Elastomer coated rotary lobe pumps

Published:  10 May, 2016

AXF_308_LB_section.jpgAXFLOW has announced it has extended its range of positive displacement pumps with the introduction of the LB suite of elastomer coated rotary lobe pumps for flows of between 5m³/hr to 130m³/hr. AxFlow says the LB pump has been designed from scratch following an assessment of products currently on the market with a view to producing a process quality pump, positioned above the more agricultural designs yet without attracting the high costs of high end products.

The LB range offers a combination of innovative features. Ergonomic rotors designed in conjunction with Universitat Autonoma in Barcelona, maximise the sealing face while allowing the passage of particles up to 50mm in size. The rotors can be coated in NBR (FDA), EPDM and Viton or supplied in AISI-431 stainless steel. AxFlow says also to be noted is the unique intermediate chamber that isolates the pump head from the gear box, therefore avoiding any kind of cross contamination.

    When it comes to pumping solids in industries such as sewage treatment, mining or food there are numerous pump choices available to the process engineer because solids are relatively common in these sectors. However, when it comes to the chemical processing sector the options are more limited due to a range of additional factors, including the need for chemical resistance, ATEX, higher temperatures and the financial pressures. Malcolm Walker, marketing manager for AxFlow Ltd, reports.

  • Dramatic comeback  

    MELAPHONE says when its Speech Unit was designed 50 years ago for the booking offices at British Rail stations, nobody could have predicted that half a century later it would suddenly be in such high demand. The current Corona Virus Pandemic had created an urgent need for all protective equipment – both for personal use and in the working environment. This is the reason the Melaphone has come into its own again.
