Universal 1 Series - Positive Displacement Pumps
The durable Waukesha Clean-out-of-Place (COP) Positive Displacement "Can-Do Pump". Versatile in application, its reliability has made it the industry standard worldwide.
FEATURES
For more than half a century, Waukesha Cherry-Burrell® has been a leader in the design, manufacturing and application of external circumferential piston (ECP) style, rotary positive displacement pumps. Waukesha pumps are in service around the world and offer many key features, including:
- 316L stainless steel body, cover, and shaft
- Easy disassembly for COP cleaning
- Elastomers that comply with FDA requirements
- Aseptic models available
- Meets 3-A sanitary standards
Long-life features:
- Up to 200 psi (13.8 bar) pressure capability
- No bearings in product zone
- Heavy duty bearing frame with large diameter shafts
- Grease lubed bearings for positive lubrication of all bearing over entire speed, temperature and pressure range
- Non-galling Waukesha “88” alloy rotors standard; permits running at tighter clearances and pumping a wide range of viscosities
- Remanufacturing and Inspect and Advise programs to extend life and reduce costs
Installation Features:
- Bidirectional flow. Rotors, locked with double jam nuts, rotate securely in either direction.
- No flow direction/shaft position specifications
- Versatile 3-Way mounting of gear case, including vertical alignment of ports
- Upper or lower shaft position
- Easy to install or convert single o-ring to mechanical seals
- Interchangeable installation dimensions with other Universal Series pumps
Time-tested Waukesha Cherry-Burrell® rotary pump; circumferential-piston operating principle
In the Waukesha Cherry-Burrell design, arc-shaped "pistons” (rotor wings) travel in annular-shaped cylinders machined in the pump body; the resulting long sealing path reduces slippage and produces a smooth flow of product without destructive pulses or pressure peaks and without valves or complex parts.
FOR LOW VISCOSITY FLUIDS
Rotors, made of Waukesha “88” alloy, can be run with close clearance to the 316L stainless steel fluid head, without galling or seizing should inadvertent pressure surges cause contact. The close clearances combined with the rotor geometry, which gives a long sealing path between the pump inlet and outlet, means low slip operation. As a result, you achieve: high efficiency, good priming ability, metering capability and good flow control.
