Applications

1. PUMP SHAFT No. 303 stainless steel 2. POWER FRAMES Power frames are supplied with grease lubricated ball bearings. Wide bearing spacing provides solid shaft support. Tapped and plugged openings are conveniently located for easy relubrication of power frame. Grease relief holes prevent overlubrication. 3. IMPELLER The bronze impeller, with monel metal blades secured in slots in the liquid channel by means of a brazing process, is the only moving part. Annular grooves or sealing rings are machined in the face of the impeller. These grooves are perfectly matched with corresponding grooves in the raceway and intermesh without metal to metal contact to form a labyrinth seal. 4. RACEWAY The bronze raceway is the mating part to the impeller. Sealing grooves are machined into the face of the raceway to match the impeller sealing grooves reducing water slippage to a minimum, resulting in better efficiencies, while reducing the possibility of vapor bind. 5. LIFELOK EXTERNAL ADJUSTMENT The adjusting screw is located in the power frame on Independent Pumps. A positive preload spring pressure is applied to the pump shaft bearing and in turn, is transmitted to the adjusting screw. This controlled pressure eliminates bearing endplay and provides a means for external adjustment of the clearance between the impeller and raceway. The distinct advantage of this exclusive BURKS feature is the positive means provided to establish the initial clearance between the impeller and raceway, plus providing a means for external readjustment to compensate for any possible wear between these parts. The customer benefi t of this exclusive feature is the fact that readjustment can be made without disassembling the pump or disturbing the piping. 6. MECHANICAL SHAFT SEAL The leakproof mechanical shaft seal for temperatures to 225 F 107 C, is selfadjusting. A wide variety of mechanical seals are available for handling liquids other than water. 7. CASING Casing is close grain iron of 30,000 p.s.i. minimum tensile strength. Should the pump require service theres no need to disturb the piping the casing stays in the line. 8. SELF PRIMING Once casing is fi lled with water will handle water, air or a mixture of both to high pressure. 9. FACTORY TESTED Every pump factory tested for capacity, head and power consumption. Applications BURKS Turbine Pumps are designed for pumping any clean, noncorrosive, nonabrasive lower viscosity liquid on low fl ow, high head applications. They are used in a wide range of industries. • BOILER FEED • CONDENSATED RETURN • HEAT TRANSFER • HOT AND COLD WATER CIRCULATION • JOCKEY PUMP • HYDRAULIC OIL CIRCULATION • HIGH PRESSURE SPRAY • BRINE CIRCULATION • PRESSURE BOOSTER • ADDITIVE METERING
