Helical gear pumps

1.

Fields of Application

3.

RC pumps are used for pumping viscous and with lubricating

properties liquids without solids in applications such as:

2.

Marine industry: motor lubrication, fuel feed, fuel

transfer and lub-oil transfer.

Oil: mineral and vegetable oils, oil derivates,

greases and additives

Petrochemical industry: liquid polymers, viscous

solvents, emulsions, adhesives, fuel oil, diesel oil

Chemical industry: liquid soap paste, soya oil,

glycerine,..

Paint and lacquer industry: binders, colouring

matters, solvents, textile dyes

Flexible, rubber plug type coupling for all pump sizes, except
for RC-00 and RC-01, that are close coupled type.

Coupling guard: Metallic protections are supplied as

standard.
6.5 Base Plate
The horizontal pumps, from RC-1 to RC-4R sizes, can be
supplied on a base plate or bare shaft.
Base plate: of steel, welded or U-rails for complete unit (pump
and motor).

6.6 Safety valve

All the pumps include an adjustable bypass valve for internal
safety.

6. Components

Direction of rotation

6.1 Shaft seal

Mechanical seal is supplied as standard for biggest sizes. For
RC-00 and RC-01- shaft seal is by means of several lip seals.

Fixed as standard. If customer wants to change the direction

of rotation of the gears and thus the the direction of pumped
fluid, contact KSB ITUR for feasibility since modifications to
standard configuration pump must be carried out.

6.2 Driv e

7. Certification

IEC frame electric motor.

Certified quality management according to ISO-9001

6.3 Bearings / Lubrication

The RC-00 and RC-01 size pumps do not have independent
friction bearing bushes and its upper shaft supports on the
motor bearings.
In the models RC-1, RC1 and RC2, the shafts and gears
are supported by removable friction bearings housed in the
side covers.
On the models RC-2R, RC2RD, RC3R and RC4R, they
are supported by ball bearings, housed in the intermediate
support.
In all cases the bearings are lubricated by the pumped fluid..
