Why are Blackmer sliding vane and
eccentric disc pumps more energy-efficient than other pumping
technologies?
The unique design of Blackmer’s sliding
vane and eccentric disc pumps offer a high level of energy
savings thanks to their volumetric efficiency, consistent
performance over time and high mechanical efficiency. In
fact, sliding vane pumps are up to 24% more efficient than
gear pumps on thin to moderately viscous fluids. Eccentric
disc pumps are up to 30% more efficient than lobe pumps on
thin fluids.

What benefits do sliding
vane pumps provide that other types of pumps don’t?
All Blackmer sliding
vane pump lines are designed to conquer the most problematic
challenges in the transfer of liquids of various viscosities.
The unique self-adjusting vanes eliminate efficiency-robbing “slip,” helping
the pump to maintain near-original volumetric output and
consistency even after significant service. Other design
benefits include seals and bearings designed for maximum
life; a wide range of flow capacities; superior priming and
suction capabilities that make them ideal for line stripping,
complete evacuation of heels and superior lift; and easy
maintenance that allows vanes to be replaced without removing
the pump from the piping system. In addition, their exceptional
suction/lift capabilities make sliding vane pumps ideal for
top unloading of vessels.

Which Blackmer pumps are best for
the saponification batch process?
The full gamut of Blackmer
pumps can be used in the saponification process. Sliding
vane pumps can be used in the loading and unloading of bulk
products; washing, mixing and fitting stages; drying; and
the injection of perfumes and additives. Centrifugal pumps
perform loading and unloading functions, mixing and the introduction
of brines and acids to the process. Eccentric disc pumps
are used in loading and unloading; mixing, washing, fitting
and separation process; drying; and additive addition. Peristaltic
pumps are used in the initial filtering process and to handle
wastewater applications.

Which Blackmer pumps are best suited
for the hydrolysis continuous process?
Blackmer sliding vane,
eccentric disc and centrifugal pumps are used in all aspects
of the hydrolysis continuous process of soap-making, which
consists of heating, steaming, cooling, distilling, mixing,
blending, evaporating and condensing.

Which Blackmer pumps
handle surfactants?
The C-Series Eccentric Disc Pump is ideal
for moving all types of surfactants due to its seal-less
design, which eliminates leaks and product loss. The seal-less
design of the SMVP mag-drive sliding vane pump also helps
to eliminate leaks and product loss when handling hard-to-seal
anionic, cationic and nonionic surfactants.

What is the viscosity
range handled by Blackmer sliding vane and eccentric disc
pumps?
Blackmer sliding vane pumps are capable of handling
viscosities in excess of 75,000 ssu (16,500 cS) depending
on the Model and Series of pump under consideration. C-Series
eccentric disc pumps are designed to handle viscosities up
to 46,000 ssu (10,000 cS). Please consult your local representative
or Blackmer applications engineer with the requirements of
your specific application.

Which pump is best for the high-volume
unloading of materials during bulk transfer?
Blackmer sliding
vane pumps are ideal for high-efficiency offloading of raw
materials from rail, transports and storage tanks. The sliding
vane design offers self-priming capabilities, superior sealing,
sustained high-level performance, energy efficiency, trouble-free
operation, heel clearing and line stripping, and low maintenance
costs. System One® centrifugal pumps offer reliability
and high performance in the unloading of raw materials from
barges and rail cars.

Does Blackmer have pumps for handling
shear-sensitive liquids?
All Blackmer sliding vane, eccentric
disc and Abaque peristaltic (hose) pumps are made to handle
shear-sensitive liquids.

Can Blackmer pumps maintain a constant
flow rate at various pressures and viscosities?
C-Series
pumps are able to maintain a constant flow rate thanks to
eccentric disc technology that employs an oscillating disc
that produces the pumping performance of a positive displacement
pump while creating a constant flow that is independent to
both pressure and viscosity. All Blackmer sliding vane pump
lines are designed to conquer the most problematic challenges
in the transfer of liquids of various viscosities, creating
a constant flow that is independent of pressure. Sliding
vane pumps maintain near-original volumetric output and consistency
even after significant service.

Does Blackmer make a pump
that has the ability to pass solids?
Depending on the solid
size and type, Blackmer has pumps to handle these applications.
C-Series eccentric disc pumps have the capability to pass
solids up to 3 mm. For larger and/or more concentrated solids,
the construction and operating principles of Blackmer peristaltic
(hose) pumps make them ideal for moving solids in many soap
and detergent applications. The System One® Vortex Pump
is designed specifically for solids handling.

Which Blackmer
pumps can prevent slip?
Both Blackmer sliding vane and eccentric
disc Series pumps are designed to offer extremely low slippage
rates… significantly less than lobe and gear type
pumps in most applications.

Does Blackmer make a mag-drive
pump?
Blackmer’s SMVP mag-drive pump is typically used
in the pre-mixer and mixer/blending processes of liquid detergents
and throughout all aspects of the batch and continuous processes
during the manufacture of soap. The SMVP meets the need for
zero shaft leakage when handling expensive, hazardous or
hard-to-seal fluids.
