PROCON 104B240F11BC Rotary Vane Pump, Brass, 240 GPH, EPDM/Nitrile, Standard-Non External Adjust

Procon 104B240F11BC rotary vane pump is a positive-displacement pump used for transferring fluids in beverage dispensing machines, espresso machines and water treatment systems.

Working Mechanism:

• The pump has a rotary vane design, consisting of a circular rotor with multiple vanes that slide in and out as the rotor rotates.
• Fluid enters the pump through the inlet port, and the rotating vanes create chambers that trap the fluid.
• As the rotor turns, the vanes trap the fluid inside the chambers, carrying it around the pump's interior.
• The trapped fluid is forced towards the outlet port, where the vanes compress it, increasing its pressure.
• When the pressure reaches a certain level, the vanes release the fluid through the outlet port, delivering a continuous flow of pressurised fluid.

Features:

• It has a self-priming design to kickstart the pumping process without external priming assistance for simplifying setup and operation.
• This rotary vane pump has an internal relief valve for protecting against potential damage from overpressure situations.
• It is equipped with 1/2 inch NPT inlet and outlet connections for making it easy to integrate into existing fluid transfer systems.
• This vane pump features brass construction for resisting corrosion on exposed surfaces.
• It has EPDM / nitrile elastomers for preventing leakage.
