The new pump features an elastomer insert design that saves energy, reduces wear, and increases overall service life. Vulcanised onto the edges of the lobes to create a permanent hard-soft contact between the lobes throughout the 360° rotation cycle, the insert avoids high-wear contact between elastomer parts. The insert acts as a stator and is subject to less dynamic load and deformation than a traditional rotary lobe pump design.
The new pump design also replaces complex timing gear with a robust synchronous toothed belt drive system. The drive greatly reduces the danger of transmission damage and also decreases required weight and installation space. Since the drive requires no lubrication, the chance of oil leaks is completely eliminated.
The TORNADO T2 features the innovative FSIP (full service in place) design, which improves access for inspection, cleaning, service and replacing parts.
Simply removing the cover plate on the TORNADO T2 allows quick and easy access to the pump chamber. The rotors can be removed and replaced easily and quickly because they are not bolted or keyed to the shafts inside the pump head. The rotors’ geometry allows their independent removal without the need for special tools.
