New Sizes of the Tornado T2 All-Metal Rotary Lobe Pumps by Netzsch

05.11.2015

The smaller version of the Tornado all-metal pump T.Proc and T.Sano – eagerly awaited by the market – with delivery rate up to 8 m³/h and for back pressures from 8 or 10 bar and specifically developed for lower volumetric flows in the food and process industry, is now available.

This pump meets the high demands of chemical and hygienic industrial processes. Based on the motto "No maintenance is the best maintenance", the T T2 features extraordinary high performance while wear and maintenance have been reduced to a minimum.

The all-metal model was especially developed for the chemical sector, where the delivered media might attack rubber components; pump housing and rotary lobes are made from stainless steel or special steels. This means long-term process reliability is ensured, even with aggressive substances. The pump chamber design eliminates dead space, preventing product deposits and making cleaning easier, either manually or following the CIP process. This means the pump is ideally suited for hygienic processes.

The belt drive is a crucial improvement to the Tornado T2. In comparison to the gear drive, it is less prone to problems and allows for an even more compact design. However, above all it does not need to be lubricated, as the pump manages completely without oil. In addition, the pump chamber has also been further developed. The rotary lobes are now fixed cleanly from the outside with quick-fit taper lock ringsets, which makes replacement easier. At the same time, no solids can be deposited on fastenings, as all rotary lobe surfaces are smooth; this means risks of clogging and blocking are successfully prevented.

Using canned motor technology for submersible pumps provides significant advantages. A short shaft, only two slide bearings – independent from the immersion depth – and various monitoring functions not only ensure high reliability but also mean cost advantages for the operator. Since it is supplied as a lock pump, easy servicing is guaranteed at the same time.

Netzsch: A Robust, Low Wear Rotary Lobe Pump Successfully Extracts High Solids Content Slurry

02.05.2023 -

A Peruvian mining company reuses process water as part of their iron ore processing. Until November 2019, however, this was made difficult by the fact that the medium, which is collected in a tank on site, has a very high solids content of 60 to 70 per cent. After an attempt to drain the water and remove the sediment in the tank with shovels had failed after four days, the owner decided to purchase a submersible pump with an agitator.
