HAYWARD GORDON
Molten Sulfur(Jacketed)

Hayward Gordon Molten Sulfur pumps are specifically designed for molten sulfur and other fluids requiring pumping at controlled temperatures.


Typical Applications:

For clean or slightly contaminated molten sulfur, the jacketed VAJ vertical line shaft and AJ horizontal designs make use of the excellent lubricity of sulfur to provide effective lubrication to the specially designed lineshaft bearings and mechanical seals. These models feature high efficiency centrifugal process pump wet ends.

For services with more severe solids contamination, such as sulfur reclaim, Hayward Gordon can provide model VCAJ jacketed vertical cantilever pumps that eliminate submerged bearings or seals from exposure to the wearing action of the contaminate solids.

For handling molten sulfur with large solids or rocks, the open passage of our non-clogging recessed impeller wet end make an excellent choice on either the horizontal or vertical pumps.

All Hayward Gordon molten sulfur pumps allow the required control of sulfur temperature by the passage of steam or water/glycol solution through a specially designed system of volute, seal housing, discharge and column jackets. vertical pump column jackets are constructed with welded and flanged double walled pipe. Column cross-over pipes are designed to minimize thermal stresses.

In compliance with some local regulations, pump jackets can be welded to ASME Section IX and, if necessary, registered to the ASME Section VIII pressure vessel code.

Features:

  • ANSI process pump wet-ends with open impellers featuring back pump-out vanes are standard.
  • Recessed impeller design available for large solids handling and/or high abrasion resistance
  • Internally piped molten sulfur circulation system provides positive lubrication to each line shaft bearing even with a low sump level
  • Column, discharge pipe, and optional casing jackets are provided to maintain close temperature control with low pressure steam or glycol
  • Integral bearing housing and motor support ensure accurate alignment
  • Convenient external impeller clearance adjustment can be achieved using shims and built-in jacking screws
  • Pump support columns feature double walled construction and precision spigot mating of the welded column flanges in order to assure rigid and accurate alignment of bearings
  • Available in vertical and horizontal settings
