THE BUFFALO CR-FV VORTEX PUMP BULLETIN 902-8THE BUFFALO CR-FV VORTEX PUMP * Original design cating remains vt- tually unchanged in service + Oresceunmingoerances reduce wear, increase versatility + Existing Butfalo CRE/CRO standard dimension pumps can be readily converted (0 CR-FV Vortex Pump + The Butfalo CR-FV is designed for ‘maximum parts incerchangeabilty, and minimum maintenance cost Operation/Application “The Buffalo CR-FY Vortex-Inducing Recessed Fixed Vane Impeller imparts a swirling action tothe fluid in the ‘casing. This vortex action enables the Hluid 10 pass smoothly from the suc- tion to the discharge, keeping abra~ sive particles away irom the impeller. This minimizes impeller wear, thereby drastically reducing the sensitivity of performance with respect to wear. ee Also, since greater running clear- ances are used, larger size solids can bbe handled without the worry of clogging whichis common with open impeller centrifugal pumps employ- ing close running clearances. The size lof solids which may be pumped is outlined on page 6. The CRFVisideally sited oe: tively handle abrasive slurces, chemical sn petroleum ids gids eth tals ond solic, cellolose and sytbett fibers solution, Since there are no extreme or violet changes in dee tion ofthe pumped ud rage material may be pumped wath eini- mom degradation Parts Interchangeability/Retro! Major parts interchangeability within tive CR-FV Vortex Pump line greatly ‘implilies spare paris requirements. For example: one bearing frame, bearing size, shaft and gland fit all fourteen pump sizes. The ANSI standard dimension pump end used allows interchangeability with Buffalo CRE/CRO Pumps. Field conversion af CRE/CRO Pumps to CR-FV Pumps can be readily accom: plished by the addition of a spacer, Vortex impeller, and a spacer cou- pling. The motor can be relocated fan the same baseplate. General Specifications NUMBER OF PUMP SIZES: 14 BEARING FRAME: M3.
