Model MLN Sliding Vane Pumps, part of the Heavy Duty Line of sliding vane pumps, are ideal for handling thin to highly viscous fluids such as oils, asphalts, molasses and adhesives. These positive displacement rotary pumps are constructed with ductile iron, and are ideal for handling everything from thin non-lubricating solvents, to highly viscous liquids or abrasive slurries. The MLN features internal self-lubricating carbon sleeve bearings and PTFE-impregnated shaft packing. Options include Blackmer® or commercial single or double mechanical seals.
