How Blackmers sliding vane action works

Design
Blackmers GX and X series models are
available in 2, 2.5, 3 and 4-inch flanged port
sizes with capacities from 30 to 520 U.S. gpm
(114-1,855 L/min). Cast iron construction is
standard on all models except the X4 model
which is ductile iron construction. All models
have external ball bearings isolated from
the pumpage by mechanical seals.
The GX type pumps feature an integral
head-mounted gear reduction drive with
oil lubricated, hardened helical gears that
provide quiet trouble-free operation. Gear
shafts are supported at both ends by ball
bearings for smooth operation and long life.
A splined shaft simplifies alignment of the

GX3

pump and reducer, and the reducer can be


rotated on the pump head to accommodate
a variety of motor sizes without shimming.

Application
Blackmers GX and X type pumps are
designed to handle a wide range of
non-corrosive, non-abrasive industrial
liquids and petroleum products. Typical
applications include fuel oils, lube oils,
jet fuels, gasoline, edible oils and a variety
of solvents and thinners such as esters,
ketones, naphthas, ethers, amines,
aromatics, alcohols, terpenes, glycols
and many other similar liquids.

Benefit
Blackmers positive displacement rotary
pumps utilizing their unique sliding
vane design offers the best combined
characteristics of sustained high level
performance, energy efficiency,
trouble-free operation and low
maintenance cost. Also, the high suction
lift capability of these pumps makes
them especially suitable for pumping
from underground tanks, bulk plant
service and aircraft refueling.
