Vanton FLEX-I-LINER® peristaltic type rotary
pumps transfer, sample or meter acids, caustics, solvents,
salts, chlorides and reagent grade chemicals even viscous
fluids and slurries containing soft solids and abrasives.
Only two non-metallic parts contact fluid
the rugged thermoplastic body block and durable, replaceable
elastomeric flexible liner. This easy-to-service construction
keeps maintenance and downtime low.
The wide choice of thermoplastics and elastomers
in which these pumps are furnished permits their use over
the full pH range and for an endless list of corrosive, volatile,
abrasive clear and viscous fluids, as well as for vacuum service
and gas transfer.
The gentle peristaltic pumping action minimizes
foaming, prevents settling out of suspensions and permits
safe handling of latex emulsions and other shear-sensitive
liquids.
Sealless, non-metallic and self-priming, FLEX-I-LINER®
pumps operate in either direction, wet or dry, in any position.
Their unique design eliminates shaft seals, glands, internal
seals, stuffing boxes and other potential sources of leakage.
Offered in Pedestal Mount and Close Coupled
models, FLEX-I-LINER® pumps can be furnished with electric
motors,
with rotary vane air motors or with variable speed drives
for metering purposes.
Every Vanton pump is fully tested to verify
performance with all data permanently recorded.
Over 140,000 of these dependable sealless, self-priming
pumps are in service handling aggressive and other problem
fluids.

Designed without stuffing boxes, glands, shaft seals or
interval valves, there is no danger of external leakage.
Only two components are in contact with the fluid-the inner
surface of the plastic pump body and the outer surface of
the rugged replaceable elastomeric flexible liner. This
easy-to-service construction keeps maintenance and downtime
low. More than 125,000 of these dependable sealless, self-priming
pumps are in service handling aggressive and other problem
fluids.
DESIGN
AND CONSTRUCTION
UNIQUE DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION MEANS TROUBLE-FREE
OPERATION AND LOW MAINTENANCE
A
rotor mounted on an eccentric shaft oscillates within the
flexible liner, creating a progressive squeegee action on
the fluid trapped in the channel between the liner and the
body block. Flanges on the flexible liner are pressed to
the sides of the body block by concentric grooves on the
pedestal assembly and the cover plate. This serves to isolate
the fluid to the channel. Pump models are available close-coupled
or pedestal -mounted to an electric motor, or air-powered
for handling volatile fluids.
Flex-I-Liner
pumps are available in duplex configuration with manifolds
providing common suction and discharge connections, and
in sanitary design with flame-polished interiors and quick-disconnect
fittings. These pumps are ideally suited for use on a variety
of stationary and mobile acid buggies for the transfer of
chemicals in laboratory and plant operations, as well as
for incorporation on OEM equipment.
The
wide choice of thermoplastics and elastomers in which these
pumps are furnished permits their use over the full pH range
and for an endless list of corrosive and abrasive clear
and viscous fluids. Although published data for specific
chemicals are available, the most reliable guide to material
selection for those difficult-to-pump applications is the
Vanton half-century of experience.
FLEX-I-LINER® Pumps Specifications and
Ratings
1.Pump
bodies are provided in Teflon, polypropylene, UHMW (ultra
high molecular weight) polyethylene, and other nonmetallic
materials. Stainless steel body available on request.
2.The heavy duty replaceable flexible liners are available
in a wide choice of chemically resistant natural and synthetic
elastomeric materials, including natural rubber, neoprene,
Buna N, Hypalon, Viton and Nordel.
3.Field replacement of the precision molded flexible liners
is accomplished without the use of special tooling.
4.The design eliminates stuffing boxes, glands, shaft seals,
gaskets or internal valves.
5.The pump is self-priming and capable of running dry.
6.Shaft and rotor bearings are completely isolated from
the fluid cavity, eliminating any danger of corrosion, or
contamination of the fluid being pumped.
7.Pumps are suitable for vacuum and gas sampling
service, for handling volatile liquids, viscous fluids and
slurries, even those with soft solids.
Drum Pump runs dry,
self primes, cuts maintenance.
