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+216MD Explosion-Proof Portable Pump Assembly is a sanitary transfer pump designed for moving flammable liquids safely. It combines a CB+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. The CB+216 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 B7MS Series explosion-proof motor starter. The cart is sized to the pump: a medium duty cart for 3 HP, a heavy-duty cart for 5, 7.5, and 10 HP, and a super heavy duty cart for 15 HP.
All pumps come standard with 2" 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+216MD Explosion-Proof Portable Pump Assembly combines the CB+216 pump head with an explosion-proof motor, motor starter, and cart, allowing you to:
