BTM - WITH MACERATING SYSTEM

BIG ON MAKING THINGS SMALL

Externally extended compression casing fitted with internal cutting elements: the BTM hopper pump from SEEPEX can be used to prepare e.g. fruit and vegetables for smooth onward transportation. The integrated cutting unit and additional blades in the screw conveyor shred a wide range of solids, thus making them flowable.

Features and Benefits

Effective

Particularly fine maceration of large pieces by two integrated blade systems – making even the coarsest chunks flowable

Oxidation-free

No oxidation when installed in a closed system – the food therefore retains its quality and odors are minimized

Optimum product conveyance

Conveyance of the optimal flow rate to the downstream rotating unit by compressing the medium in the compression zone

Adaptable

Length of rectangular intake hopper adjustable to upstream components

Variable

Available in block design with directly flanged-on drive system, or as a variant with free bare shaft and plug connection

Technologies, accessories and options

  • Technology

  • Options
null

  • Pressure Branch

    With gauge connection. Flange connections alternatively to DIN or ANSI.

  • Rotor

    Wear resistant and corrosion-proof materials.

  • Conventional geometry

    With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.
    null

  • 6L geometry

    With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
    null

  • Stator

    The seal on both ends is moulded as an integral part of the elastomeric stator. Corrosion of the stator tube is never a problem because the pumped liquid never comes into contact with the metal tube or the bonding adhesive.

  • Conventional geometry

    With short pitches and a compact design, the conventional geometry produces high pressures.

  • 6L geometry

    With a small rotor diameter and a long pitch, the 6L geometry attains lower surface velocities and extends the service life due to its large sealing line.
    null

  • Compression zone

    Flanges at both ends for quick disassembly when replacing the rotor, hand hole on request.

  • Screw conveyor

    Coupling rod with screw conveyor with progressive pitch for power transmission and conveying of viscous products.

  • Feed hopper

    A square designed hopper with inspection ports on both sides for quick and easy maintenance.

  • Joint connection

    Consisting of just 5 components. Power transmission through wear resistant, hardened and replaceable joint parts: easily repaired.

  • Universal joint sleeve with holding bands

    Protects the grease-filled joints from penetration of the liquid pumped, even in case of maximum vacuum or pressure loading. Streamlined design to reduce turbulence and NPSHr.

  • Shaft sealing

    Gland packing with or without flushing/seal cage ring or single or double mechanical seals.

  • Plug-in shaft

    Connects the drive shaft to the joint. With gland packing the plug-in shaft is used as a shaft protection sleeve. Upon request, it is available with wear resistant coating.

  • Drive

    Geared motors, variable speed drives or frequency controlled motors of all major manufacturers, directly flanged to the pump without additional couplings or guards. Covers made of stainless steel are available.

  • Overpressure Protection

    The pressure gauge switches off the pump as soon as a pre-set pressure is exceeded or not reached and protects the pump from increased wear and tear or piping damage.
    null

  • Dry-running protection device (TSE)

    TSE monitors the temperature of the rotating stator and shuts down the pump when the limit value is reached to protect the pump from dry running.
    null

  • Retensioning device

    With this device, a worn stator can be evenly readjusted at several points so that the clamping between the rotor and stator is once again optimal and the pump performance increases.
    null

  • Universal joint sleeve protection

    Stainless steel protective housing protects the universal joint sleeve from mechanical destruction by rough parts made of plastic, metal, wood, etc. Up to 10,000 operating hours guaranteed.

  • Standard base plate

    Short base plate B with geared motor for all standard applications.

  • Standard Gland Packing

    Universal seal for hopper and standard pumps for sealing the plug-in shaft and suction casing or feed hopper. Also available with grease or lantern ring to shut off the media flow. Can also be supplied with upstream labyrinth seal and additional flush connection or lubricating device.
    null

  • Cartridge mechanical seal

    Ready-to-install pre-assembled units with supply connections and attachment brackets for quick replacement.
    null

  • Single-acting mechanical seal

    Universal standard mechanical seal for dosing, food applications and semi-submersible pumps for sealing the plug-in shaft in the suction casing or the hopper.
