Universal 2 Series - Positive Displacement Pumps
The Waukesha Universal 2 Series positive displacement pumps include advanced sanitation technologies, long life features and installation flexibility. Clean-in-Place (CIP) capable with optional flat body profile and free draining vertical ports. This highly robust pump can run at pressures of up to 500 psi.
FEATURES
Key Features & Benefits
- CIP capability available. Pump body has optional internal flat body profile andwill free drain with vertical ports. Optional rotor and body hub drilling providedfor difficult CIP cleaning applications.
- Cover is free draining in horizontal or vertical port positions.
- Rotor/shaft connection sealed from product zone.
- Single mechanical seals standard. Optional: double mechanical seals and triple lip seals for reliable performance in chemically aggressive applications or certain COP sanitary applications.
- Seal flush optional: seal areas interconnected to improve circulationand draining of seal flush fluid. Steam-In-Place also is optional.
- Stainless steel bearing frame optional on models 006 to 370.
- Aseptic design (Option)
Long-life Features
- Up to 500 psi (34.5 bar) pressure capability.
- Special rotor nut designed for extended service without loosening.
- No bearings in the product zone.
- Large diameter 17-4 PH shafts for greater strength and stiffness.Helps reduce vibration; extends seal life.
- Heavy duty bearing frame (stainless steel available as an option).
- Double tapered roller bearings.
- Greased 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.
- Extended outer seal life. A wave spring, instead of an O-ring, mechanically loadsthe seal.
- O-Ring on inner seal, seals on clean surface as seal moves due to wear.
- Unique mechanical seal design utilizes 3 pin stationary seal and specialdesign shaft for rotary seal.
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.
