Working Mechanism
- The central rotor with vanes moves eccentrically within the casing.
- As it rotates, the rotor pushes the vanes outward, creating a seal.
- The rotating vanes draw fluid or gas into a sealed chamber.
- The chamber volume decreases, compressing the trapped fluid / gas.
- The compressed fluid / gas is expelled through the outlet port.
- The continuous rotation of the rotor sustains the process of suction, compression and discharge.
Features
- They feature self-priming capabilities for water and are maintenance-free, providing convenience and ease of use.
- These pumps have low vibration and pulsation characteristics, ensuring smooth and stable fluid transfer.
- They come with an internal relief valve in an external adjust configuration for precise pressure control.
- These pumps offer stainless steel housing material for increased durability and corrosion resistance.
- They are integrated with 1/2 inch NPT inlet and outlet connections, providing standard fittings for easy installation.
- They are equipped with EPDM / nitrile elastomers for abrasion, weather and UV resistance.
