Blackmer® TLGLF3 and TLGLF4 truck propane pumps, part of the Cavitation Line of sliding vane pumps, are designed to flange mount directly to a commercial internal control valve, in combination with the tank of a propane bobtail or LPG transport truck, and are ideal for LPG, propane, butane and anhydrous ammonia applications. Direct mounting of the propane transfer pump eliminates the need for inlet pipes, shut-off valve and external strainer, which can restrict flow and cause vaporization problems. The result is smoother operation and longer pump life.
Features and Benefits
Pumps are listed by Underwriters Laboratory for both LPG and anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service
Cavitation suppression liner design for reducing the noise, vibration, and wear normally caused by entrained vapors
Replaceable casing, liners and end discs allow easy rebuilding of the pumping chamber to like-new condition
Ductile-iron construction with internal relief valve
Equipped with a double-ended drive shaft for clockwise or counterclockwise rotation by simply changing position of pump
Contains auxiliary intake port which can be used for emergency unloading of another tank or transport
Durable pumps for fast and quiet operation, providing sustained performance and trouble-free operation
Blackmer mechanical seal and ball bearing construction provide maximum reliability
Symmetrical bearing support assures even loading and wear for long life
Internal relief valve protects pump against excessive pressures
External ball bearings are isolated from pumpage by mechanical seals to maximize bearing life and minimize contamination risk
Advantages of sliding vane technology:
Unique sliding-vane pump design self-adjusts for wear to maintain flow rates
Excellent self-priming and dry-run capabilities
Sliding vane design provides sustained performance and trouble-free operation
Easy maintenance: vanes can be easily replaced without removing the pump from the piping system
