Corken Performance
Pictured are some 1" and 3/4" Corken sliding vane pumps destined for our fuel industry customer. Corken vane pumps are positive displacement pumps suitable for a wide range of vapour pressures, differential pressures, and viscosities. These industrial pumps are equipped with an adjustable internal relief valve and feature self-adjusting sliding vanes and vane drivers to improve pumping efficiency. 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, as in this case, 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.
In addition to sliding vane pumps Corken also offer turbine pumps and reciprocating gas compressors.
