This self-priming pump is specifically engineered to handle air-liquid mixtures, commonly encountered in CIP return systems or processes with residual air. Its air-handling capability depends on factors such as system conditions and pump size, but a general estimate is provided below:

Air-Fraction Handling Capability

The pump can effectively manage an air-fraction of up to 50% (by volume) at the inlet under standard operating conditions.

• Practical Implications: If the incoming fluid mixture consists of up to 50% air and 50% liquid, the pump maintains functionality without losing its prime or experiencing significant performance degradation.

• Operational Requirements: Achieving this performance assumes proper pump sizing, sufficient NPSH (Net Positive Suction Head) availability, and an adequately controlled backpressure within the system.

Key Factors Influencing Air-Fraction Management

1. Pump Size: Larger models are generally more effective at handling higher air fractions compared to smaller units.
2. Fluid Properties: Surfactants, frequently present in CIP cleaning solutions, help stabilize air bubbles, allowing the pump to manage the mixture more efficiently.
3. System Design: Configurations that minimize excessive air entrainment, beyond typical CIP return levels, enhance the pump's capability to handle air-liquid mixtures.

Additional Considerations

If the air-fraction exceeds 50%, the pump may still operate, but with reduced efficiency and flow rates. For systems with exceptionally high air fractions or excessive foaming, it may be necessary to integrate air separators or deaerators to ensure stable and reliable operation.

Additional Offerings

We also offer a complete Seal Kit (O-rings and Mechanical Seal) for $250.00 and can supply all necessary spare parts.

If you would like, we can provide a formal quote, which includes a Lenze VFD Controller and an IEC Marathon Motor (4 HP). Additionally, we can review your application to confirm compatibility.

As an alternative, the team has also considered a centrifugal pump with an internal mechanical seal. Please let us know your preference or if further clarification is needed.

Shipping:

NOTE: Customer is responsible for: Removing the shipment from the truck (when applied), bringing it into your location, and noting damaged or missing items on the carrier's delivery receipt.

• Orders for “in-stock” items will normally ship the same day or next day 

For International buyers: Please contact us, includes Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico. Customer is responsible for clearing customs and all associated fees. We won't under-value merchandise.

• All orders are shipped prepaid.

• The address must be in a commercial area and someone must be at the site to receive deliveries during normal business hours.

• We will apply shipping company’s fees for any problem with delivery caused by the customer error.

• Many carriers cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes but we can offer shipments via the United States Postal Service.

• Rural businesses are sometimes considered residential

• Any delivery time stated by the Company shall be treated as an estimate only. While every effort will be made to dispatch goods on time, no liability can be accepted by the Company for failure to deliver within the advertised times. The Company shall not be liable for any loss or damage whatsoever (including consequential loss of profit or revenue) arising directly or indirectly from any delay on the delivery of all or any of the goods and services, howsoever caused.

Returns:

• Inspect merchandise upon delivery and report any damage or shortage within two business days. Mixer, Positive Displacement  Seals, and spares are considered custom, so they cant be returned.  
• Returns must be authorized by Texas Process Technologies. You must contact us to obtain an RMA “Return Material Authorization Number” before returning an item within 14 days from receipt of goods.
• Final sales apply to some of our items due to their nature, which means that they can not be returned or refunded unless the item is defective in which the warranty agreement applies. These items may include but are not limited to: electric motors, VFDs, any elastomeric products (such as gaskets, seals and o-rings), special order items and modified items.
• Custom orders cannot be returned. This includes: made-to-measure items, modified items, special request items as well as pumps that have been adapted to your needs (for example, positive displacement pumps assembly that include the pump, gear box, the motor and other components are specifically designed for each customer which will not work in other applications, therefore, making the assembly non-returnable) as well as custom cuts on tubing or spools. 
• No returns accepted for tubing.
• Returns caused by customer ordering errors will be charged round trip freight, and a 20% restocking fee, all returns are freight pre-paid by the customer. Returns must be received in unused resalable condition (new and in original package)
• If any Product fails because of a Warrantable Defect during the Limited Warranty Period, Texas Process Technologies will, in its sole discretion, either (1) repair the Product or (2) replace the Product. Please read our product Warranty.
• Returned items that are not defective may be charged a restocking fee of 20%.
• Prior to choosing “check out”, you must be sure this product meets your expectations. If you are not sure, please contact us before ordering.
