Impeller
- The impeller is an open design with a full back shroud. It is designed for a matched close
clearance with the suction sideplate to provide optimum efficiency. The impeller has balance holes to al-
low air to pass through the back shroud. Remaining paper stock is returned to the casing volute via large
pump-out vanes.
The impeller is keyed to the shaft and sealed with PTFE® O-rings.
X-Ducer
- The X-Ducer creates turbulence in the standpipe and feeds the pulp into the pump suction.
The design concentrates the air present in the pulp suspension where it is expelled from the degas holes
in the impeller into the degas system. The X-Ducer is key driven and secured to the shaft with a rotor
nut. PTFE®o-rings protect the shaft.
Repeller
- A patented (U.S. Patent # 5,087,171) repeller behind the impeller provides superior secon-
dary air separation. The repeller is keyed to the shaft and sealed with PTFE® O-rings.
Stuffing Box Cover
- The stuffing box cover contains a degasification nozzle through which excess air is
removed. Shaft sealing is accomplished with a mechanical seal as standard.
Shaft/Shaft Sleeve
- The shaft is designed to minimize deflection in the seal area and at the impeller. It
is protected from the pumpage by a replaceable sleeve sealed with a PTFE® O-ring.
Power End
- A heavy duty power end is provided for maximum reliability. It includes a duplex angular
contact thrust bearing and a cylindrical roller radial bearing for maximum load carrying ability. The bear-
ings are sized for a two year minimum L'
10
(14 year average) life under the worst operating conditions.
Oil lubrication is standard and the frame is sealed at both ends with labyrinth oil seals. External axial ad-
justment is provided to maintain the proper impeller clearance for optimum efficiency.
