Construction pumps using Renold Gears

When a US pump manufacturer was looking for a gearbox to drive their construction double diaphragm pumps, Renold Gears were able to supply the ideal solution

Myers-Seth pumps where looking for a replacement gearbox to drive their popular 4inch double diaphragm pump.

The double diaphragm pump is a rugged trash pump and is designed to work in the harshest environments such as dewatering, well pointing, sewage bypass and tank transfer applications, etc.

The heavy duty WM wormgear gearbox was selected as the ideal solution due to its high ratings and therefore long life.

The WM unit is driven by the single cylinder diesel engine and is fitted with a rigidly fitted output shaft arrangement; each output shaft is fitted with an offset eccentric which operates one of the two diaphragms at a time.

The double diaphragm pump eccentrics are driven by the WM gear unit and are alternatively filled and emptied by fluid that is drawn in through a suction inlet and discharged through a common outlet.

The WM unit is specially modified specifically for the customer application and is finished in black paint to fit directly on to the diaphragm pump.

Doug Myers at Myers-Seth commented "The WM was an ideal solution to drive the pump and has provided great back-up customer service from their US operation in Westfield in New York State".

Myers-Seth is based in Jacksonville in Florida.
