EPS - Model RVP Range -Baseplate Mounted Offloading/Stripping Pump
The EPS Range of Vane pumps offers extremely efficient suction and self priming capabilities. The range covers duties up to 1000 l/min. The sliding vane operating principle imparts a very low rate of shear to the material being handled and provides a smooth, almost pulsationless flow. Sliding vane pumps “self-adjust” to compensate for “normal wear,” providing like-new pump performance over the life of the product. When repairs are required, maintenance is a simple, requiring few tools and minimal training to ensure proper performance.
RVP-Series pumps are rotary vane type, self-priming, provided with integral by-pass valve to protect the pump and system against overpressure. The sliding vane pump consists of a rotor turning inside a cam that is machined eccentrically in relation to the rotor. As the rotor turns, the liquid that is trapped between the rotor, cam and vanes is displaced. The RVP Series pumps are made with vanes produced from advanced polymers which exhibit extremely low coefficients of friction. The self adjusting vanes compensate for wear and help extend the life of the pump. Originally designed for fuel and light petroleum products applications, EPS RVP pumps are also available in special executions for industrial and chemical products like solvents, resins, inks and so on. Due to its efficiency this kind of pump can handle viscous and also volatile liquids and requires less horsepower than other equivalent pumps.

The high volumetric efficiency and symmetrical bearing support of our pumps means they require less horsepower than other positive displacement pumps. So, you spend less on motors initially and less on electricity to operate the pumps once they are installed. How much less? Typically our pump may require up to 30% less power than other positive displacement pump types in handling fluids from 1 to 108,000 cSt.
Symmetrical bearing support and rugged construction assures reliable performance.
Our pumps are available with grease lubricated ball or roller bearings and mechanical shaft seals. This unique design isolates the pumped product from the bearings, maintains seal face alignment and maximizes seal flushing for cooling. The result is optimum seal and bearing life.
