With some products already available in various materials to suit different applications, this ATEX certification extends the scope for uses into hazardous area.
Tuthill lubrication/transfer pumps are often used as OEM components on rotating equipment to provide lubrication for gears, bearings and seals, and have an option for an automatic reversing capability.
They are also used on heating equipment to feed fuel oil to the burners.
Configurations include motor driven, and shaft driven cartridge and component assemblies for total integration inside the equipment being lubricated.
The process pumps are positive-displacement units and are used in process plants for many different applications.
They will handle high viscosity, hot or abrasive fluids, or a combination of all these and are manufactured in iron and stainless steel.
Flow rates range up to 125m3/hr, pressures to 31 bar and viscosities up to 4,000,000 cps.
Leak-free and providing precise, non-pulsing operation, the magnetically-coupled pumps can provide flows from 1 ml/min to 10 USGPM (38 lpm), differential pressures to 250 psi (17.2 bar), system pressures to 500 psi (34.5 bar), temperatures to 350degF (176C), viscosities to 2000+ cps.
