Steam-jacketed pumps that meet a diversity of
applications for production, transfer and processing of
sulphur.
Combining expertise in pump hydraulics,
metallurgy and mechanical engineering, Weir Minerals Lewis
Pumps now offers a family of steam-jacketed sulphur pumps
to meet a diversity of applications for the production, transfer,
and processing of sulphur from its points of production (from
mineral or hydrocarbon sources) to the major points of use in
sulphuric acid plants. Lewis Pumps can supply a
vertical submerged pump for every sulphur application.
Features
- Available in standard lengths or special lengths on
request
- Submerged bearing models used for relatively clean sulphur
applications
- Cantilevered shaft design used for applications where
impurities exists
- Vertical design eliminates shaft sealing problems generally
associated with horizontal pumps
- Optional suction extensions
- Heavy duty construction for applications involving heavy fluids
with high (1.8) specific gravity
Benefits
No matter which type of pump is employed, the
Lewis® Pumps Vertical Molten Sulphur Pump user enjoys
significant benefits which are the direct result of Lewis' long
specialisation in the design and manufacture of equipment for the
fertiliser acids industry:
- VERTICAL PUMP CONSTRUCTION CONCEPT eliminates
shaft sealing problems generally associated with horizontal pumps
requiring a pressurised stuffing box or seal, ensuring both
environmental protection and operator safety.
- HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION, required for
continuous operation in pumping duties involving high specific
gravity liquids, results in smooth, vibration-free operation. In
this regard, Weir Minerals Lewis Pumps has
credentials that simply cannot be matched by any other
manufacturer, as these applications have been a Lewis
Pumps specialty since 1914.S
- SPECIALIZED METALLURGY. Weir
Minerals Lewis Pumps is unique among
specialised pump manufacturers in its ability to develop
appropriate materials - the LEWMET® alloys - which
provide our customers with superior material performance in the
harsh operating environment of the modern sulphuric acid producing
plant.
- LEWIS PUMPS SPECIALIZATION ASSURES EFFICIENCY AND
RELIABILITY. Access to a large number of hydraulic designs
enables a close match between user requirements and available
liquid ends; in turn Lewis® Pumps vertical sulphur
pumps are assembled from proven standard parts manufactured in
large quantity lots - volume production guarantees quality
standards are maintained and eliminates design errors resulting
from "one of a kind" manufacture.
- SIMPLIFIED MAINTENANCE. All Lewis®
Pumps are designed for simplicity and built with the user
in mind. Precision-machined register fits between mating parts
eliminate alignment problems - all pumps can be serviced easily
using only standard tools of the trade - volume production of
replacement parts assures complete interchangeability for even the
oldest operating units.
