Universal 2 Series - AP (Automotive Paint) - Positive Displacement Pumps
FEATURES
A modification of the Universal 2 positive displacement pump, this pump is manufactured specifically for paint re-circulation in the automotive industry. Features:
- 316 stainless steel pump body and cover.
- Exclusive, non-galling Waukesha “88” alloy rotors standard; permits running at tighter clearances and pumping a wide range of viscosities.
- Rotor/shaft connection sealed from product zone.
- Mechanical seals standard. Single or flushed double.
- Up to 500 psi (34.5 bar) pressure capability.
- Rotor nut designed for extended service without loosening.
- No bearings in product zone.
- Larger diameter 17-4 PH shafts in seal area for greater strength and stiffness. Helps eliminate vibration; extends seal life.
- Heavy duty bearing frame.
- Double tapered roller bearings on all models. Contribute further to precise rotor position and longer seal life.
- Silicone free grease lubed bearings for positive lubrication to all bearings over entire speed, temperature and pressure range.
- Body retaining screws for maintaining mechanical seal contact during inspection.
- O-ring on inner seal, seals on clean surface as seal moves due to wear.
- Bearing isolators keep product out of gearcase and bearings.
Benefits:
- Protects water-borne shear sensitive paints.
- Pigments are not separated, which can change viscosity and cause color shifts.
- Aluminum and mica metallic flakes are not damaged, which result in deep rich paint luster, and shiny finish.
- Color matching between body and components is not a problem.
- Substantial energy cost savings compared to turbine and piston pumps.
- Constant flow regardless of system pressure changes, results in high film quality and thickness.
- Pressure surges eliminated.
- Minimal heat added to product.
- Pumps are energy efficient, and easily cleaned, maintained, and repaired.
