Chopper Pumps Help Ford Motor to Improve Waste Handling

The Ford Engine plant in Dagenham is not the type of site you usually associate with an application for a Vaughan chopper pump as these powerful, heavy-duty pumps are more likely to be found operating at sewage treatment works around the UK.

However, motor manufacturing, like any major process involves its own unique solids pumping challenges. For example, how to handle the difficult combination of swarf, cutting oils and coolants being collected from huge CNC machines operating on engine and transmission manufacture.

The origins of the application began in the late 1990’s when Vaughan Co. supplied an initial trial pump to a Michigan based OEM filter systems manufacturer. The pump was to be tested to see how it would perform against the conventional method of handling waste material and coolant collected from CNC machines. The design and operational characteristics of the Vaughan pump provided an effective, all-in-one combination of shredder and pump which could handle all the ingredients of the machine waste, affectionately known as ‘pump backs’ in the industry.

After 4 years of validation and ongoing collaboration between Vaughan, the filter systems engineers and Ford Motor Company’s transmission and coolant specialists, Vaughan succeeded in being chosen as the preferred type of pump for the waste handling applications.
Fast forward to 2005 and Vaughan’s Huntingdon based UK distributor P&M Pumps became involved with the supply of 74 bespoke design V3M ‘pump back’ pumping systems for similar waste handling applications at Ford’s UK engine plant sites at Dagenham and Port Talbot.

These pumps were supplied from Detroit and then the packaged system was fabricated and built in the UK by P&M Pumps. They were then shipped to the German CNC manufacturer for eventual delivery and installation at the Ford UK sites. Today, approximately 175 Vaughan pumps are, in the words of Ford Motor Company’s engineers, “performing flawlessly” on the waste handling pump applications associated with their huge machine tool process.

Through their experiences at numerous UK waste water treatment and manufacturing sites, P&M Pumps have been able to demonstrate that Vaughan Chopper Pumps are an extremely effective option on the most challenging solids pumping applications.  asa20130425

Verderair AODD Pumps Use Less Air, Less Energy and Lower Your Costs

Thanks to the new generation of super-responsive air valves, Verderair AODD pumps are the most efficient on the market.

Verderair AODD pumps are the most efficient on the market. Why is this? The quick-acting air valves are very fast in changing direction. No compressed air enters the air chamber when the stroke has completed. The used compressed air is removed from the pump with almost no restrictions. The compressed air is only used to move the liquid! 

The highly efficient AODD pump gives an improved working environment as there is less noise. By using all of the compressed air the pump makes less noise and the risk of freezing the exhaust is reduced.

With a huge range of models in sizes up to 1135l/min flow rate and many options for wet-side materials and accessories there is a Verderair pump for your process.

For aggressive harsh environments where fuming cabinets are in use or where pumps react to the atmosphere, the Verderair Pure is a high quality pump made from a solid-block of pure plastic to ensure it is compatible with even the worst process conditions.

What are the benefits?

• Reduced operational cost


• Increased productivity


• Improved working environment

 

Metallized Carbon Corporation custom radial seal rings

MetCar promotes its custom radial seal ring assemblies for sealing liquids and gases on industrial blowers, pumps, and turbo machinerytes its custom radial seal ring assemblies for sealing liquids and gases on industrial blowers, pumps, and turbo machinery.

Metallized Carbon Corporation, a manufacture of oil-free, self-lubricating, carbon-graphite materials for severe service lubrication applications, is promoting its custom radial seal ring assemblies. Also known as packing rings, radial seal rings are used to prevent leakage of industrial blowers, pumps and other turbo machinery by sealing the clearance between a rotating or reciprocating shaft and the stationary housing.

The carbon-graphite radial seal rings manufactured by Metcar meet the most stringent customer specifications, the company claims. More than 150 grades of proprietary carbon/graphite material are available, and Metcar engineers work with customers to select the optimum grade for specific applications, based on the environment, shaft, housing materials, or rotational speed.

Metcar’s packing rings are designed for sealing both liquid and gases for many applications, including aircraft turbine engines, blenders and mixers, furnace exhaust blowers, and oil free piston compressors, as well as ship propeller shafts, steam turbines, and water pumps and turbines.

The carbon-graphite radial seal assemblies help solve serious leakage problems that occur when stuffing box seals fail due to wear, thermal degradation, chemical attack, and dimensional stability problems with leather, plastic, composite or elastomeric elastic seal ring materials.

Two types of radial seal rings are available. The ‘close clearance’ version is a one piece, solid ring made to fit with close clearance on the outer dimension of the rotating or reciprocating shaft. If the shaft is expected to experience thermal expansion, the carbon-graphite ring comes in a version that is shrink-fitted into a metal retaining ring, providing the carbon graphite/metal assembly the same thermal expansion rate as the shaft. asa20130423

About Rotodynamic (Centrifugal) Pumps  

Rotodynamic pumps may be classified by such methods as impeller or casing configuration, end application of the pump, specific speed, or mechanical configuration. The method used in Figure 1.1.3a is based primarily on mechanical configuration.

