Bigger pumps targeted at pumping applications where higher flow
rates and/or higher fluid working pressures are required
Over the years, Graco have developed a family of pumps with a variety
of different sized air motors. The drum pumps shown in Dl overleaf
use Fast-Flo and Monark air motors. These are the smallest Graco
air motors. The next biggest air motor in the family is the President
followed by the Senator, then the Bulldog and the King up to the
biggest air motor, the Premier. These bigger air motors, and consequently
bigger pumps, are mainly used for heavy duty transfer applications.
High-Flo and Dura-Flo pumps
FES supplies 2 ranges of transfer pumps that employ bigger air
motors:-
- High-Flo pumps, with ratios from 1.5:1 to 4:1, have bigger
fluid inlet and outlet ports and are designed for bulk transfer
and circulation systems over longer pipe runs. (See Dl overleaf
for further information about ratios and fluid working pressures.)
High-Flo pumps use President and Bulldog air motors.
- Dura-Flo pumps, with ratios from 13:1 to 68:1, are designed
to produce higher fluid working pressures with flow rates that
are acceptable for many pumping applications. These large pumps
use Senator, Bulldog, King or Premier air motors. Dura-Flo pumps
are often used in spray or cleaning applications.
Note: Dura-Flo
pumps are not intended for use with highly viscous materials
with poor flow characteristics such as sealants. See HI and
H2 Extrusion Pumps for a solution for pumping these types of materials.
Pump construction
Pumps are available in Carbon Steel or Stainless Steel with packings
to suit your pumping applications. Some of the packing arrangements
for the Dura-Flo pumps are designed to deal with more abrasive,
but not the most abrasive fluids. |
