SAMPI - Model RVP Series - Rotary Vane Type -Self-Priming Pump

RVP-Series pumps are rotary vane type, self-priming, provided with an 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 eccentrically machined in relation to the rotor. As the rotor turns, the vanes sliding up and then down from/to it displace the liquid forward. The RVP Series pumps are made with vanes produced from advanced polymers which exhibit extremely low friction coefficients. The self-adjusting vanes compensate for wear and help extend the life of the pump. SAMPI RVP Pumps are originally designed for fuel and light petroleum products applications: due to their efficiency, they can handle volatile liquids and require less horsepower than other equivalent pumps.
