http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Grunfords-4-stage-centrifugal-pumps-we-are-having-a-clearout-grab-a-bargin-/150804288370
£30 seems a good price considering what they do go for. By all accounts they are somewhere in the 50-66lpm range when unloaded. Should be well suited for processor pumping.
-
I think they're 3ph.
And stop posting pumps ... I've already got too many!

What rubbish,you can never have too many pumps,anybody would think you've got an extension to build!
-
Don't you start, I get enough flack from Mrs. Bio Rich and friends in the village.
Even the building inspector, who came to sign off the log burner yesterday, asked when I might have it finished ... blissfully I'm working to building regs of 13 years ago!
-
I think they're 3ph.
Ah - yes - you're right. Well spotted.
What about this one then? Looks interesting:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221010563689
-
I've probably spent more on pumps than the rest of my plant put together, and I only use three of them!
-
N+N redundancy!
-
In my case it's heading towards N + ∞
-
What about this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/320901034677?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_500wt_1202
-
No idea on that, and can't find a datasheet for it. It looks a little like a jet pump but the CH range are multistage centrifugal?
How about this fellow for the new plant?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Water-Pump-/261018418894
36 litres per second, does draw 18kW though.

Actually, found data for it:
http://www.heatweb.com/products/pumps/CHi.pdf
He's listed it wrong, it's a CHI 2-60.
6 stages, all stainless, topping out at just under 60lpm. Bet it would push a fair pressure!
-
Did you see this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GMP-cast-iron-water-pump-semi-trash-/150807897081
270lpm, not bad from a 1hp motor.

Hmm i feel a bid coming on

If it doesn't go up much i will have a punt on that one
-
I'm tempted by the Grunfos multistager you posted up on VOD :)
-
Collection only put me off that one,members relay?
-
Asking the seller if they will pack for courier collection arranged by you often works.
I use https://www.interparcel.com Usually cheap and they send pdf shipping labels you can forward to the seller.
-
Already asked, he's OK with posting so I've offerd £28 for it :)
-
Any opinions on this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/grundfos-water-pump-230v-/150825038274?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item231ddf71c2#ht_500wt_1202
-
That looks like a CH2-50 - a very decent multistager that would drive a venturi/eductor very well. Other Julian (julianf) on VOD might be interested. Are you thinking of getting it Keith or can I point him at this thread?
-
Point away
-
Pointed. Nice find Keith.
If Julian doesn't want it I'll be very tempted myself at that price.
-
Any thoughts on this pump ?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261071547290?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649
-
120lpm, stainless impeller - certainly ticks all the boxes - but do you have access to a three phase supply to run it?
-
Tony, no I dont have 3 phase :'(
I need another pump as my Tams foobared
Been thinking about this 50lt jobbie http://www.vegetableoildiesel.co.uk/forum/viewthread.php?tid=32023
or this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Stuart-Turner-RG550-water-pump-Brook-Crompton-motor-drive-/280921662205?pt=UK_Home_Garden_Bathroom_Shower_Units_PP&hash=item41683c62fd
Stainless impellers sound good ... not on the above pump tho..
-
Yes his pumps are eminently suitable. :)
Or - maybe worth a punt asking if arranging a courier for collection would be OK for this one?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heavy-Duty-water-pump-expansion-vessel-V-Quiet-20-80-LPM-Ebara-No-Reserve-/221077675799 (don't know much about these though).
Same for this if you want a smaller pump:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Calpeda-Water-Pump-/170882002513
-
According to http://ebara-pumps-online.com/CDX.pdf it's all stainless
He must mean Model CDXM70/07 which is single phase, 80lpm with 0.7HP motor.
The only concern would be part 73 "casing ring" which is NBR and might expand during use. Same for 26, the ring that seals the pump body - OK during running but if dismantled for cleaning would probably require replacement. (I bought a bunch of Viton o-rings for my pumps).
-
Hi Tony , been looking on Ebay at S,Turner pumps confused as Im not up on pumps. lots of shower boosters on there .
I would love a pump with a stainless impeller any thoughts please.. ?
Cheers ;)
Re the Ebra pump just asked seller to confirm the model no ..
-
Well there are lots of options :)
Bear in mind anything that's 80lpm+ is likely to be closed impeller so will need cleaning from time to time (unlike the TAM, it won't just munch any bits of chips - they'll jam in it instead).
Depends how patient you are and what turns up on eBay really.
And the rest of the pumpophiles always have an eye out for a bargain for themselves (lots of lovingly crafted automatic eBay searches I suspect!)
I've renamed the thread so it makes a bit more sense...
-
Tony,
Got this back from the seller:
Hi
its a
LOWARA CEAM70/5/AV
COD: 107330010XAA
MOTOR: SM71BG/1055
50HZ 220/240V
ANY GOOD ? :-\
-
Sounds good to me. That said I don't know anyone that uses one and the NBR casing ring is a concern in case it expands and binds.
Though for £50 if you decide you don't want it I might pick it up so let me know :)
-
Go for it tony .
-
How about this one Stumpy?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/electric-motor-pump-/230828813308
£12 and postage at buyers cost

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221081529201&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123
Could be useful as spares or replace/repair the motor.

