INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS: Developed to pump high shear & shear sensitive slurries. Commonly found in the Kaolin and paper coating industries, shear sensitive slurries thicken with increasing impeller rpm, sometimes to the point of overloading the motor and shutting down the pump. The 3x6-18 is designed to deliver a given flow and head at a lower impeller rpm (not top speed) than the standard design Model JC 3 and 4 inch pumps. DESIGN FEATURES: ● Single volute casing with back pullout. ● Enclosed, 5 vane impeller to reduce shear. ● Large casing clearances around front and back impeller shrouds to reduce shear. CAPABILITIES: ● Maximum solids handling size of 15,5mm and SG’s to 1.5. PERFORMANCE: ● Heads of up to 80m can be achieved at speeds of less than 1800 rpm
