NETZSCH Highlights TORNADO T2 Industrial Rotary Lobe Pump At Pack Expo 2015

Visit Booth #S-8313 to see revolutionary design that optimizes reliability, maintenance, performance and total cost of pump ownership

NETZSCH Pumps North America, LLC, experts in solutions designed specifically for difficult pumping applications will be highlighting its new TORNADO T2 industrial rotary lobe pump at Pack Expo, September 28-30, 2015, in Las Vegas, NV, Booth # S-8313.

Offering maximum operational performance, high reliability and durability, ease of maintenance, and a low total life cycle cost, the TORNADO T2 pump can be used for almost any media on intermittent, continuous or metering applications. The self-priming, valve-less, positive displacement pump is ideal for any kind of liquid, including media containing gas, solids or fibrous matter.

Drop by the booth to see the TORNADO T2 pump’s revolutionary design, which has been completely reengineered to maximize uptime. Featuring metal lobes running inside a metal housing with an elastomer liner, the new design means that only elastomer and metal component surfaces interface within the pump during the entire pumping cycle. This eliminates the excess wear and heat generated from elastomer-to-elastomer contact found in traditional rotary lobe pumps.

The torsional strength and deflection-resistant, shaft material combined with sealed-for-life, angular contact ball bearings ensure axial and radial shaft stability. This world-class stability maintains tolerances and stabilizes the pump against higher pressures.

The pump’s innovative design improves access for inspection, cleaning, service, and replacing parts, providing for full-service-in-place. Simply removing the cover plate on the TORNADO T2 allows quick and easy access to the pump chamber. The rotors can be removed and replaced easily and quickly because they are not bolted or keyed to the shafts inside the pump head. The rotors’ geometry allows their independent removal without the need for special tools. Rotor synchronization is achieved with a setting device included as an integral part of the pump front cover. The pre-set cartridge mechanical seals are fitted directly into the rotor and mounted on the shafts as one assembly.

The revolutionary design enhances process efficiency with the smallest footprint by incorporating an innovative timing tooth belt to both synchronize and drive the pump’s rotating element. This design reduces the space required for pump installation and servicing, improving overall site utilization.
