NETZSCH Pumps TORNADO T1 Generation F rotary lobe pump

The TORNADO T1 Generation F pump from NETZSCH Pumps is designed to produce high flow at low to medium pressures in a small compact package. It is suitable for applications in biogas and biomass plants, and can handle a wide range of viscosities, solids, temperature, abrasion, and corrosive/acidic process fluids and environments.

Its robust design offers longevity, operational flexibility and dry-run capabilities. It allows the pump to operate and handle many upset process conditions without causing harm to the pump. The pumps are available up to over 4000 gpm and up to 130 psi.

As a Full Service-in-Place (FSIP) pump, the front pullout design allows for easy access for maintenance and inspection. Opening the front cover allows access to the wear plates, lobes and seals, making the pump easy to service. Additionally, there is no need to access the timing gears or bearing as they are protected with the NETZSCH Gearbox Security System (GSS). This feature protects the gearbox from the process side of the pump (wet-end).

The GSS is an air gap that exists between the mechanical seal and the lip seal of the timing gearbox that establishes a physical separation between them. Should the mechanical seal leak, no product can get into the pump’s gearbox to contaminate the timing gear oil. The air gap allows for the process fluid to drip away from the shaft and timing gearbox to prevent damage; the process fluid physically cannot pass through the air gap and migrate past the gearbox lip seal.
