Tuthill pumps have been one of the top names in positive displacement pumping solutions for almost 100 years, with unrivalled technical expertise in the field. They manufacturer a wide range of different pumps, including lubrication pumps, magnetically coupled pumps and process pumps. Today, we are looking at 4 popular uses for Tuthill Pumps:
1. Box Corrugation
To create corrugating boxes, a thin piece of wavey fibre paper is sandwiched between outer fibre papers, glued with a special potato, wheat, or cornstarch-based glue. Many issues can arise with starch-based adhesives, such as thinning viscosity, a short seal life, and leakages, which can all be addressed by Tuthill Pumps. Thanks to the design of the pumps and their sealing technology, any pressure spikes that can arise will be no issue, and you’ll be guaranteed a long life for your components and seals.
2. Automotive Fuel Injection Cleaning
Another use for Tuthill Pumps is automotive fuel injection cleaning. Tuthill Miniature Magnetically Coupled External Gear Pumps are often used to supply cleaning agents mixed with gasoline or diesel fuel to vehicles. Furthermore, thanks to the vehicle’s engine battery powering the pumps, the machines are entirely portable.
Tuthill Miniature Magnetically Coupled External Gear Pumps offer a leak-free design, smooth flow, high-pressure capability, high efficiency, a compact size, and a long life, making them the perfect solution for fuel injection cleaning machines. In addition, their 316 stainless steel and polyphenylene sulphide engineered plastic construction makes them fully compatible with all fuels and additives.
3. Sodium Hypochlorite For Wastewater Treatment
Tuthill Magnetically Coupled Gear Pumps are perfect when it comes to metering sodium hypochlorite for wastewater treatment, thanks to their incredible better-than-1% accuracy. Some of the benefits include utilising standard motors and controllers and speed regulated flow control, while vapour lock gasses don’t get trapped thanks to the flow-through design. Any discrepancies when it comes to pump shut down or accuracy are no longer an issue.
4. Asphalt
There are many asphalt applications for which Tuthill Pumps can be used, including feeding of production installation for mobile road repair equipment and roof shingles, loading and unloading rail and highway tankers, bulk transfer, and transferring between production tanks and main storage tanks. In most cases, asphalt will need to be pumped between 130 and 200 degrees in order to keep the viscosity down and allow it to be easily processed. To make sure the process is completed as efficiently as possible, Tuthill has included a wide assortment of options that ensure that their pumps are the perfect solution to any application.
