Abyzz has just unveiled a brand-new product, the Abyzz Flow Cannon AFC150, which they will begin shipping next week from their German headquarters. From the company:

Product description

The innovative Abyzz Flow Cannon AFC150 “compact” with its high-end design including a titanium rotor unit and titanium housing consists of the pump itself and a powerful and programmable driver. Containing a very energy efficient motor and providing the exact adjustment for your application, it offers a very energy-saving solution.

The integrated bearing flushing provides optimum protection against calcification and, in conjunction
with the silicon carbide bearings and special hard metal shaft, ensures low-maintenance operation.

All metal parts are made out of titanium grade 2 and other parts are made out of high quality plastics.
This composition ensures a long lifetime, thus granting highest sustainability and lowest carbon footprint. Several mounting options are offered to suit any needs and due to many available mounting points, even a customer specific mounting can be done very easily. The special prop design and a well designed hydraulic lets the pump operate with almost no noise or vibration. The integrated flow straightener provides a laminar and powerful water movement. Easy programming (as in any Abyzz pump) and the possibility to link to external controllers offers a wide field of application.

The materials used are designed to have a long lifetime and meet the highest requirements and quality standards. This product is developed and manufactured in Germany by venotec.
