Task
Dispens various silicone oils with viscosities up to 12,500 mPas from 200-liter drums and convey them to filling devices. The system must overcome a lift height of 10 meters and ensure a continuous filling process.
Requirements
- Flow rate of at least 20 l/min
- Portable for on-site use
Solution in Detail
Use of the F 550 GS progressive cavity pump with an F 458-1 commutator motor. The positive-displacement pump achieves head heights of up to 10 m and maintains constant flow rates. A relief valve protects the system from pressure spikes during operation.
Result
The pump is inserted directly into the drum, allowing for immediate pumping without any additional installation. Thanks to its lightweight motor, it can be easily and flexibly used in a variety of locations.
A lift height of 10 m is reliably achieved
Constant flow rate of at least 20 l/min
Safe pressure relief via a relief valve
Lightweight engine enables mobile use
