Blackmer C-Series Eccentric Disc Pumps offer operational and energy-savings advantages in paint and coatings applications
Article Type: New products From: Pigment & Resin Technology, Volume 37, Issue 5
The days when the performance of a manufacturer’s industrial pumps had no correlation to the company’s energy bill are long gone. In these days, when energy costs – and availability – are in constant flux, manufacturers need to employ pumps that not only perform as advertised, but also make a positive contribution in any energy-reduction efforts, as well.
When it comes to paint and coatings applications, Blackmer has the perfect pump for both production and (energy) reduction. The C-Series Eccentric Disc Pump is a positive-displacement pump that can be utilized throughout virtually every liquid-handling aspect of paint-and-coatings manufacturing, most notably the movement of resins, solvents, additives, caustics, solids and byproduct waste. The design of the C-Series guarantees benefits such as constant flow rates at various pressures and viscosities, shear sensitivity, clean-in-place technology, and the ability to strip lines, run dry and self-prime.
The C-Series is able to accomplish all of these tasks while also conserving energy. By virtue of their inherent energy and mechanically efficient designs, eccentric disc pumps are uniquely suited to offer high-value advantages and solutions to companies that are looking to fulfill energy-saving initiatives. Since eccentric disc pumps maintain higher mechanical efficiencies and volumetric performance through a wider viscosity range – key considerations in paint-and-coatings applications – less energy is needed for their operation, especially when compared to centrifugal-style pumps.
