Item Overview for Blackmer HXL8G
The Blackmer HXL8G is a 8" double-ended, base-mounted sliding vane pump finished in ductile iron construction. It also brings pre-engineered Integrated Unit Assemblies for drop-in installation. As part of the HXL lineup, it shares parts and service procedures with the rest of the range. Capacity extends to 1,190 GPM, shortening load and unload cycles. Power reaches the pumping chamber through a single-ended keyed shaft turning right-hand, where laminate vanes ride out against the liner to sustain flow as they wear. Containment comes from mechanical seals backed by FKM elastomers, a combination chosen for punishing liquids. NPT connections speed connection during commissioning and later service. Overpressure protection arrives built in, with a bolt-on relief valve shielding the casing and downstream piping. Supplied as a bare unit, it drops into an existing drive arrangement or a purpose-built skid.
