Rotorflo
Are you looking for a high-performance pump that can handle the demands of hygiene-conscious industries like food, beverage, and pharmaceuticals? Look no further than the Rotorflo.
Developed with these industries in mind, the Rotorflo is a compact pump that requires little maintenance and delivers exceptional performance. Its compact design and use of 316 stainless steel for all wetted parts make it ideal for hygienic and non-corrosive operations.
One of the key advantages of the Rotorflo is its modular design, which allows for specific pump builds to be tailored to a particular duty. This ensures optimum performance and economy, making the Rotorflo a cost-effective solution for a wide range of process pumping duties.
The Rotorflo’s displacement is directly proportional to its rotational speed, allowing it to handle a broad spectrum of process pumping duties. Its advanced rotor profile, generated from a pure geometric form, reduces product acceleration to a minimum within the pumping chamber. This results in a smooth, quiet, low-shear operation, which is critical in industries where product quality is paramount.
Furthermore, the low-shear characteristics of the Rotorflo ensure the efficient transfer of all liquid viscosities up to semi-plastic, including delicate suspended solids, aggressive slurries, pastes, froths, and gas/liquid mixtures. This means that the Rotorflo can handle a wide range of media without damaging the product.
The Rotorflo is available in nine basic models in various combinations to cope with a wide range of flow rates and pressures. Pumps in the range have a maximum flow rate of 96m3 /hr and pressures of up to 15 bar. With various combinations of pump heads, rotor configurations, and seals, the Rotorflo can handle a wide range of media without product degradation.
In summary, if you’re looking for a high-performance pump for your hygiene-conscious industry, look no further than the Rotorflo. Its advanced rotor profile, low-shear operation, and modular design make it an efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution for a wide range of process pumping duties.
Features
- Shafts are made of heavy-duty, large-sectioned stainless
steel for less deflection and enhanced rigidity. - Helical gears time the main and lay shafts to maintain
accurate clearances between the rotors. These clearances
ensure high volumetric efficiency and increased suction. - Main bearings are of the standard taper-roller type.
- Gearboxes are grease or oil lubricated.
- Shaft sealing can be achieved by mechanical seal, packed
gland or “O” ring, to suit application. - The spigotted rotor case is positively located on the bearing
housing, eliminating loose dowels. - The 12-involute spline configuration ensures accurate
positioning of rotors during assembly. - Low-shear characteristics protect delicate products.
- Positive displacement technology ensures efficient transfer
of all liquid viscosities.
- The pumping chamber is fully swept, ensuring no product
entrapment. - “O” ring seal profiled to the edge of pumping chamber. Most
covers are flush, minimising areas where bacterial growth
can occur. - All wetted parts are made from 316 stainless steel.
- Full diameter porting supplied as standard. Fittings available
to suit customer specification. Enlarged inlets for hopper
feed also available. - Shimming external to gearbox to allow for quick and simple
adjustments of rotor clearances when required. - The gear housing is manufactured from robust cast iron.
- Keyed gears produce a positive drive to ensure that timing
does not have to be reset when rotors are changed. - “O” ring seals on rotor keeps splines free of product
contamination. - The front cover can be supplied with a pressure relief valve
built in to protect against overload.
