DESIGN OPTIONS
Depending on the application, ALDRICH plunger pumps use different pump ends and corresponding cylinder designs. The slurry pump end has been specially developed for pumping media containing solids such as minerals, ores, overburden, and coal. The solids’ content can be up to 60 % by weight.
Pump cylinders with a minimum of clearance volume are the economical solution for pumping liquid gases such as ammonia, CO2, LNG, and LPG. Minimizing the clearance volume is an essential method for improving the volumetric efficiency of pumping compressible media. This applies not only to process pumps but also to secondary recovery into caverns and oil fields.
A wide range of different valve variants in ball, plate, cone, or plug design is available for the various applications, ensuring reliable, low-maintenance operation.
The monobloc construction of the cylinder block is convincing due to its high operational reliability. This one-piece construction with internal suction and discharge channels ensures individual accessibility to the valves without disconnecting suction and discharge connections.
The multi-part design of the cylinder block is designed for exceptional operating conditions, such as very high media temperatures. Suction and discharge manifolds connect the individual cylinder blocks. Depending on the requirements, forged or cast cylinders are built-in.
The stuffing box designs are adapted to the different media. Plungers in different material designs matched to these media contribute to the reliable aperation of the machine.
