submerged cargo pumps fitted to chemical and product tankers, where one pump sits at the bottom of each cargo tank and discharges independently. The number designates the nominal hydraulic motor frame, with the SD150 handling higher flow than the SD125; both share the same architectural family of volute casing, impeller, wear ring, cargo shaft seal set and submerged hydraulic motor. The cargo-side sealing arrangement is a double lip seal that must withstand static head pressure and chemical attack from the cargo, while the hydraulic side is isolated by a cofferdam and a mechanical seal rated for system pressures up to 320 bar. Wear rings set the running clearance between the impeller and the volute casing; as that clearance opens through service, stripping performance and discharge rate fall, which is why the wear ring is replaced on a defined overhaul interval rather than on failure. Sourcing the correct parts requires the pump model and the casing revision, because Framo has issued multiple drawing revisions across the SD125 and SD150 production life, and a ring cut for one revision will not set the correct clearance in another. This series page lists the curated, identifier-anchored parts that make up a typical SD125 or SD150 overhaul, each carrying its drawing or identifier so a purchaser can verify fitment before raising a request for quote.

Overhaul scope

A typical SD125/SD150 overhaul replaces the volute wear ring, the cargo shaft seal set, and the mechanical hydraulic seal, and inspects the impeller and submerged motor. Clearances are checked against the casing-revision drawing before reassembly.

Cargo compatibility

Seal elastomers must be selected for the carried cargo — acids, solvents and vegetable oils each demand different lip-seal materials. Specifying the cargo grades at quote time prevents premature seal hardening and leakage.

Maintenance notes

Replace wear rings and cargo seal sets on a fixed overhaul interval; do not substitute individual seal elements across cargo types. Always purge the cofferdam and verify the shaft backstop unit before recommissioning a submerged pump.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between the SD125 and SD150?
Both are submerged cargo pumps from the same family; the SD150 has a larger hydraulic motor frame and higher flow than the SD125.
Why does casing revision matter when ordering a wear ring?
Framo issued multiple casing drawing revisions; a ring cut for one revision will not set the correct impeller clearance in another.
Which parts make up a standard overhaul?
The wear ring, cargo shaft seal set and mechanical hydraulic seal, with inspection of the impeller and submerged motor.
