Blackmer has added the SX3 Series to its line of stainless steel sliding vane pumps. The SX3 Series stationary process pump is ideal for solvents, chemicals, sulfates, vegetable oils, biodiesel, urea, and many acids. The new SX3 is a modified version of the STX3 transport pump, which was introduced in 1999 and designed for corrosive and non-corrosive fluids that were not compatible with cast-iron pumps.

The SX3 can be mounted on base plates and includes a single-end shaft. Constructed with 316 stainless steel, the SX3 is designed with external ball bearings, non-metallic Duravanes, PTFE elastomers, and Blackmer chemical mechanical seals. These design features permit a range of chemical compatibility and reduce the possibility of leaks.

Non-metallic Duravanes allow the SX3 to run dry for short periods for self-priming and line stripping.

The SX3 is ideal for high-capacity process applications between 100 and 250 gpm. Offering external bearings, 3-inch weld flanges, and chemical-compatible Duravanes, the SX3 Series offers low shear, non-pulsing flow and pressure capacities to 125 psi (8.6 bar) with vacuum capabilities for self-priming, loading/unloading, and line stripping applications.
