Pitot Tube Pumps

Published Categorized as Journal

The creation of the pitot tube pump design has revolutionized how high pressure liquid is generated in a centrifugal pump. The GTO GATOR® and GTO RHINO® use the pitot tube technology to incorporate the features that customers expect from a professional pumping system. A high pressure pump is a requirement in demanding applications to improve efficiency and output. GTO pitot tube pumps generate high pressure in a single stage to achieve peak operating performance.

Both the GTO GATOR® and GTO RHINO® pitot tube pumps are built with strict standards of quality to increase operational reliability. The stable manufacturing and error-free operation of pitot tube pumps reduce malfunctions and damage that can result in costly repairs. The implementation of the GTO pitot tube pump system is widely popular and in use around the world in scenarios that demand high pressure pumping systems.

Applications of Pitot Tube Pumps:

These high-quality, high pressure pitot tube pumps are most commonly used in the following applications:

  • Automotive
  • Paper Mills
  • Sugar Refining
  • Plastic and Rubber Processing
  • Food Processing
  • Chemical and Petrochemical

Features

FEATURES OF THOMAS PITOT TUBE PUMPS

  • Large Sight Glass ​Bull’s-eye sight glass 1-1/4″ simplifies oil level and oil condition monitoring that is critical to bearing life.
  • Powder Coated Oil Sump Lining ​Fusion Bonded Polyester process- TGIC designed to remove impurities in the castings and applied to the interior surface of the power frame oil sump that provides an impenetrable barrier between the iron frame and the oil, enhancing the long-term quality and cleanliness of the lubricating oil.
  • Magnetic Drain Plug A safety feature designed to magnetically collect damaging metallic contaminants away from the bearings.
  • Heavy-Duty Shaft Bearings X-Life Precision Bearings have extremely high reliability and extend bearing life with added benefits of smooth running, noise reduction, and reduced energy consumption.
  • Monitoring Locations Power frame has bearing monitor feature to allow RTD insertion for bearing temperature monitoring and optional areas can be added for
  • Powder Coated Power Frame Fusion Bonded Polyester process- TGIC designed to remove impurities in the castings and applied to the entire surface of the power frame.  This process allows casing to be chemical resistant and the coating will not blister, soften, lose bond or discolor.  Our Powder Coating Process resists salt spray.
  • Inpro® Labyrinth Oil Seals High quality oil seals keep outside environmental contaminants from entering the lubrication media, greatly extending bearing life (Standard feature GTO Gator only)
