General Description

General Description

The RVP Series pump is a special type of rotary positive displacement pump, known as a
sliding vane pump.
The sliding vane pump has many of the positive displacement advantages of the gear pump,
plus the ability to compensate for wear, and operate at a lower noise level.
The sliding vane pump consists of a rotor turning inside a cam that is machined eccentrically in
relation to the rotor. As the rotor turns, the liquid that is trapped between the rotor, cam and
vanes is displaced. The RVP Series pumps are made with vanes produced from advanced
polymers which exhibit extremely low coefficients of friction. The self adjusting vanes
compensate for wear and help extend the life of the pump.
The pumping of volatile liquids is
one of the most difficult of all
pumping jobs, and pumping from
a delivery truck makes it even
more difficult, so more attention
must be given to the design and
manufacturing of the pump and
to its installation and operation.
In addition to being especially
suited for handling volatile
liquids, your RVP Series pump
has a number of other features
to help make it more easily
operated and maintained.
The rotor material is cast iron
and the vanes material is auto-
lubricating. Several mechanical
models of sealing systems are
available and selectable in
accordance with the pumped
liquid. It can operate with viscous
or light liquids and it needs less
power than other types of pumps. The pump guarantees higher flow rates than other pumps at
the same speed. The pump will operate satisfactorily in any position. Consult SAMPI for
vertical shaft mounts. The pump can be bolted to the truck frame, and MUST be adequately
supported. The pump may be driven by a power take-off through universal joints. When using
universal joints, a splined slip joint, properly lubricated, must be used on the connecting jack
shaft to prevent end thrust on the pump shaft. It is very important to install a proper drive line to
avoid excessive wear, vibration and noise. The pump may also be driven by other motors
(hydraulic, electric, internal combustion). These motors must be well supported with their
shafts parallel to the pump shaft in all respects.
The pump has an internal by-pass valve to drain the excess flow. With Teflon seals, it can be
used with a large number of industrial solvents.
