Choosing the Right Type of Seal for Your Application
In this webinar, Don Byres breaks down the different types of mechanical seals CPE Systems Inc. offers, and more importantly, which seal works best for which application.
The CB+114M Explosion-Proof Portable Pump Assembly is a sanitary transfer pump designed for moving flammable liquids safely. It combines a CB+114 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. The CB+114 pump head, a redesigned C-Series pump with an internal mechanical seal, is also well suited to Clean-in-Place (CIP) and product transfer 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 HP. The cart is sized to the pump: a knockdown cart for 1.5 and 2 HP, and a medium duty cart for 3 HP.
All pumps come standard with 1.5" x 1.5" Tri-Clamp connections. 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.
The CB+114M Explosion-Proof Portable Pump Assembly combines the CB+114 pump head, a C-Series design with an internal cartridge seal, with an explosion-proof motor, motor starter, and cart, allowing you to:
The explosion-proof CB+114 is available in three-phase power. Single-phase motors are available as a special order. Contact us for a quote.
