PROCON 141A140F11AA Rotary Vane Pump, Clamp-On, 3/8 Inch NPT, 140 GPH, Low Lead Brass

Procon 141A140F11AA rotary vane pump is a fluid transfer device used in chemical processing, beverage dispensing and food processing.

Working Mechanism:

• Rotary vane pumps work by the rotation of the vanes within the pump chamber.
• As the rotor spins, the vanes slide in and out due to centrifugal force, creating expanding and contracting volumes.
• This movement draws fluid or gas into the pump, compresses it, and then discharges it through the pump outlet.

Features:

• It features a 3/8 inch NPT port hole for fluid connection and has an integrated strainer to prevent debris damage.
• This pump offers clamp-on mounting for easy installation and features a double flat drive configuration to ensure efficient fluid transfer.
• It has EPDM / nitrile elastomers to provide reliable sealing properties and has a non-balanced ceramic / carbon seal for leakproof operation.
• This pump rotates clockwise and has internal components made of carbon for self-lubrication.
• It features low lead brass construction for providing durability & resistance to corrosion and further feature a bypass Ultem valve type for fluid flow control.

Compatible Accessories:

• Procon 1113 V-Band Clamp: It provides a secure connection between cylindrical components, offering a reliable & tight seal for various applications.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q. Are there any considerations for noise reduction when using rotary vane pumps?

A. Rotary vane pumps can generate some noise during operation, especially at higher speeds. To reduce noise levels, you can consider installing vibration isolators or anti-vibration mounts to dampen vibrations.

Q. What types of fluids can be handled by rotary vane pumps?

A. Rotary vane pumps can handle various fluids, including liquids, gases and slurries.

Q. Can I run a rotary vane pump without the oil?

A. Rotary vane pumps should never be run without oil. The oil plays a crucial role in lubrication, sealing and cooling. Operating the pump without oil can quickly lead to severe damage, such as excessive wear and seizing of moving parts.

Q. How do I maintain this rotary vane pump?

A.

• Regularly check and maintain the pump's oil level within the recommended range.
• Inspect and replace worn or damaged vanes and seals promptly.
• Keep the pump's exterior clean and free from debris.
• Monitor pump performance using pressure gauges and flow meters.
• Ensure proper alignment between the pump and motor to prevent wear and vibration.
• Lubricate moving parts according to the manufacturer's guidelines.
