Widethroat W Range
The Widethroat W Range has been designed to handle highly viscous materials, such as sludges, slurries, thick non-flowing pastes and de-watered sludge cake with viscosities up to 1,000,000cP.
The standard design consists of an enlarged rectangular inlet with a screw conveyor to assist the product into the pumping element. Options are available to modify the inlet with either large diameter augers, integral bridge breakers or both.
| Capacity | Pressure | Temperature | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| m³/h | Up to 215 | bar | Up to 48 | °C | -10 up to 100 |
| gpm | Up to 946 | psi | Up to 200 | °F | 14 up to 212 |
Applications
| Sludges | Slurries |
| Thick non-flowing pastes | De-watered sludge cake |
| Meat purées | Bentonite slurry |
| Pharmaceutical filter cake | Chicken offal |
| Potato waste slurry | Highly viscous materials |
Features & Benefits
- Provides a process efficient method of handling sludges with high solids content
- Different design configurations to suit the application, dry solids approaching 40% can be handled when fitted with integral bridge breakers or large augers
- Facilitates ease of maintenance through the simple design and use of a plug in shaft
- Designed to run at relatively slow speeds to minimise damage to shear sensitive products
- Pumps are available as monobloc or bareshaft
- Can be supplied with a Muncher, horizontally mounted onto the hopper, to assist solids reduction prior to pumping
