UTX - Turbine Pump
A turbine pump is a convenient pump suitable for handling relatively small amounts of liquid with high total head. The YOKOTA Self-Priming Turbine Pump has such strong self-priming power that it can be used for suction from deep wells with continuous pumping even if suction or mixture of air occurs. This pump is also suitable for industrial applications such as filter suction pumping and extraction from sealed tanks (vacuum tanks). In any application, this pump enables automatic operation with high reliability.
Outstanding self-priming performance
The patented self-priming (water-air separating) mechanism reaches a maximum vacuum of 90kPa (9m water column) and displays outstanding self-priming power.
A large amount of incoming air can be separated and discharged during pumping. Even if pumping becomes subject to suction or mixture of air due to fluctuations of suction conditions, it continues pumping, constantly discharging air, and restores normal pumping operation as soon as suction conditions return to normal. Even continuous suction of air-containing water (i.e., gas-liquid two-phase pumping) is possible
Even if cavitation develops due to fluctuations of suction conditions such as water level, temperature, or vacuum level on the suction side, this pump can still continue its pumping operation. Therefore, this pump does not require allowance for NPSH, and enables stable pumping operation even under fluctuating suction conditions.
Thus, it can pump water from a 9m deep well, and it also shows outstanding performance for extraction from sealed (vacuum) tanks.
Simple structure without any inlet valve, No need for a foot valve
Due to its simple structure without any inlet check valve, it is robust and easy to maintain. Moreover, there is no need for installing a foot valve or an intermediate valve on the intake side under ordinary operating conditions.
Operation is also easy with no need for priming.
Large selection of materials
A wide variety of materials are available, including FC, CAC, SCS and YOKOTA`s corrosion and wear resistant special stainless steel casting (YST), to meet the needs of various kinds of liquid.
