Rotary lobe pump TORNADO®

The TORNADO® Mobile combines the flexibility and independence of a mobile unit with the proven technology of a TORNADO® T1 rotary lobe pump from NETZSCH. Mobility through mounting on a car or truck trailer enables the pumping of large quantities of fluids with high solid content, wastewater and slurry at the most diverse and unusual locations. Depending on the application, the TORNADO® rotary lobe pump is mounted on a trailer with diesel unit in the appropriate size. At the core of the mobile units are the TORNADO® pumps with two rotary lobes which are three-winged and screw-shaped and engage whilst rotating. They thereby generate a vacuum on the suction side. This means the water is drawn in automatically andconveyed to the discharge side. Viscosity and dry matter content have a minimal effect on the volumetric flow. Solids like sand or clumps of earth pose absolutely no problems for the robust pumps. Robust design ensures reliable operation. When designing the pumps, special attention was paid to robustness to ensure that abrasive or aggressive media would be unable to damage the technology. The rotary lobes are coated with resistant nitrile rubber, which enables the pump seal to do its job reliably even under great stress and strain. Furthermore, the gear box and pump chambers in the pumps are separated from one another. Even in the event of the shaft sealing failing, the media being conveyed will not be able to get into the gear box and damage it. The pumping capacity, drive (diesel unit) and chassis are designed precisely to the features of the pumping medium and purpose.
