Triplex Plunger Pump
Unique Features And Accessories Of Pumps Containing Triplex Plungers
A plunger pump is used for displacing materials for positive purposes, by creating a fixed high pressure on one end while the movable plunger slides up and down the cylinder. Its mechanism is different from that of a piston pump, as here a plunger is used instead of a piston. While piston pumps are used for removing mud from holes; plunger pump is mainly needed for removal of waste materials. Modern technology allows the use of three plungers in a pump, which are fitted at an angle of 120 degrees to work simultaneously.
Special qualities that encourage for using triplex plunger pump
- The operation of this pump is totally driven by a powerful electric motor that is enclosed in this system. A heavy-duty gearbox is also associated for a more accurate function of this triplex plunger pump.
- There are distinct valves for suction and discharge of fluid materials in this plunger pump, through which fluids enter and leave the pump body. These brass valves can be cleaned and oiled automatically after uses, minimizing the maintenance efforts.
- The backward movement of the plunger helps in sucking in all the fluids through the suction valve. Likewise, the forward movement of the plunger helps in discharging the fluids out of the pump body, through the discharge valve.
- The fluid velocity through the nozzle of this equipment depends on the fluid pressure, definite volume, and viscosity of the fluid removed by this pump. The fluid pressure can be controlled by an adjustable regulator, fitted on the equipment.
- This entire pump unit is mounted on a trolley or trailer that can be easily moved from one place to another. This pump trolley has four wheels of suitable size, to make this heavy machinery more mobile in nature.
Essential accessories associated to triplex pump unit
The entire pump body or the case is made of aluminum or corrosion-proof steel, to make it highly durable. A pulley made of aluminum is also attached to this triplex pump unit; whereas the pump stand is made of steel. The pressure gauge and pressure valve are made of high-quality stainless steel, for efficiency in functions. The pump plungers are made of good quality ceramic, to make controlled flow pulsations.
The pump sets with three plungers are more efficient in the removal of waste fluids from dumping grounds, for which this type of pump is gaining more popularity now.
