PROCON 112A060F11CA Rotary Vane Pump, Clamp-On, 3/8 Inch NPT, 60 GPH, Brass

Procon 112A060F11CA rotary vane pump is used in beverage dispensing systems, soda fountains and coffee machines to handle liquids efficiently and maintain a consistent flow rate. This pump can handle a wide range of viscosities and is designed for continuous operation, making them reliable for commercial settings.

Working Mechanism:

• The central rotor with vanes in this pump is housed within a casing and moves eccentrically.
• During rotation, the vanes extend outward, creating a seal.
• By this vane movement, the pump then draws fluid or gas into a sealed chamber.
• Consequently, the sealed chamber's volume decreases, compressing the entrapped fluid or gas.
• Then the compressed fluid or gas is expelled through the outlet port of the pump.
• The rotor then maintains continuous rotation, sustaining the process of suction, compression and discharge.

Features:

• It features brass construction for increased durability and resistance to corrosion.
• This pump has a built-in relief valve, providing safety and protection from excessive pressure.
• It comes with a bypass system for smooth operation and controlled flow.
• This pump offers a 0.118-inch double flat drive, facilitating efficient power transmission.
• It further features an NPT inlet of 3/8-18 inches for compatibility with standard pipe fittings.
