Downsized Lobe Pump Cutaway
Model Number: 278-136D
A sectioned, hand-operated positive displacement pump for realistic classroom maintenance and operations training.
Overview
DAC Worldwide’s Downsized Lobe Pump Cutaway (278-136D) depicts a sectioned, hand-operated, positive displacement lobe-type pump and allows for convenient classroom training in the design, operation, construction, and maintenance of these common process pumps used in industry. Used extensively within the food, mining, agricultural and pharmaceutical industries, these aluminum-body lobe-type positive displacement pumps are self-priming and non-contacting, allowing for effective use with slurries, pastes, high viscosity liquids, as well as in dispensing lubricating oils, fuel oils, gasoline, and other petroleum-based liquids. Selected and assembled to support introductory process operations and maintenance training programs, this real-world learning solution provides the same utility found in equipment used on-the-job. All of the pump’s components have been retained, allowing for convenient classroom training in the operation, construction, and maintenance of these common pieces of process equipment.
