  • Outboard bearings prevent product contamination
  • 3/4” clearance between closed-end rotor and casing end plate minimizes packing of product
  • Precision machining with normal, radial clearance from rotor-to-tip of 0.002" to 0.004" minimizes leakage

  • Provides maximum rotor strength, minimizes packing damage, and permits end-bell air purging
  • Tips are manufactured in brass, stainless steel, abrasion-resistant steel, stellite inlaid, and Ni-hard
  • Tips are also available in more pliable materials such as neoprene, Teflon® and polyurethane
  • Shroud (end plate) periphery, vane edges and adjustable tips may be hard-surfaced to minimize the effects of abrasive materials on the rotor