-
Be careful as to what the impeller stage ring/wear ring material is. Many of them are suitable for water and may expand with bio.
-
Bump for the TAM105 ending in 4 hours.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150864039197

I see it went for £41 plus £10 delivery. I sold an unused one recently for £60...well pleased with that I was and he picked it up.

Pump may not be a lot of use as it's 110v, but if the bidding doesn't go to high, this may be worth a punt for the enclosure alone!

The flojet pump enclosed is a 4.5lpm diaphragm pump running at 24v. So I guess there is a 110V to 24V PSU in there too - if you're lucky it might be switchable for 230V but wouldn't count on it. So if you wanted to use the pump for circulating wash water or something, you might have to pick up a 24v PSU for it. Nice pump though, can self prime and run dry :)

Mono pump ...

Mono pump guy got back to me about the courier so I'll be bidding on this one for spares for my current pump (can't live without my mono!)
-
Didn't win the mono...
Anyway - anyone know anything about these compact petrol pumps?

This thread has some useful links about the pump
http://www.houseofhomelite.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tech&action=display&thread=2052
Sounds like a right screamer of a pump that runs permanently flat out!
-
Just won this - might be good for drywash or general low-energy circulation (I'm still convinced that agitation helps soap settling).
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=221097029477
-
Nice one,body looks similar to a Stuart Turner
-
This is the two stage version of the Calpeda pumps I use:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290759391155
All stainless. Hopefully with non-EPDM wear rings but no guarantee. Seller says the company area code on the label is five digit so not as old as the one I had with EPDM rings (which aren't mentioned any datasheet I've seen so maybe just an old model?)
I would've bid for it myself for spares for mine if it was a three stager.
-
Psssst Keith... want spares for your pump?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300773588565
IIRC that's very similar to the one you got (but 110V).
-
Maybe Keith doesn't want it? With a 110V transformer it'd make a cracking self priming mix pump - would be tempted myself but I've seen the bore of pipework needed for them and don't fancy that!
-
I would love to build another reactor with extra large bore and massive flow rates, that looks like it would be an ideal candidate at 149 Lpm.
-
It's "liquid ring" so self-priming in that respect though I'm sure Keith can fill us in on how well that works with veg oil. He's got a 240V one and I've seen it in action on his old rig - it was impressive!
-
Any ideas on these gents?

It looks slightly different from mine,my switch is on the back and its 240 lpm,i think mine is a AL model,it copes with veg and bio fine,feel free to buy it,should be a good pump

Hmm you may have a point :),it didn't sell for the second time!,any suggestions on extra ebay blurb?

id prolly start it at 99 and sell it big styley in the writeup say its 400 odd quids worth of top grade pump, plenty bang for buck, and if yuou want the best then look no further, i use one of these all the time and it pumps like billio etc etc etc sell sell sell. make the user have it the ol sales pitch.
a low price encourages greed and people outbid each other with the want to win what ever the cost...

-
I think a lot of us must have that same eBay search, I came here to post it to see you'd beaten me to it!
-
i dont even know why - i have a mono pump. i dont need another, but still i have it in my searches : /
-
Spares
And you never know when another might come in handy.
-
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:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221136533923
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! ;D ;D ;D
-
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
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160894389527
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 8)

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.

WTF is a liquid ring tellerini?
Nige
-
Liquid ring is a cunning self-priming pump mechanism using an offset centrifugal impeller, where liquid flung against the outside of the casing forms the seal... well - it's difficult to put in words - there are some diagrams here that do a great job (this is for a vacuum pump but the same principle applies to liquids):
http://dekkerknowledge.com/questions.php?questionid=2
Tellerini is the Italian manufacturer of such devices. Don't see them too often and I've long wanted one after getting pump envy seeing Keith's in action (though my new one is a little smaller than Keith's beast).
-
Sweet, just picked up a mini version of Keith's liquid ring tellerini for just over a fiver :) Keith how does yours manage bcbs? I'm thinking to use it as a transfer pump for wvo.
Not had a problem with bcb,s but the other half still needlessly filters the oil so it might not have been fully tested on that,have you got reverse? great for plugs of solid glyc :D
-
Reversible? Oh, I'm in love!
-
Reversible? Oh, I'm in love!
I find reverse very useful since starting glyc washes,i ve got enough liquid in the 2" pipework above the pump to blast a solid glyc plug out,i wonder how fast/high it gets?,ought to leave the top off and see if i can shoot it out the processor ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm with your "other half", bioly speaking. I've always filtered and settled my oil before production. I have a strong belief that even microscopic food particals can harbour water.

