BLACKMER
LGL Series Sliding Vane Pumps
Description:
External Bearing Rotary Vane Pumps for Use in Propane and NH3 Applications
As part of the Cavitation Line of sliding vane pumps, these LGLD propane pumps are ideal for propane, LPG, butane and anhydrous ammonia applications including bulk plant service, multiple cylinder filling applications, vaporizers, bobtails and transports. All LGLD propane pump models have an internal relief valve, and a replaceable casing liner and end discs for easy rebuilding of the pumping chamber if ever necessary. In addition, these pumps feature cavitation suppression liners to reduce noise, vibration and wear.
Blackmer® LGLD2 propane pumps are often mounted to the chassis of a bobtail, or to a steel pad that is welded to the tank. The 3- and 4-in rotary vane pump models can be mounted to a transport in a number of different ways, generally near or between the tank landing gear brackets.
Blackmer fully Integrated Unit Assemblies are the pre-engineered and pre-designed drop-in pumping solution. These unit assemblies, include motor, gearbox, baseplate, coupling safety covers, and a LGL Sliding Vane Pump (2, 3 & 4-inch size). No alignment required with these pre-configured fully Integrated Unit Assemblies as they are ready for immediate drop-in installation.

- Pumps are listed by Underwriters Laboratory for both LPG and anhydrous ammonia (NH3) service
- Cavitation suppression liner design for reducing the noise, vibration, and wear normally caused by entrained vapors
- Replaceable casing, liners and end discs allow easy rebuilding of the pumping chamber to like-new condition
- Ductile-iron construction with internal relief valve
- Durable pumps for fast and quiet operation, providing sustained performance and trouble-free operation
- LGLD2 and LGLD3 models have double-ended drive shaft arrangement, popular for bobtail service
- Blackmer mechanical seal and ball bearing construction provide maximum reliability
- Symmetrical bearing support assures even loading and wear for long life
- Capable of being mounted to a truck or chassis of a bobtail, or to a steel pad welded to the tank.
- Internal relief valve protects pump against excessive pressures
- External ball bearings are isolated from pumpage by mechanical seals to maximize bearing life and minimize contamination risk.

Blackmer® E Series Magnetic Drive Gear Pump
Description:
Take your pump performance to the next level with Blackmer E Series Magnetic Drive Gear Pumps. Innovative, durable and environmentally friendly, E Series Magnetic Drive Gear Pumps have been engineered to be a cut above the competition thanks to a revolutionary design with a patented between-the-bearing support system. This one-of-a-kind design eliminates leaks and reduces mechanical wear, helping increase the safety of site personnel and the environment. Material of construction options of ductile iron, carbon steel and stainless steel allow for a wide range of chemical compatibility. In addition, no other magnetically coupled pump offers a lower upfront cost, lower total cost of ownership or more reliability than the E Series Magnetic Drive Gear Pump.
Features:
- Between-the-bearings support system – Eliminates the damaging effects of cantilevered loads that are present in competitor internal gear pumps, maximizing rotor, idler and bushing life.
- One Fluid Chamber design- Greatly improves fluid circulation through the magnetic coupling, resulting in lower operating temperatures, longer magnet life, and more effective cleaning and flushing processes.
- High Torque and Compact Magnetic coupling- High-strength magnetic couplings are standard to allow for more operational flexibility, with inner magnets mounted directly to the rotor for an extremely compact design.
- Simple design – The need for only seven primary components improves reliability and reduces system complexity while easing maintenance and repair.
- Competitor Pump Interchangeability – Interchangeable with up to 95% of the packed, mechanically sealed and seal-less magnetic drive gear pumps in use today, with no need for piping, driver, baseplate or coupling modifications.

Frame A/LD17 Centrifugal Pumps
Description:
The Frame A and LD17 Centrifugal Pumps are pioneering process pumps with the built-in technology to get the most from seal and bearing life. Designed around the seal where 90% of pump failures occur, these centrifugal pumps have a stiffer, heavy-duty shaft and larger bearings resulting in the widest operational window off the Best Efficiency Point (BEP) than any standard process pump. These pumps come in 11 different sizes, meaning they are applicable for a wide range of fit scenarios and application needs.
The Frame A/LD17 has the stiffest shaft in the industry, which dramatically reduces seal and shaft failures. The Frame A/LD17 reaches flow capacities of 1,400 gpm (320 m3/hr) and is available in IPP metric construction.
Features & Benefits:
- Larger bearings than competing pumps for greater load capacity and bearing life
- Bolted retainer cover locks thrust bearing into cartridge for enhanced reliability
- Angular contact thrust bearings
- Low maintenance, long life, maximum value process pump
- Most stable shaft in the industry
- Lowest L3/D4 stiffness ratio of any competitive size pump – 17 (.65) Frame LD17
- Dramatically reduces bearing, sealing device and shaft failures
- Frame A meets ASME/ANSI dimensional specifications
- LD17 configuration available for severe-duty applications
- Capacities to 1,400 gpm (320 m3/hr)
- Equipped to accept a C-Frame (NEMA)/D-Flange (IEC) motor adaptor, providing
alignment of motor and power end without special tools or excessive labor - Right or left side discharge is possible with optional special foot
- Heavy-duty construction and low stiffness ratios on shafts
- Prevents common vibration damage and improves seal life
- Short shaft overhand reduces bearing load to extend bearing life
- Oversized heavy duty bearings provide greater load capacity and extend bearing
life.
Applications:
- Chemicals
- Mining de-watering
- Water/wastewater
- Liquid terminals
