When chemicals run off into pits it can be difficult to draw this back out for processing through the trade waste system with conventional pumps. The Finish Thompson Self Priming Magnetic Drive pumps allow the chemicals to be drawn from up to 4 metres below.

The Problem

When chemicals run off into pits it can be difficult to draw this back out for processing through the trade waste system with conventional pumps. There are a few submersible pumps that will perform this however with them comes the added risk of servicing a pump next to or in a pit with acid flowing in.

Our Solution

The Finish Thompson Self Priming Magnetic Drive pumps allow the chemicals to be drawn from up to 4 metres below. The magnetic drive eliminates the risk of seal failure and keeps the chemical completely contained from the atmosphere. Magnetic drive pumps are the safest and most reliable way to transfer bulk chemicals.

THE PROBLEM

All-Pumps was approached by the client to help them with a solution for supplying a fire pump for a wharf off a port in WA. The wharf sits a few hundred meters into the ocean and the area where the pump was to go had no water supply. The duty required for the fire pump was 97 LPS @ 105m head.

THE SOLUTION

All Pumps worked with the client-nominated design consultants to help conceptualize a fire pump involving a vertical line shaft pump coupled to a diesel engine. The duty required would be met by a Caprari P14C pump coupled to a 208 kW Welling & Crossley 6120 Ti fire pump. All-Pumps designed, fabricated & supplied a heavy-duty galvanised base frame to mount the engine and pump along with a 450-litre diesel tank with its own base frame. The pump was manufactured in Marine Grade Bronze and Duplex Stainless Steel, offering the best resistance to seawater at temperatures above 35 Degrees Celsius. All-Pumps also designed, fabricated and supplied a 600NB 316SS shroud to protect the submerged pump against wave impacts.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS

All Pumps not only helped the client create a solution for the project but also helped the client to allocate a budget for the project before winning it in a competitive tender. The system was supplied on time & in budget which also helped us get commendations from the client. Furthermore, All Pumps were invited to help the client with commissioning the system which was accepted and completed to wide satisfactions & appreciation.

Gear Pumps as Molasses Pumps

Molasses is the residue left after the crystallisation of sucrose. It is relatively little used in confectionery apart from in the manufacture of liquorice, which is its largest use, and in making treacle toffee. In this product the treacle adds colour and flavour. The definition of treacle in some dictionaries is sufficiently wide to include golden syrup, however, in this work treacle means a black syrup made by diluting molasses. Golden syrup is a golden-coloured syrup produced by partially inverting a cane sugar syrup, which could be regarded as the equivalent of invert sugar lightly contaminated with molasses. Golden syrup is occasionally used in confectionery for flavour and colour – Source Science Direct

Pump Types For Molasses

A blue industrial gear pump

When pumping Molasses the ideal pump type to be used is a Gear Pump. Gear pumps are a type of rotary positive displacement pump, meaning they pump a constant amount of fluid for each revolution. Gear pumps transfer fluid by gears coming in and out of the mesh to create a non-pulsating pumping action. Gear pumps are able to pump at high pressures and excel at pumping high viscosity liquids efficiently.

Why use a gear pump for handling molasses?

Gear pumps work well in handling fluids that are highly viscous (in common terms fluids or liquids that are very thick and sticky). If you need to handle high-viscosity fluids a gear pump is one of your best options. 

Another reason for using a gear pump to handle molasses is its flow rate. Gear pumps have a very controllable and steady flow rate, this is ideal for food processing and applications where accurate amounts of fluids need to be added through a pump.

Brands Of Gear Pumps For Molasses

At All Pumps we stock several brands of Gear Pumps that are ideal for pumping molasses.

Tuthill pump logo

An example of a good gear pump for molasses is the Roper 2835 series specifically designed to pump viscous fluids up to 100,000 ssu.

Directly couples to standard electrical motor pressures up to 75 PSI.

Physical Properties Of Molasses – Viscosity

The viscosity of a liquid is a measurement of its resistance to flow. Unlike low viscosity liquids such as water, molasses exhibits a laminar flow pattern with the liquid particles remaining in straight lines to form a series of concentric rings which shear against each other. The result of this type of flow pattern is the velocity of the liquid next to the pipe wall is virtually at zero, with maximum velocity at the centre core of the pipe. This is why the molasses pipework around a feed mill should be of a suitably large diameter and the pumps should be positive displacement working at 100-200 rpm.

Molasses – 5,000 to 10,000 centipoise (cps)

Centipoise

Viscosity is the measurement of a fluid’s internal resistance to flow. This is typically designated in units of centipoise or poise but can be expressed in other acceptable measurements as well. Some conversion factors are as follows:

100 Centipoise = 1 Poise
1 Centipoise = 1 mPa s (Millipascal Second)
1 Poise = 0.1 Pa s (Pascal Second)
Centipoise = Centistoke x Specific Gravity

Viscosity of often referred to as the thickness of a fluid. You can think of water (low viscosity) and honey (high viscosity). However, this definition can be confusing when we are looking at fluids with different densities.

At a molecular level, viscosity is a result the interaction between the different molecules in a fluid.This can be also understood as friction between the molecules in the fluid. Just like in the case of friction between moving solids, viscosity will determine the energy required to make a fluid flow.

How Fluid Viscosity Affects Pump Selection:

One of the most important aspect to understand before any pump selection is the viscosity of the fluid which is going to be pumped.

Fluid viscosity or thickness will affect how it will behave in a pump. However, this is where things start becoming complicated because the viscosity of fluids/liquids can change under different conditions.

What Is Thee Most Important About Viscosity During Pump Selection?

Viscosity is essentially resistance to flow and this has implications for pumps. If you have a high-viscosity, sticky fluid on your hands, it clings and it’s much harder to remove than a low-viscosity fluid.

It is the same in a pump, where you use impellers instead of your hands, to move the fluid. If you are pumping fluids like motor oil that stick to the surface of the impeller, this is a problem that needs to be considered.

Viscosity Visual Identification

We understand at times there are liquids that are foreign to your experience and their technical data may not always be apparent, so we have prepared this visual representation of viscosity to better aid you in identifying at least a ballpark centipoise value of your liquid.

The Application

Pumping tomato paste from 205lt drums into euro bins to then transfer to cooking tanks.

The Solution

Previously was using a single post drum unloader by a competitor. This system was creating a lot of wasted product due to tomato paste being left in the drum or it coming over the top of the seal.

The Graco drum unloader system has an inflatable seal preventing paste from coming over the top of the seal. It also evacuates 99.9% of the drum contents.
