Item Overview for Blackmer HXLJ8G
The Blackmer HXLJ8G 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 keyed single-ended shaft, where bronze 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.
