In researching failure of liquid ring vacuum pumps, operating on Vacuum Pan & Evaporator duties, Kirton Mechanical Equipment have established that at certain times the pumps operate at a very unfavourable duty point, often well within the cavitation zone.
This is partly due to saturated vapour, at approx 55°C being carried over from the condenser & condensing out within the liquid ring, which is anywhere between 25°C (Winter) & 34°C (Summer) .
Our “Mescual” pumps are of local manufacture and are extremely robust. We recommend that all due consideration be given to the utilisation of the “Mascual” pump on all magma and massecuite duties as the pump, whilst a bit more expensive than opposition pumps, has a short payback period in terms of maintenance expense. Wear strips can be manufactured and replaced in the Mill Workshops as opposed to buying expensive spares for other makes of pumps.
