Gearbox chosen for construction pumps
Myers-Set felt the WM wormgear could meet the demanding needs of its double-diaphragm construction pumps.
Myers-Seth was looking for a replacement gearbox to drive its four-inch diaphragm pump, a rugged rubbish pump that is designed to work in the harshest environments such as dewatering, well pointing, sewage bypass and tank transfer applications The WM wormgear was selected for the job due to its high ratings and therefore long life
The WM unit is driven by the single-cylinder diesel engine and is fitted with a rigidly fitted output shaft arrangement.
Each output shaft is fitted with an off set eccentric which operates one of the two diaphragms at a time.
The double-diaphragm pump eccentrics are driven by the WM gear unit and are alternatively filled and emptied by fluid that is drawn in through a suction inlet and discharged through a common outlet.
The WM unit is specially modified for the customer's application and is finished in black paint.
