Yet another pumps thread

[Julian]

I've got three, one in use and two waiting use, pending a processor rebuild and I've still got the search going.  If one comes along at the right price, I'd always buy it, there such good pumps.

If you ever spot a viton stator, would you let me know?

I had to replace the rotor and the stator on mine when i first got it, and found the parts very cheap, however, the retailer did not have viton.  I was not bothered, as I did not think id ever use it for pumping bio, however, now i see that it would be useful to be able to pump glyc with it.

I fitted a Viton stator for my little MS.  Came direct from Mono in Manchester and I think it was about 50 quid.

I know it sounds a shade me, me, me ... (that's because it is), but if I ever spot a Viton stator, I'll have it for myself!

Same here on collecting spares.  Given we all know each other shares the same searches, it would be sensible to try to avoid bidding against each other

No idea what this is but it looks interesting:

Edit: Looks like a gear pump, 16cc/revolution @ 1365 rpm makes just over 20lpm.  So not slow enough for drywash and not fast enough for transfer.  Would be great for veg filtering though as it should self prime - though you'd need a bypass valve.

Or for a centrifuge!

Well I got my pump this morning, one of those £35 italian one off Ebay that was put up on the VOD. Brand spanking new, only thing is it looks like its been dropped on its end, and the fan cowl is buckled and has come unclipped. Not very concerned though, just needs a tap with a hammer. The fan itself isn't damaged.

And good to anyone?  Brand new 70lpm Calpeda finishing in half-hour

Pressure switch could be sold on to offset the cost.  Not a bad little pump, very tempted myself to replace my Pedrollo but must resist the urge as I have another plan for that cash

Someone got a bargain for £53 delivered

Just seen your link there Tony...shame really as I may of  had a punt on that. I always feel I should have a spare pump as a just incase sort of thing. If you ever see an 80lt pump..preferably with 1 1/4 input then give us a shout please.

Knowing Tony the shout will go something like this.

Nige, I've just found an 80L multi stage with 1 1/4 inlet, £30 BIN inc dellevery, it's going to work great on my new reactor.
