STX Series Sliding Vane Pumps

The stainless steel Blackmer® STX sliding vane pumps are designed for the fast loading and unloading of corrosive and non-corrosive fluids. They can offload a 22,700-liter tanker for as fast as 24 minutes. The STX pumps are self-priming and easy to maintain, with the sliding vanes as the only wear-prone parts. The non-metallic vanes are also easy to replace using only ordinary hand tools. Other notable features of the STX sliding vane pumps include run-dry capability, adjustable relief valves, weld flanges, and versatile mounting brackets.

Design Advantages

  • 316 stainless steel with external ball bearing for longer life with corrosive products

PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION

Blackmer sliding vane pumps use a rotor with sliding vanes to draw liquid into the pump. This rotor is located close to the wall of the cam so that a crescent-shaped cavity is formed on the opposite wall. Each rotor slot contains a sliding vane. As the rotor rotates, centrifugal force, hydraulic pressure, and push rods work together to extend each vane to the casing wall. This creates an expanding cavity on the inlet side – creating a vacuum that pulls liquid into the pump. The liquid is trapped between the vanes and the casing wall. The rotor rotation moves the liquid cavities around to the outlet side of the pump. The vanes are forced back into their slots at the outlet side, decreasing the cavity size and forcing the liquid through the outlet port.
