TKM Series Vortex Pumps: A Superior Choice for Wastewater Applications
Product Overview: The TKM Series Vortex Pumps are designed to excel in demanding wastewater applications, offering a semi-open impeller that is recessed into the volute section of the pump. This unique design allows for the clear passage of solids, making these pumps ideal for handling large, stringy, and abrasive solids often found in primary and activated sludge.
Key Features:
- Recess Design: The impeller is recessed, minimizing contact with the process fluid and reducing the risk of clogging.
- Solids Handling: Capable of passing solids up to a nominal size, ensuring that whatever goes into the pump will be pumped out.
- Low Erosion: With only 15 to 20 percent of solids coming into contact with the impeller, erosion is significantly reduced.
- Air Handling: Capable of handling entrained air beyond the capabilities of standard centrifugal pumps.
- Reliable Operation: Designed for reliable operation at low flows and can shutoff for extended periods without issues.
Cost-Effective Solution: Compared to other pumping technologies, TKM Vortex Pumps are typically less expensive to purchase and help reduce maintenance costs, making them a cost-effective choice for facilities.
Reliability and Maintenance: These pumps are designed around the seal, where most pump failures occur, to improve mean time between failures and reduce maintenance costs. Heavy-duty components, such as solid low deflection shafts and specialized seals, contribute to greater stability and reliability in extreme environments.
Customization and Capacity: Available in various frame configurations, these pumps can reach capacities of up to 340 cubic meters per hour (1,500 gallons per minute). They can handle discharge passages from 2 to 4 inches, passing solids up to a nominal 4 inches.
Materials and Construction: Constructed with materials such as standard ductile iron or CD4MCu, these pumps are built to withstand harsh conditions and provide long-term performance.
Applications: The TKM Series Vortex Pumps are suitable for a wide range of applications including chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum, electricity, food, film photographic printing, scientific research, and defense industry, for pumping acids, lye, oil, rare liquids, venom, volatile liquids, and more.
Warranty and Support: TKM products come with a manufacturer's warranty for two years, covering replacement of any defective components deemed unsuitable by the TKM technical office.
