Patz Model 6000E Electric Drive Vertical Pit Pump - Features

Bearing Pack

For servicing, the bearing pack can be entirely removed from the 6" x 6" main frame due to the splined shaft.

 

Grease line to purge seals (every 8 hours).
   
Two-way neoprene seal (seals between oil and grease chamber)
   
Two seals: one-way neoprene seals
   
Tapered shaft for ease of service.
   
All stainless-steel hardware below liquid line
   
Grease chamber to keep contaminants from reaching bearings
   
1-1/2" tapered roller bearing to handle thrust & load.
   
1-3/8" tapered roller bearing to handle thrust & load.
   
Neoprene slinger washer for added seal protection
   
Seal cap allows for removal of seals without disturbing oil reserve
   
End cap shimmed to control end-play
   
1-13/16" fatigue-proof alloy steel
   
Hardened SAE 6 spline shaft.
   


Impeller

Voluted design of the housing and curved blades are constantly being loaded and unloaded, keeping a constant positive pressure at the discharge point. As the impeller turns, slurry is forced to the outer band area, which becomes larger as slurry approaches the discharge point. More slurry is being constantly added to the impeller blades as slurry moves away.

 

The chopper bar is angled to push material into the housing.
   
AR400 Abrasion-resisting steel forms the housing and shredder plate.
   
The 20" x 4" (508 x 102 mm) impeller features curved blades.
   
Stainless steel hardware below liquid line.
