TORNADO T1 rotary lobe pump

NETZSCH TORNADO T1 self-priming, valveless rotary lobe pump built on the full-service-in-place principle: all wetted parts are accessible by opening the front cover (24 screws) without dismantling pipework or disconnecting the drive, with the GSS gearbox security system that keeps product out of the synchronizing gear and gear oil out of the pump chamber. Three series with a total of eighteen sizes (MB up to 35 m³/h, XB 115 m³/h, XLB 900 m³/h; the XXLB-F up to 1,400 m³/h at 12 bar) cover 1 to 1,000 m³/h at up to 10 bar, viscosities up to 100,000 cP and a suction lift of up to 8 m; dry-run tolerant and reversible, as a mobile unit on trailers with electric, diesel or hydraulic drive.
