Product Description
FTI HVDP Series High-Viscosity Pumps
The FTI HVDP Series consists of mechanically sealed, progressive-cavity drum and barrel pumps designed for thick and difficult-to-transfer liquids. Therefore, the range can move viscous products smoothly from drums, barrels and similar containers.
The range includes the HVDP-HR for viscosities up to 20,000 cP and the HVDP-LR for liquids up to 100,000 cP. Moreover, both models provide a maximum head of 91 metres and support liquids with a specific gravity up to 1.8.
FTI HVDP Progressive-Cavity Pump Design
These high-viscosity pumps use a progressive-cavity, positive-displacement operating principle. Consequently, the rotor and stator create sealed cavities that move the liquid steadily through the pump tube.
This design produces controlled flow with comparatively low pulsation. Therefore, it suits viscous and shear-sensitive products that may not flow effectively through a standard centrifugal drum pump.
Key Features of FTI HVDP Series Pumps
- HVDP-HR and HVDP-LR models
- Maximum viscosity up to 100,000 cP
- Maximum head up to 91 metres
- Maximum flow up to 32 lpm
- Maximum specific gravity of 1.8
- Heavy-duty 316 stainless-steel tube and shaft
- Buna, FKM and PTFE stator options
- Multiple mechanical-seal combinations
- Bellows Type 21 mechanical seal
- FDA-compliant material options
- Quick-release camlock connection
- Optional foot for lined drums
- Electric, explosion-proof and air-motor choices
- Hose-barb and tri-clamp discharge options
Together, these features make the FTI HVDP Series suitable for demanding food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and chemical-transfer applications.
HVDP-HR High-Viscosity Drum Pump
The HVDP-HR delivers up to 9 gpm or 32 lpm and handles viscosities up to 20,000 cP. In addition, it provides a maximum discharge head of 300 ft or 91 m.
The HR model operates with compatible electric motors. Fixed-speed, variable-speed and explosion-proof options are available, depending on the required voltage, certification and liquid viscosity.
Therefore, this Finish Thompson high-viscosity pump may suit applications requiring a higher transfer rate while handling thick oils, resins, adhesives and similar materials.
HVDP-LR Pump for Fluids up to 100,000 cP
The HVDP-LR provides up to 7 gpm or 27 lpm with suitable electric or pneumatic motor options. More importantly, selected configurations can transfer liquids with viscosities up to 100,000 cP.
Consequently, the LR model is intended for exceptionally thick products where controlled displacement and additional motor torque are more important than maximum flow.
Moreover, available drive options include single-phase, three-phase, explosion-proof and compressed-air motors.
Stainless-Steel FTI Drum Pump Construction
Both HVDP models use 316 stainless steel for the outer tube and shaft. Therefore, the pumps provide durable construction for compatible food products, cosmetics, oils and industrial chemicals.
Available stator materials include Buna, FKM and PTFE. Meanwhile, mechanical-seal combinations include carbon, ceramic, silicon carbide and several elastomer choices.
Consequently, users can configure the FTI HVDP Series according to chemical compatibility, operating temperature and food-contact requirements.
HVDP Pump Temperature and Tube Options
Published operating temperatures range from -29°C to 82°C. In addition, the pumps use a 51 mm tube diameter and are available in the following lengths:
- 69 cm
- 102 cm
- 122 cm
Discharge sizes include 38 mm and 51 mm hose-barb connections. Furthermore, tri-clamp discharge options are available for suitable FDA-compliant configurations.
High-Viscosity Pump Camlock Connection
A quick-release camlock connection allows technicians to separate the motor and pump tube efficiently. Therefore, cleaning, inspection and component replacement can require less time.
An optional inlet foot is also available for containers fitted with plastic liners. Consequently, the liner is less likely to obstruct the pump inlet while the drum is being emptied.
FTI HVDP Series Motor Options
The high-viscosity drum pump range supports several motor configurations, depending on the selected HR or LR model.
Available choices may include:
- Fixed-speed electric motors
- Variable-speed electric motors
- Explosion-proof motors
- Single-phase motors
- Three-phase motors
- Pneumatic air motors on suitable LR models
Therefore, users can select the drive according to viscosity, required flow, electrical supply and hazardous-area classification.
HVDP High-Viscosity Pump Applications
The FTI HVDP Series may suit:
- Oils and lubricants
- Resins and polymers
- Waxes and silicone
- Adhesives and sealants
- Lotions and cosmetic creams
- Hair and bath gels
- Honey and corn syrup
- Juice concentrates
- Pharmaceutical ingredients
- Chemical manufacturing
- Food-processing materials
- Drum and barrel emptying
For example, an FDA-compliant progressive-cavity pump may transfer honey or syrup. Similarly, an industrial configuration may handle resins, adhesives, silicone or viscous oils.
Food-Grade Progressive-Cavity Drum Pumps
Selected HVDP configurations use FDA-compliant wetted materials for suitable food, beverage, cosmetic and pharmaceutical processes.
Moreover, tri-clamp discharge connections can simplify integration with sanitary hoses and compatible process equipment.
However, users must confirm that every wetted component, seal, stator, hose and connection meets the required hygiene and regulatory standards.
Selecting an FTI High-Viscosity Pump
Correct selection depends on:
- Liquid viscosity
- Required flow and discharge head
- Product temperature
- Chemical compatibility
- Container depth
- Mechanical-seal materials
- Stator material
- Food-contact requirements
- Electric or pneumatic drive
- Hazardous-area classification
- Hose and discharge connection
Therefore, users should configure the FTI HVDP Series around the complete transfer duty. Otherwise, an unsuitable stator, seal or motor may reduce flow, reliability and component life.
