CHEM-GARD^® PGOVERVIEWFEATURESENGINEERING SPECIFICATIONS (PDF)

Features

1. Priming chamber molded from virgin, homogeneous thermoplastics incorporates an integrally molded, one-piece chamber, which includes an accessible check valve, inner casing and internal fluid passages, which holds prime upon shut down, unless drained for maintenance. 
    
2. Dynamically balanced, closed vane thermoplastic impellers with molded-in stainless steel inserts assure rigidity, and are key locked to the shaft. 
    
3. No bolted-on accessories or blind recesses to impede complete drainage. 
    
4. Interchangeable sliding bar pedestal which permits retrofitting with standard Vanton CHEM-GARD®pumps. 
    
5. Suction port designed to allow for rotation.

6. The award winning wide-open power frame with a retractable inboard bearing assures minimal shaft deflection and impeller overhang and facilitates easy mechanical seal inspection and readjustment. The unique pedestal design allows for the use of most commercially available mechanical seals without the need for modification. Mechanical seals are reverse mounted, exposing only the non-metallic seal faces to the fluid handled. 
    
7. Heavy duty, self-aligning bearings widely spaced on the shaft, assures perfect alignment for maximum stability and long seal life. 
    
8. Stainless steel heavy-duty shaft isolated from fluid by thick-sectioned thermoplastic sleeve.