Just goes to show, gotta keep your eyes open. i suppose if someone really wanted it, they could contact the seller and do a deal. Maybe he sold it privately before the end of the auction.

Nice little Mono, shame it's 3ph. On these, if I remember correctly, the motor shaft is a special where the coupling screws straight on, so a motor change may be difficult.
Might do as spares if the price is right.

I always thought 240v was single phase and 415v was 3 phase, I'm sure if that is not the case someone will explain for me.
-
I only glanced at the spec and saw the 3ph bit.
Does seems a bit of an anomaly.
Might be best to get the seller to clarify if you are interested.

I always thought 240v was single phase and 415v was 3 phase, I'm sure if that is not the case someone will explain for me.
You can connect three phase motors in star or delta configurations, star is usually 415V but delta 240V. But both are three phase, it's just that the windings are configurable for both.

Ah I see... so does that mean if you have a 3 phase supply laid on you would have to specify the required voltage ?
-
Maybe I've confused the situation.
My understanding (which may be wrong!) is that in the UK you're right that single phase is 240V and three phase 415V.
But other countries have 230/240V three phase (namely the US, Canada).
So most three phase motors are configurable for international use (configure the windings depending on your local three phase supply).
The point is that just because the motor says 240V on it, it may not be single phase, as most three phase motors are capable of being connected both 415V (star) and 240V (delta) three phase. They are usually marked with a Y for star configuration or a triangle for delta.
To doubly add to the confusion some big motors are started in one configuration then switched to the other.

So does that mean this pump is not UK compatible... sorry to sound so stupid but I haven't a clue with this type of lectrix
-
Back to the mono - could be either he's misread it and it's single phase or it's three phase and the label says both 240V and 415V but he not mentioned the latter.
-
Ummm, it's not 240/115 is it. Thats possible, something to do with wiring the coils in series or parallel. I posted a thread on the VOD about something called a series/parallel motor. Only very old ones had it apparently.

There's an ex-navy place in Crediton that has had a couple of monos knocking about for ages.
They are the same odd power configuration. When i first spotted them, i asked one of the chaps there about them, and they said that they were some non-standard config - ie custom jobs for the navy.
I kind of wonder if the pump linked to above might have a shared history? Crediton isnt *that* big a place.
Coincidently, i drive to Crediton 6x a week. I dont know if that would be any help to anyone?

I have no idea what that is off, but I think it would lend itself to making one of those industrial style lamps. Look beautiful all polished up and bolted to the wall, with a bulb on a flexible tube. I love brass.
I might even keep an eye on it, and buy it for myself as a xmas present.
-
Would you believe it, if you want an old brass 4 bar pressure gauge for a pump, now you have to compete with the steampunker's wanting to buy them for decoration!
-
Wouldn't surprise me at all. The quality of the brass is so much better in the older stuff. The depth of the shine on it is better when its polished up, and it tarnishes a lot nicer. I've got some lovely old Horse brasses. and you can really see the quality in them, even compared to a 20 year old ornament I've got.
My Grandmother worked in a Coal and Brass shop, so I've got a bit of a passion for the stuff.
I've suddenly got the urge to go and polish my Brass lizard. Ooer :o

Thanks Tony, so the Pedrollo pumps on Ebay are as good as you can get for a processor if you want a 120 lpm pump.

-
It should be OK, though I'd have to add the caveat that I'm not convinced on Pedrollo pumps reaching their stated flow rate on hot veg/bio. I've got one on my processor at the moment to free up the multistagers and it's not getting the 80lpm it claims on the label - I'd say from timing filling the settle drum about 50lpm tops.

I think that may be the nature of the beast, the 110 lpm of mine seems to suffer flow rate too with hot Bio.
-
I think due to design, centrifugal pumps will suffer with hot meth laden bio,
they produce low pressure in the center of the impeller, this low pressure will promote cavitation and reduce flow rates.
Cavitation is when due to a combination of heat and low pressure the liquid turns to a gas.

It might come down to impeller design - the Pedrollo ones are only very basic - by comparison the Calpeda multistager has gently rounded intake shapes which sharpen towards the outside of the impeller, and didn't seem to suffer the same flow rate limitation with hot bio. On the other hand you could argue this shears the liquid less so perhaps not as good for mixing?

