pumps have some of the highest cavitation levels in cases of 30 to 40 vapor which allows for continuous operation in extreme environments Engineers are able to assess any problems in the pumping system and determine where a cavitation suppression liner is needed Perhaps its an application with numerous system design flaws such as long piping undersized piping or tumultuous pipe routing Most pumping setups would benefit from the operational flexibility provided by a cavitation suppression liner Conclusion Unchecked cavitation will harm pumps in many ways among them excessive wear of internal components breakdowns product leakage and compromised operation A reliable solution to the negative effects of cavitation can be found in the capabilities of the cavitation suppression liner which can be paired with sliding vane positive displacement pumps If you are struggling with a severe duty application or problem pipe routing that leads to the creation of damaging cavitation outfitting the sliding vane pump with a cavitation suppression liner can be the ultimate solution Geoff VanLeeuwen is the product management director for Blackmer He can be reached at geoff vanleeuwen@ psgdover com For more information on the full line of Blackmer pumps and compressors call 616 241 1611 or visit www blackmer com Blackmer Grand Rapids MI USA is a product brand of PSG a Dover company Oakbrook Terrace IL USA Blackmer www blackmer com Kemutec now part of Schenck Process Kemutec is now part of Schenck Process a leading global supplier of bulk material handling systems enhancing our powder processing equipment material testing and service capabilities You will continue to work with the same people at Kemutec and we will seamlessly provide sieving milling and mixing solutions By consolidating our product portfolio with Schenck Process we are excited to complement our powder processing solutions with complete material handling systems to customers throughout the Food Chemical Pharmaceutical and Environmental Industries AUGUST 2019 www processingmagazine com 17 Kemutec Part of the Schenck Process Group 130 Wharton Road Bristol PA 19007 215 788 8013 Sales@ KemutecUSA com www KemutecUSA com www SchenckProcess com us The cavitation suppression liner from Blackmer eliminates the destructive chattering that is a result of cavitating fluids by breaking large vapor bubbles into smaller bubbles before they have a chance to implode The result is less noise less wear and less chance that the pump will be susceptible to disruptive failures Sliding vane pumps outfitted with cavitation suppression liners are available for use in the handling of a wide variety of fluids in both stationary and transport applications Visit processingmagazine com for more on pump systems MORE ONLINE
