Product catalog summary
Overview
The LK Series metering pump, produced by Walchem Corporation, is a high-performance, motor-driven, mechanically actuated diaphragm pump. It offers a maximum capacity of 114 GPH (432 l/h) and a maximum pressure of 225 PSI (1.5 MPa). The pump is designed with a dual-cam system drive and worm gear reducer, ensuring durability and wear resistance. It is suitable for various chemical feed applications, including water treatment, chemical processing, agriculture, mining, and paper industries.
Key Benefits
  • Liquid Ends: The pump's design allows direct transfer of drive to the diaphragm, offering versatility. Available materials include PVC, PVDF, and 316 SS, suitable for handling acids, bases, solvents, polymers, and slurries.
  • Stroke Adjustment: Features a micrometer dial for accurate stroke setting, adjustable from 10 to 100%.
  • Drive: Utilizes a dual-cam system with a worm gear speed reducer, providing efficient power transmission and maximum wear resistance.
  • Motors: Standard models have vertically mounted, totally enclosed fan-cooled motors. Options include explosion-proof and DC variable speed motors for external control.
Specifications
  • Pump Series: LKN Series with NEMA 42C motor mounting flange.
  • Capacity/Pressure Rating: Varies by model, with a maximum pressure of 225 PSI.
  • Motor Code Options: Various voltage and phase options, including explosion-proof and variable speed motors.
  • Liquid End Materials: Options include PVC, PVDF, and 316 SS, with specific applications for acids, alkalines, and solvents.
Recommendations

LK Series | Motor-driven metering pumps-1

An Iwaki America Company LK Series | Motor-driven metering pumps Overview The LK Series metering pump is the largest in the high performance line of pumps from Walchem Corporation. The LK is a motor-driven, mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pump with a maximum capacity of 114 GPH (432 l/h) and a maximum pressure of 225 PSI (1.5 MPa). The heart of the LK is a compact and very reliable dual-cam system drive and worm gear reducer. Roller bearings and oil bath lubrication ensure outstanding durability and wear resistance in continuous operation. The LK Series is ideal for chemical feed applications in a wide range of fields, including water treatment, chemical process, agriculture, mining and paper. Summary of Key Benefits Liquid Ends Drive from the gear reduction unit is directly transferred to the diaphragm. This design is economical, yet retains a high degree of versatility. Liquid ends are available in PVC, PVDF and 316 SS for handling acids, bases, solvents, polymers and slurries. Stroke Adjustment Accurate and reliable stroke setting is accomplished with a micrometer dial of the springback stroke adjustment mechanism. This lockable mechanism is adjustable from 10 to 100%. Drive The LK utilizes a dual-cam system drive with a built-in worm gear type speed reducer. The aluminum bronze worm gear and the tapered roller bearing provide efficient transmission of motor power to the pump. This compact and rigid mechanism provides maximum wear resistance in continuous operation over long periods of time. Motors All of the standard models employ totally enclosed fan-cooled motors which are vertically mounted to save space. A variety of motor options are available, including explosion-proof and DC variable speed motors for external control by a 4-20 mA input signal.