A pump head, as marked on the plate, is a measure of Dynamic head, you're not allowing for the static head on our plants.
The dynamic head we deal with is measured in inches, it's the height between the surface of the oil to the return pipe.
Basically we only have to worry about pipe resistance not head.

LOL, so fancy building me a twin cone reactor with 22mm piping and pointing me to an 80 LPM pump with 1 inch Bsp inlet to go with it then Jim. Ya could have pointed it out all them years ago.
Anyways it's worked absolutely fine all the time I have had it. Empties the reactor in the time you would expect based on flow rate and even now has a 110 lpm pump which also works without issues. So I assume theories don't always have the effect in practise maybe.

Woh, you've queezed 110lpm through a 22mm pipe? The fluid velocity must be incredible.
Here's 80lpm through a 22mm pipe on my processor
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1v1w6chKYos
This is fine for discharge pipework in relatively short runs but definitely not for suction - the problem is getting cavitation when the Methanol/biodiesel mix is approaching the point where the Methanol is starting to boil - even the slightest resistance can cause cavitation and this dramatically affects the pump's performance and ability to drive the venturi.
Every pump's performance is different, and for the same maximum flow rate two pumps can have different inlet sizes, presumably a decision by the manufacturers based on anticipated suction run length. There are some general rules on fluid velocity for pump inlets and outlets, they all vary depends on whose advice you follow, but they all allow roughly twice the outlet velocity than the inlet velocity. I'll have to see if I can find my notes but I'm pretty sure 80lpm through 22mm is way over all of the recommended inlet velocities :)
Generally if you go by the inlet size to determine the pipework sizing there's not much to get wrong.
-

If you hadn't use the elbow on the 22mm pipe you'd have seen some real flow.

Its odd, I've noticed how there seems to be a big market for pumps to agriculture in other countrys, and yet in this country, there doesn't seem to be any. I can only think that either the mains are more widespread in this country, or its wet enough that most the old farms were built below a natural spring, or we just don't harvest rainwater the way other places do.

If that's like the Stuart Turner I've got (which it looks like it is) then it has a brushed commutator (spark possibility). Mine also developed a leaky cap which keeps dripping into the commutator with a loud POP while tripping the breaker. I've wiped it all up but it keeps doing it. The cap is some custom arrangement. All in all not enthusiastic about that pump.

The seller says it is a mono, and it does look a bit like it. Good for WVO, but I think Bio will eat the rubber. Julian will know more about it.

There is also another plate which states:
Mirrlees Pumps Ltd:
So, Mirrlees (not mono!)
It looks like an odd beast though - i know nothing of gear pumps, but it made me think of them?

Its a smaller one of these -

Definitely not a gear pump, more like a screw pump.

At that age there's the risk of the cap leaking/failing. Can't see a brushed motor appealing to anyone that deals with methanol but for the veggers perhaps it's more suitable?

Picked up another Calpeda MXHM203, that's three-and-a-half I've got now - enough for the new processor build to have two plus one spare. Fortunately it had Nylon wear rings and not EPDM, I'm beginning to wonder if I was just unlucky with getting a really old one the first time around!

I've never used a sniper, so maybe you should do the bidding.
As far as price, I'm a tight git (you may have noticed) but what do they normally go for,
considering they're advertised as working very well, but sold as spares or repare.
-
I'm on the lookout for one to replace an ailing vane pump I use to 1u filter my fuel, but as you two have an eye on them I'll duck out on this occasion. Good luck chaps!

I've used gixen.com as an auction sniper for years, it's very reliable.
Very good of Nige to volunteer for a two hour round journey, that's a bit above and beyond the call of duty.
-
William and now Tony expressed an interest, I don't mind ducking out if you and William or Tony want to do a split and can arrange the logistics.
Let me know, otherwise I'm in.
And no, it's come as a complete surprise that your a tight git!
Tight as you may be don't bid too low, these are little gems of pumps, you don't want to miss out ... you can have hours of fun playing with the mechanical seals ... ask me how I know!!!
-
My wife has been off work sick, and not likely to return too soon I'll pass up on this,
it would be a shame of others to lose out on some good pumps just because at pressent I'm a tighter git than normal.
But if one of you wins them for under £10 I'll kick myself.

ill have a go to win them and i will try and arrange carrier collection as 2 hour trip is a lot for what it will cost to send carrier to collect

My offer of collection is genuine. Bid away and then let me know.

So who is really after one then? I'd just like one and would be willing to punt about £40 on it.

hi tony really wanted the pair not for bio related but for a hydrotherapy pool i am installing in our new pet factory.but if you want them its ok ill wait till another pair comes up. i would have paid at least 50 pound each.
thanks william

If William's dropping out I'm happy to jump back in.
I'll match your £40.00 if you like Tony, but I'd be happy to go a little higher, they're worth it.

