The positive displacement, sliding-vane design is well suited for higher capacity, medium head pumping applications. The sliding vane design is unique because it can handle small amounts of vapor formed at the pump suction, and the vanes are self-adjusting for extended wear. A variety of sealing options are available and the range includes magnetically coupled pumps.
Corken offers several industrial sliding vane pumps for a wide range of vapor pressures, differential pressures, and viscosities. All industrial pumps are equipped with an adjustable internal relief valve and feature self-adjusting sliding vanes and vane drivers to improve pumping efficiency. And, maintenance is simple. Removing the pump cover gives full access to the rotor, cam, sideplates, seals, and bearings. Drive options include gear reducer, V-belt, and hydraulic.
Suitable liquids include but are not limited to aviation fuel, fuel oil, lube oil, solvents, and liquefied gases such as LPG, ammonia, and carbon dioxide.
