Pumps promise answer to dry running
The Argal Route range of seal-less magnetic driven chemical pumps can accommodate dry running when fitted with carbon HD bearing bushes.
Self priming pumps remove chemical spills
The Argal ZM-ZMA range of thermoplastic self priming pumps ensure that chemical spills can be pumped away with the minimum of fuss.
Based on the recommendations laid down in the 3A sanitary standards, the Qualified Hygienic Design principles (QHD) and The European Hygienic Engineering Design Group (EHEDG), the flexibility of the pump is unmatched, with the ability to combine standard components to customise the pump to meet every requirement.
The unique rotor mounting design incorporates precision ground cylinders as drive and rotor location device.
The benefit of this is a very accurate connection between rotor and shaft that eliminates any play.
A choice of rotor design: encompasses uni-wing rotors - for gentle solids handling and doughy products; standard bi-wing rotors - a robust and popular choice for most applications; and cycloidal multi-lobe rotors - offering low shear and gentle product handling with the lowest pulsation levels achievable with lobe pumps.
The Novalobe is designed to minimise downtime for easy service.
The seal is front loaded and mounted on a replaceable shaft sleeve in a cartridge arrangement.
The seal options cater for different applications and media.
The pump has the benefit of being installed either horizontally or vertically depending on the system - however, mounted vertically the pumps comply with sterile specifications to ensure full drainability.
All pumps are designed with an optimum for robust construction, minimising the shaft deflection and any play in the pump.
All pumps are designed for differential pressure up to 16bar which keeps galling to a minimum.