 

1.1.1 Scope 

This standard covers rotodynamic pumps with centrifugal (radial), mixed flow, and axial flow impellers, as well as regenerative turbine and pitot tube type pumps, of all industrial/commercial types except vertically suspended diffuser turbine pumps. It contains description of types, nomenclature, and definitions. 

1.1.2 Definition of rotodynamic (centrifugal) pumps

Rotodynamic pumps are kinetic machines in which energy is continuously imparted to the pumped fluid by means of a rotating impeller, propeller, or rotor. The most common types of rotodynamic pumps are centrifugal (radial), mixed flow, and axial flow pumps. 

Centrifugal pumps use bladed impellers with essentially radial outlet to transfer rotational mechanical energy to the fluid primarily by increasing the fluid kinetic energy (angular momentum) and also increasing potential energy (static pressure). Kinetic energy is then converted into usable pressure energy in the discharge collector. 

1.1.3 Types of rotodynamic pumps

Rotodynamic pumps are most commonly typed by their general mechanical configuration (see Figures 1.1.3a, b, c, and d). The broadest characteristics, which include virtually all centrifugal pumps, are discussed in the following paragraphs:

 

1.1.3.1 Overhung impeller type

In this group, the impeller(s) is mounted on the end of a shaft that is cantilevered or “overhung” from its bearing supports.

These pumps are either close coupled, where the impeller is mounted directly on the driver shaft; or separately coupled, where the impeller is mounted on a separate pump shaft supported by its own bearings. One variation of this design is the submersible type, where a close-coupled pump/electric motor unit is designed to operate while submerged in the liquid it is pumping or another liquid.

 

1.1.3.1.1 Close coupled

Close-coupled pumps are commonly characterized by the following attributes: 

The pump and driver share one common shaft; the driver bearings absorb all pump thrust loads (axial and radial).

The driver is aligned and assembled directly to the pump unit with machined fits. 

1.1.3.1.2 Short coupled

Pumps described as short coupled have a coupling arrangement in which the motor is supplied with a flange adaptor that mounts directly to the casing, or body of the pump, thereby permitting the use of a single or solidly coupled shaft. A variation of this design is a magnetically coupled sealless pump, which uses a series of magnets mounted directly on the motor shaft. (See also Section 1.1.6.8 Special case ASME/ANSI B73.1, C-frame adaptor.) 

Short coupled pumps are commonly characterized by the following attributes:

The pump and driver have separate shafts; the pump has an integral bearing housing to absorb all pump thrust loads (axial and radial). The driver is aligned and assembled directly to the pump unit with machined fits.

 

1.1.3.1.3 Rigidly coupled

Pumps described as rigidly coupled have their shaft rigidly coupled to the driver shaft. 

Rigidly coupled pumps are commonly characterized by the following attributes: 

The pump and driver have separate shafts connected by a rigid coupling; the pump has an internal product-lubricated radial bearing. The driver is aligned and assembled directly to the pump unit with machined fits. The driver bearings absorb all pump axial thrust loads and residual radial loads.

 

1.1.3.1.4 Flexibly coupled

Pumps described as flexibly coupled have the pump shaft flexibly coupled to the driver shaft via a flexible element drive coupling. Usually of the spacer type.

Flexibly coupled pumps are commonly characterized by the following attributes:

Pump and driver have separate shafts; the pump has an integral bearing housing to absorb all pump thrust loads (axial and radial). With this arrangement the motor may be mounted on a support that is independent of the pump and not structurally connected to the pump frame. 

1.1.3.1.5 High-speed integral gear-driven pumps

High-speed integral gear-driven single-stage overhung pumps have a speed increasing gearbox integral with the pump. The impeller is mounted directly to the gearbox output shaft. There is no coupling between the gearbox and pump; however, the gearbox is flexibly coupled to its driver. These pumps may be oriented vertically or horizontally. 

Integral gear-driven single-stage overhung pumps are commonly characterized by the following attributes:

Pump, gearbox, and driver have separate shafts; the pump and gearbox have internal bearings to absorb all thrust loads (axial and radial). The gearbox shaft is flexibly coupled to the driver shaft and the motor mounts on a frame supported by the pump and gear unit.

 

1.1.3.2 Impeller between-bearings type 

In this group, the impeller(s) is mounted on a shaft with bearings at both ends. The impeller(s) is mounted between these bearings.

 These pumps may be further identified as single-stage or multistage configurations.  asa0422
