C+216MD Explosion Proof Portable Pump Assembly

The C+216MD Explosion-Proof Portable Pump Assembly is a sanitary transfer pump designed for moving flammable liquids safely. It combines a C+216 pump head, an explosion-proof motor, and an explosion-proof motor starter on a stainless steel cart, so the whole assembly moves easily between tanks. The explosion-proof motor makes the pump suitable for high-proof alcohol, ethanol, and other flammable liquids, and ideal for distilling, producing alcohol-blended drinks, and herbal extraction. Beyond those uses, the C+216 pump head is also a good match for medium-sized process applications in the food and beverage industries. 

The pump is paired with a cast iron, NEMA C-Face Premium Efficiency explosion-proof motor, UL/CSA approved for Class I, Groups C and D, and Class II, Groups E, F, and G (T3B). The motor is controlled by a Killark explosion-proof motor starter: the XSD Series manual motor starter for 1.5 and 2 HP, and the B7MS Series motor starter for 3, 5, and 7.5 HP. The cart is sized to the pump: a knockdown cart for 1.5 and 2 HP, a medium duty cart for 3 HP, and a heavy duty cart for 5 and 7.5 HP. 

All pumps come standard with 2" x 1.5" Tri-Clamp connections, and other connection types are available by special order. Explosion-proof pump assemblies are supplied without an electrical plug. The appropriate plug must be installed in accordance with applicable electrical codes and local regulations.
