A TORNADO® rotary lobe pump fastened onto a mobile base – this is the NETZSCH TORNADO® Mobile. The concept of mounting the equipment onto a car or truck trailer makes it possible to pump large quantities of fluids with solid content, wastewater and slurries at the most unusual of sites. Based on the given application, a TORNADO® rotary lobe pump is selected in the appropriate size and then simply installed onto a trailer. High capacity and low space requirements make the TORNADO® Mobile ideal for use in any disaster situation.
Pump type XLB-8/2
Bi-directional, self-priming rotary lobe pump, with pulsation-free helical lobes made from GG25 cast iron with NBR rubber coating, supported by two bearings. Adjustable housing half-shells and replaceable frontal wear plates.
Diesel Drive
Powerful Deutz 112 kW / 149 PS 4-cylinder diesel drive, 4-stroke direct injection engine, water cooler, fuel filter, air filter, injection pump, lubricating oil filter, oil pan, oil level dipstick, thermostat, cooling fan. 12 V starter. Soundproof hood ensures quiet operation. Suction filter, exhaust assembly with silencer.
Connections
Suction: 3 x DN 159 Perrot V Type; discharge: 3 x DN 159 V Type (Storz A or other types of connections also possible). Discharge ports on side of unit, each fitted with a blind cover; all pipes and flanges hot-dip galvanized.
Trailer
Completely hot-dip galvanized; made from stable, torsionally rigid structural steel with drive consoles and vibration dampers. Stable, hinged front support wheel; 4 supports with hand crank. Overrun brake with auto-reverse, fitted with with DIN towing eye for truck hitching; tarp and bows. Total weight 3400 kg.
1 Front Cover
Rotors, cover seal and product seals can be accessed for inspection, service or replacement by simply removing the front cover. Disassembly of the inlet and outlet pipework and pump housing is not necessary.
2 Wear Plates
Abrasion and chemically resistant, replaceable wear plates are fitted both sides of the rotors.
3 Rotors
Straight sided or helical rotors are selected to suit individual application requirements. Rotors are available as bi-lobe, tri-lobe or four-lobe and a wide range of materials is available. The rotor geometry and material are selected for the characteristics of the pumped media. Geometries are available for products which are viscous, abrasive or contain solids. Materials tailored to the media characteristics increase the durability of the rotors and extend service life.
4 Housing Crescents
Modular construction allows for the crescents to be simply replaced should wear occur. Pump life time can be further extended with the option of replaceable crescent liners.
5 Seals
Wide range of product seals and materials are available, which are selected to suit individual application requirements. Seal arrangements include easy access connections for seal quench or flush.
6 Gearbox
The patented gearbox design includes NETZSCH GSS-Technology separating the pump head from the gear box which eliminates cross contamination between the pump media and gear box lubricant.
- Flexible use in the most unusual places through mounting on trailers
- Extended operational reliability
- No ingress of the pumped media into the pump gearbox in the event of a product leaking
- No ingress of pump gearbox oil into the pump chamber
- Lubrication/cooling of the seal through easily accessible flushing/sealing water connections
- Maximum operational reliability
- High pumping speed up to eight mWS
- Insensitive to dry running
- Independent of direction of rotation
- Low life cycle costs
- Easy operation due to electronic motor control management
