K-pump

The K-Pump is a complete pneumatic system comprising of two pressure vessels, a transfer and a dispensing vessel. Dispensing vessel is positioned over conveying pipeline and kept under constant pressure. Material falls into the transfer vessel via the dome valve. Once the specified level inside the transfer vessel is achieved probe-monitored second dome valve positioned on a transfer vessel opens. Compressed air pressurized the transfer vessel and pressure balance between transfer and dispensing vessel is achieved by means of a balancing system which allows excess air to be recirculated into the conveying pipeline.

A third dome valve is positioned at the base of the dispensing vessel, and this has a unique positioned device which either opens or closes in order to regulate the correct flow of the material based on the line pressure.

The whole system, which is controlled through a programmable unit, allows total flexibility, and a typical installation is approximately 2M high making it ideal for those with limited headroom. The special, advanced design provides a powerful yet compact unit, easily retrofitted into existing installations, especially those where screw pumps have been used and utilization can be made of the same pipeline and the same compressor.
