Blackmer's eccentric disc pump - Mouvex Technology,
is used in an array of applications across the globe. It has many
unique features giving it many advantages over competing pump lines.
There are no mechanical seals thus eliminating leaks and reducing
maintenance time. The eccentric
disc pumps are direct coupled to the
gear reduction unit or motor therefore eliminating the need for magnets.
With its clean-in-place capability, flushing and
cleaning take place without disassembly.
With the recommendation of the EHEDG(European Hygenic
Equipment Design Group) and a 3A approval certification
the stainless
steel models are ideal for sanitary applications.
The
unique eccentric disc concept provides gentle handling
and high-volume efficiency. The following applications
use the Mouvex technology eccentric disc design:
Chemicals
Food
Pharmaceuticals
Cosmetics
Agrochemicals
Petrochemicals
The
eccentric disc pumps – Mouvex technology are capable of
handling fluids of kinetic viscosity of
3000 cst (14,000
ssu) inside the pump and working pressures of 5-9 Bar
(72.5-130psi). Flow rates range from 0.11 m3h
(0.5 GPM) to 36 m3h (160 GPM).
Its
construction consists of either stainless steel or
ductile iron and is rated to 100 up to 150°C (212 up to
302 °F). This technology provides extraordinary self
priming and may run dry for a short period of time.
Additionally, eccentric disc pumps are very low shear
for shear sensitive liquids such as sauces, silicon
emulsions, cosmetics, food, etc. Performance tests show
shear rates lower than circumferential piston pumps,
lobe and gear pumps. The patented design provides
unique parts and operating characteristics.