So how about I snipe at 90 and we go 50:50 if we win?

Nigel they are strong self primers, and move thick liquids like WVO as if they're water, don't care about lumps and are quiet.

What's so special about these mono's guys?
Beat me to it Tony, but I'll post my thoughts ...
Very sturdy design, self priming, will pump sludge, just about positive displacement, don't stir up what they pump too badly and are usually low maintenance although I've recently had quite a lot of trouble with my mechanical seal.
-
These MS pumps are quite low flow, around 17 ltrs/min, but still very good at what they do.
-
I can see the advantages of having such a pump. I hope you get them for a good price.
I await, with anticipation, the details of collection and the price you get them for.
-
Thanks Nige. Wouldn't be possible without you and even if we don't win, that's much appreciated.
-
Tony you have a PM.
-
Following Julian's PM, and given the unknown state of the pumps "spares or repair" (might be seized/damaged despite what he says - they've clearly been left outside in the rain) and having shown our hand at how much we were willing to bid in the thread here, I've changed the snipe amount.
-
Outbid - but thank you anyway Nige!

Oh, poo!

Unlucky guys...ah well!

Nige that looks like a jet pump, it'll have PPO innards which will be OK for shifting veg/bio until the ejector bit softens and shears off. Best avoided I'm afraid.

I use one of those pumps for 1u filtering into barrels - it's a vane pump.
And just like it, the plastic fan cover is missing - mine dissolved in bio splashes, and the leccy box on top is going the same way.
It doesn't overheat from just filling 25l drums a few at a time but I wouldn't want to run it continuously like that.

Well I know you can get diaphragm chemical dosing pumps, so maybe this is the way to go, but they are £££.

With the playing about I've been doing dosing with small amounts of ASM, I've been toying with the idea of a peristaltic pump. Very low flow rate butwould that do what you want?

Good luck. I don't think any of us has played with multistage Lowaras. The HMS is the only one with stainless bits between stages, the HM, MHZ are PPO.
The only concern is the elastomer between stages - the datasheet says it's EPDM so may swell with bio use.

When that happened on the first Calpeda I had, the pump seized. The EPDM rings were an integral part of the diffusers between stages, so I couldn't just swap them out (not just o-rings - specially shaped jobs). Maybe it's different on the Lowara - I don't know. I did think of sanding them down to get clearance after the swelling.
In my case I picked up a cheap three-phase version of the same pump but with nylon wear rings, and swapped the parts over (it came literally as a box of bits - whoever dismantled it couldn't figure out how it went back together).

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=161051741628&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS:GB:1123#ht_311wt_1066

The black bit isn't phisicaly conected to the pump in any way. but I'm not sure what it is.
-
I reckon I'll give the HMS a miss then Tony. Thanks for the information.
-
I'll try and get the software on my laptop then ... try and make a wish list of what you want a panel to do, and we'll have a bash at Ebuilding it!
Have to be the Saturday, as that's the only day I'm there and you won't be around much after Sunday lunch.
I would like so see it control a womble entrapment device, automated bolt gun, womble skinning module, temperature controlled womble rotisserie and, as final stage, a bone grinding device.
Do you reckon you can get that done by Saturday Julian?
-
No problem!
-
No problem!
Well, I say that. Managed to get the software loaded onto the Windows bloody 8 lap top, but the lead to connect the logic relay has a 9 pin female serial plug. In true sods law style, the lap top has no serial socket.
You can buy adapter leads, but does anyone know if conversion software is necessary? Some leads appear to be sold with mini CDs but many don't.
Help!
-
That's how I've done it before - bought a USB to serial adapter. They have custom drivers - this is usually what is on the CD (it creates a virtual com port on the PC).
The adapters actually working seems a bit hit and miss though.
-
Thanks, Tony. Don't want to spend a fortune, so looking at this as a possibility ...

Did a little reading and it would seem that "wakeup", whatever that is, a bit of an issue. This one specifically says it operates "wake up". The blobby bit seems to have some electronics in it, so I guess it must do a bit more that a simple lead.
Any thoughts ... I know this sort of stuff cheap off ebay is always a risk?
-
That's the sort of thing all right.
Easiest way to check one is working is to jam a screwdriver across pins 2 and 3 (tx and rx) and type something into a serial terminal - you should see it echoed back.
-
So Julian can't finist his extension in how many years,
but a turn key Womble dispatcher in under two weeks is "no problem".

Thanks for the advise, but me, stuffing screw drivers across terminals? ... best way to blow things up ... even if I knew what a serial terminal was!
I'll buy it and see how adventurueous I am when it arrives.

