How Does it Work?

The functionality entails a rotating cylinder, with either slots or rotors that house a series of sliding vanes that rotate inside. These rotors are offset in a bore casing, so during rotations, these vanes can easily slide in and out. It further helps in creating expansion and contracting volumes to transfer liquids through the pump.

Vane Pump Applications

Corken vane pumps have been designed to handle various fluids across numerous industrial applications. These pumps are ideal for petroleum transport, fuel loading terminals, bulk plant, mobile (trailers and portable skid units), to name a few. They come in several configurations and can also handle fluids with an expansive range of pressure, and temperatures. Designed using ductile iron casing and motor rotors, the functionality includes pumping out clean fuels, as well as light oils and gas. The vanes display sufficient lubricity, preventing it from moving between the slots and against the interior surface of the casing. Additional features that enhance its efficiency include the following:

• Operating at higher speeds, therefore reducing the cost per gallon.
• Available with integral gear reducers requiring less space and lower initial cost.
• A wide range of porting options. These include flanged ports that meet the ANSI standards for ductile iron models.
