Hermetically sealed twin-screw pump for chemical and petrochemical sectors

ITT BORNEMANN has released the SLW, a hermetically-sealed pump, providing customers, it says, with an environmentally-friendly, competitively priced pump.

With the SLW pump, the 165-year- old Bornemann brand says it is able to provide an extensive twin-screw industrial pump portfolio to customers in the chemical, oil & gas, tank storage, shipbuilding, power generation and general industrial markets.

Using magnetic coupling (MAG- Drive), the SLW pump eliminates the need for mechanical seals and complex seal supply systems, says ITT, with a simple and innovative design that brings various benefits to customers:

• With the sealed chamber, critical media with harmful substances are confined to the pump and not released into the environment.

• The design allows the two screws to convey the product and transmit the torque.

• The single-volute design is also compact and requires a small footprint for installation.

• The product is lubricated with inboard bearings.

• The less-wear parts design leads to lowmaintenance, resulting in high MTBF (mean time between failure) and lower life- cycle cost.

The SLW Series pump is designed for various market applications in the chemical and petrochemical markets:

• Various low and high viscosity products.

• Chemical and petrochemical products.

• Lube oils, crude oils, light and heavy fuels.

• Heaviest refinery products.

• Non-Newtonian fluids.

• General clean and lubricating fluids in liquid phase.