Oh, come on, it's as good as finished ... even the domestic authorities acknowledge that fact.

Granted it's come on a long way since I first saw it, you even have the kitchen in and the walls painted,
but two weeks is all you have to complete a fully automated Womble killing machine,
and don't forget the OLD copper basher himself will be inspecting it, it needs to be up to his standards you know.
Then again maybe it's a good thing, you hastily cobble something together and Jim will spend all weekend stripping it down, redesigning it, fettling every component one by one until it's working "just so",
by that time it'll be Sunday afternoon and I'll be waving goodbye as leave the field in one piece.
So go ahead, do your best, and save my skin for another year.
Then you'll get the blaim for all the starving people that were expecting to feast on the finest quality Womble meat,
this will take the heat off of me, so you'll be the one that gets it next year.

They are some munters. I wonder would they be any good for a bio processor. I would imagine the workings are probably metal.

I did a page on Mono MS's here ... http://www.biopowered.co.uk/wiki/Pump_-_Mono_MS
Seller doesn't say if the pump works. Might be worth asking if he knows, but tell him not to run the unit dry.
Spares are readily available, but a bit expensive. Most likely problem will be the stator circa 50 quid (Viton stators are available to replace the standard Nitrile ones). Only other parts that go are the rotor (lots of money, but last a long time)and the seal ... see the page above for referbing.
They are great pumps. If you can get it at a good price you won't regret it!

was just looking at those, but they must be high flow and very low head / pressure
one is 0.75kw and the other is 0.25kw.... a tam 105 is 0.3kw
still great for bio tho... just no good for what I want :-(
-
The little one is less than that even - 250W. You're right, they can't be high pressure. Fine for biodiesel mixing as you say though. Seems almost a shame to pass them up at that money, but shed space is scarce!

That one will give 50lpm.

It most certainly is a pertinent question, however I would never view it as impertinent.
The search term is simply "mono pump -foot" obviously the foot bit eliminated dozens of ads for plimsolls. I would also add "-windscreen -headlamp -window" as some chap is selling car windscreen washer pumps using the term mono and they tend to get a bit annoying!

Haha, impertinent, sorry, been a long day.

The Mono above is still available and currently at 20 quid.
I use a similar pump with "flying hoses" to move all the oil and bio all around the process. They are self priming, so you won't meed to drill take off points in any of your drums and you can skim good oil and bio from the top of drums.

(http://i.ebayimg.com/t/Mono-self-priming-water-pump-/00/s/MTYwMFg5MDA=/z/HNoAAOxy4fBTkafe/$_57.JPG)
Beware, motors for these pumps have a special shaft with a left-hand thread to take the rotor, so ity's not a simple replacement.
If the motor can be repaired (might just be the capacitor) it will make a cheap pump.
If anyone wants to bid on it post up, otherwise I'll bid on it as spares for my MS.

was keeping an eye on that one - not that i need another mono, but its close to Rachel's folks' place...

i forgot to bring the little petrol powered mono to the bbb (JAP engine)

Badly described Mono in Manchester. Unfortunately 3 phase, but a suitable single phase should be an easy find or could be connected with a home made coupling.

After messing about with one of my Leo pumps today, trying to get it to prime, with a leaking seal (i have 4-off them - they all leak now!) i was dreaming of having another (electric) mono...
...or maybe just getting some quick release fittings for my existing one. They're still heavy (to move about) as pumps go though.
-
whats a mono pump?
-
It's an industrial slurry pump. Moves lumpy cold veg like it's water. One of the best bits of kit I've ever invested in.
-
Mono is the manufacturer? Known for a particular style of pump, which has taken the name?
-
That's right, Mono is the industry big name though some companies copy it like Moyno.
They are progressive cavity pumps, so any lumps just get pulled through, no issues.
-
cheers.

Proper pumps are expensive, at work they pay that just to have pumps resealed! Italian and German pump are several hundred for a tam type pump.
We have a about 10 in one building that are 415v ones with 6 inch inlets, they draw about 80amp on startup, dread to think what each one costs to replace.
-
cheers.
will read up on them
There's quite a bit on them on the wiki. Manuals for the MS, MM and ML range are in the manuals section and there's a "botch it for free" mechanical seal renovation on an MS which has a separate page.
They are built like brick toilet blocks. None of them shift vast quantities of fluid, but they are self priming, will create high pressures and will pump pretty much any thing you can throw at them. Two golden rules ... never let them run dry (not too much of a problem when running oil) and never run them against a closed head, especially the MS.
You can buy Viton stators for them, but the standard Nitrile stators seem fine for WVO and glycerin.
And yes, 200 quid is very cheap for a new one!

