Pumps for neutral liquids

MMS-ALU    Aluminum Pump Tube with Mechanical Seal
MSL-ALU     Aluminum Seal-less Pump Tube

Applications

The robust Lutz pump tube with mechanical seal or sealless is so designed that it can run dry; it is suitable for pumping non-aggressive, clean, thin-bodied and slightly viscous liquids out of drums and small or large containers. The pump tube is non-lubricated, thus preventing contamination of the liquids pumped.

Structure and function (MMS-ALU)

Lutz pump tubes are immersible centrifugal pumps. The drive shaft of this pump tube is sealed by a single-acting mechanical seal (MS) and two shaft seals located behind it, making a robust sealing system. The pump tube must not be allowed to run dry.

Structure and function (MSL-ALU)

Lutz pump tubes are immersible centrifugal pumps. The drive shaft of this pump tube is not sealed. The bearing housing unit above the impeller is designed to prevent pumped liquid from rising between the shaft and the inner tube. This device guides the liquid which penetrates between the drive shaft and the shaft bearing back into the container being drained.

Length:

27", 39", 47"
Special length on request.

Warning:

The drum and container pump must not be used for flammable liquids.

Note:

Axial-flow rotor for high delivery rate and low delivery head. Radial-flow impeller for low delivery rate and high delivery head.
