Farval’s AC or DC Electric Barrel Pumps provide a contemporary and effective option for lubrication systems, replacing traditional air or hydraulic-operated pumps. These electric pumps are ideal for use in both mobile and stationary equipment because they are easy to install and can handle high-pressure situations. Below is an in-depth analysis of the characteristics, setup process, functionality, and benefits of these pumps:
Features
- Available in both AC and DC models.
- Â Eliminates the need for air or hydraulic lines, reducing potential leak points and simplifying installation.
- Pressure rated up to 300 bar (4350 psi), suitable for demanding lubrication applications
- Fits original refinery 120 and 400 lb drums (50 kg & 185 kg).
- Â Optional drum covers and follower plates are available.
- The EBPD model fits 90 & 60 lb containers.
Installation
- Since these pumps are electric, they simply need to be wired into the machine’s power supply.
- No need for extensive air or hydraulic line installations.
- Â Fewer components and connections reduce the risk of leaks and maintenance requirements
Operation
- The pump uses a piston that moves up and down inside a hardened steel bushing.
- During the downward stroke, grease is pushed past a check valve ball and exits through discharge holes in the pump system.
- The check valve prevents grease from being drawn back into the pump during the upward stroke, ensuring consistent grease delivery.
- As the piston moves up, a vacuum is created inside the bushing.
- When the piston uncovers suction holes in the bushing, grease is drawn into the pump through the suction ports on the bottom of the system.
- The piston continuously cycles up and down, ensuring a steady supply of grease to the lubrication points.
Advantages
- The elimination of air or hydraulic lines reduces potential points of failure and maintenance requirements
- The check valve mechanism ensures a consistent and reliable supply of grease, improving equipment performance and longevity.
- With a pressure rating of up to 300 bar, these pumps are suitable for heavy-duty lubrication tasks.
- Ability to fit various drum sizes makes these pumps versatile for different applications and industries.
Applications
- Suitable for vehicles and machinery that require reliable lubrication but do not have access to compressed air or hydraulic systems.
- Ideal for industrial settings where electric power is available and simplicity and reliability are key.
Optional Accessories
- These optional accessories help protect the lubricant from contamination and ensure efficient grease usage.
- By integrating these electric barrel pumps into your lubrication systems, you can achieve cleaner installations, reduce maintenance, and ensure reliable and consistent lubrication for your equipment. This modernization can lead to increased operational efficiency and reduced downtime in both mobile and stationary applications.