Julian, after my lathe the pillar drill the bench grinder, the honda genny and the yet to receiver petrol pressure washer I have absolutly no space for one, I don't really need any of them either......
Still that multi stager was winking at me so I will have a chat with the guys doing the clearing out. Weights an absolute ton.
Jules some of them are 415 but when I looked at the controls box I seem to remember it being single phase.
Yeah I think I will nab it its got a lovely control panel on it.
I am a pump whore? Do I need Help?
Answers on a post card....
-
Yes you are and no you don't ;)
The trouble with those big circulation pumps is the size and weight and three-phasedness.
-
Having run a 3 phase pump for the past few years via an inverter, I'd highly recommend it.
The inverter gives you so much control over the motor, you can instantly see if there's something clogging up the impeller or run it at half speed for circulation which uses about 1/4 the power of full speed. I actually run mine at 60Hz during the reaction phase too - it makes quite a difference to the reaction speed.
I didn't think that a 3 phase pump + inverter was that much more expensive than a large single phase pump.
-
I've got an inverter and a 3 phase gear pump that Mark gave me, I keep meaning to try it but never quite get around to getting the inverter set up correctly. So many parameters! I'm sure you're very familiar with these things but mine feels rather counter intuitive!
-
Generally, all you need to set up is max current and max frequency.
Leave everything else as default.
-
I actually run mine at 60Hz during the reaction phase too - it makes quite a difference to the reaction speed.
What difference does running it at 60Hz make to enable it to complete reactions quicker ?
-

You'd have got it cheaper if I hadn't bid against you, err, sorry but I didn't know.
-
Is anybody bidding on that? If not then I will have a go
Yes you did - I posted as above - but never mind I am happy at £31
-
What difference does running it at 60Hz make to enable it to complete reactions quicker ?
With an induction motor (which all of our pump motors are, excepting DC or funky pumps) the speed it runs at is a function of frequency.
Driving at 60Hz over 50Hz means it runs 20% faster. (ish...there's something slip too which varies depending on load, but ignore it to grab the principle of the thing)
Generally, you can drive a motor to the maximum rated current without ill effect - which you can achieve using an inverter drive as pump motors are normally oversized. So you can drive them faster, until you reach the maximum rated motor current. You also need to consider cavitation too as if you run too fast then the pump will start to cavitate.
For short durations, you can quite happily drive an induction motor at 10x rated current. Or longer if you improve cooling - which is how electric cars can derive so much power from a very small motor.
Hmmm...slight tangent at the end there. I've been at the homebrew.

Mono MM / ML near Gloucester.
May have been a Marine pump sold by a company I used to work for as it's designated CGF wish I could remember what the other numbers meant.
Buy it now £150 ...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/mono-Dresser-CGF233R1-X-pump-/151606954432?ssPageName=ADME:SS:SS:GB:1120
(http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/yQoAAOSwe-FU9JCj/$_57.JPG)
Needs a motor. Can't remember the exact spec., but unlike the MS pump the MM and ML use a standard flange mounted motor.
Alternatively a flange and bearing mounted shaft could be made to turn it into a bare shaft pimp and driven with a belt drive. With a belt drive it could be run faster than normal increasing the capacity.
-
Looks like the business end of my ML. Except I only paid £26 for the whole pump!
-
I know, it's not cheap, but could well be unused looking at the plugs.

I had a 12v version of one of those on a boat I once owned, not something you want to get your fingers caught in.
It did jam once when a female visitor put a tampon down the loo, great fun cleaning that lot out.

As Tony says mine would never compare with that monster but you still wouldn't want to get mangled in it, it was powered with a motor about as powerful as a car starter with the same size cables.
There WAS a sign on the door stating "If you haven't eaten it DON'T put it down the loo" followd by "Anything over 2kg must be lowered by hand".

quick note on the £23 tam105 copies
just wired one up (first one I've wired up)
with the top cover off, you can see down into the motor, and there's a far bit of empty space there... the motor windings are a good inch and a half shorter than the motor body

(http://i.imgur.com/tH3Gh3d.jpg)
supposed to be 370watts vs a tam 300watts (iirc)
less coper fill normally means less power
but I guess these motors could just be less efficient... mine has been running fine, pumping just as much as the tam105 it replaced
on the up side... there's a small hole in the bottom of the pump body... so if the pump seal go whatever is being pumped should drip out of that hole instead of filling the motor housing :-)

It was more the hopper idea that attracted me rather than the pump ... anyhow, if it's been used for grout it'll be knackered!
Julian ... I think the mix would need to be quite runny for a Mono to be able to pump it ... think more slurry than anything else.

I now have possession of an M25 Mono ... so not an MS ... I thought it looked slightly different! I'd guess it's the forerunner of the MS, so probably quite old.
The chap said it works OK and he'd used it for irrigating his garden with grey water. Nice chap, bit of a home engineer, lathe, band saws, table saw welder etc, etc and a confirmed hoarder of things mechanical.
I noticed on getting it home the thread in the suction post is very badly rusted (had the same problem with one of the MMs I have). I think I may have a suitable tap ... do you want me to clean it up?
Let me know what you want me to do with it. I should be attending the BBB, but as it seems to be a long one, we maybe need to liaise to make sure we don't miss each other.
-
Yes please if you can run a tap down to clean the threads I would be grateful.
As for the BBB I hope to go down Friday morning and leave Sunday about noon.
But its a long way off yet will confirm closer to the date.
Regards Richard.
-
you know those £23 tam copies on ebay..... one of mine burst into flames :-(
but... I've been off for a few days with a bad back, and there's a good chance the impeller was jammed on a stone and they just left it turned on / ignored it
fitted another.... time will tell :-)
-
Good reason not to pump methanol!
-
I replaced the one that caught fire with another one (I bought 4) and.... it has smoke coming out of it after 10min use
going to return them all for a refund !
good idea to avoid these, especially if you're making bio / there's fumes around !

Thanks for the info Knight, I was going to buy one of those, think I'll give it a miss.

Ran the tap down both suction and discharge ports and they cleaned up quite well. Not as bad as I first thought, but I still wouldn't do the fittings up too tight!

Here's the five stage version of the three stagers I use:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/calpeda-pump-/151678207992
Datasheet says it will push 80lpm @ 19m head (1.86 bar) whereas mine "only" do 80lpm @ 9m head (0.88 bar).
Either way great for running venturis with little or no loss of flow (my venturi back pressure is 0.85 bar with liquid being drawn in or side port closed, and 1.0 bar with side port drawing air/vapour).
It's a bit pricey but maybe if it doesn't sell he'll take an offer?

I built a bowl type centrifuge. I think 2ltrs /min would be a bit fast unless the bowl is very tall. Aside from the fact that it might explode, I never pursued it's use because of the slow through put.
I guess with a little more effort at automation and a suitable pump ... possibly a big peristaltic, it could be pressed into use.
I've got some photos somewhere, I'll see if I can find them.

anyone know what you call pumps like these where the pump head is a distance away from the motor ?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HBTHERM-Motor-with-Impellor-11kW-3-Phase-/321757854341
I'm planning to switch to heating boilers via thermal oil at work (it's safer than gas) but that means I need to pump thermal oil that's up to 300'C.... the 'official' pumps I know about start at £2000....
so I was thinking I'll use a pump like above, and extend the shaft, so the pump head can be in the hot oil, and the motor can be well away from it ontop of the tank...
-
That, or at least that design, looks like a suds pump off a lathe to me.
By the sounds of it you just want a bare shaft pump that you can drive by any method of your choice.
-
That's a vertical sump pump. You want the opposite of "close coupled" whatever that's called.
-
awesome, now I know what to look for I can keep my eye out for a decent 2nd hand one, or if I have to, I can get a new one when I need it (no hurry yet)
my parents had one years ago pumping out the sump in the cellar... it was donkeys years old when they moved in 50 years ago and they only got rid of it recently because it was noisy and freaked out the new dog if it came on in the night... wish they still had it, it would have probably been ok with a new set of bearings!

better quality than the sidwil copies, the electric box is all metal, the whole body has cooling fins on and the fan really blows the air over it.
its noisy, but shifts cold oil really well.
the filter on the pick up side does get blocked with debris ( i use it for emptying collected 60`s), but its easy to clean out as you only need an allen key to get to it.

OK there's only so much pump porn I can take before I blow some cash, he relisted it at £80 BIN, and I offered him £70, so it's on the way to me now. I'm sure Jim's 80lpm eductor and venturi that he made for me really won't mind a bit of extra oompf behind them, I've got plenty of 1 1/4" steel pipe and a 1 1/4" die kit so bring it on (when I get the time!)

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291732390145
...don't bother - I asked Mono and it's not compatible.
That surprises me ... I always thought the "G" range was just a bare shaft version of the "MM" or "ML" with only the "MS" being a different design. Did they say why it wouldn't fit?
-
No... perhaps it doesn't fit for profiteering reasons?
-
I think that's a distinct possibility.
If you want to give it a shot, I've got an a couple of MMs or MLs (can't remember which they are) in the garage that I can easily take apart and measure the critical dimensions of stator for you.
-
I've looked at a lot of datasheets for the G range pumps, and the exploded diagrams show very clearly exactly the same head arrangement, even the rotor has the same number of "bumps" so I think it's a fair bet that it'll fit. I've got a new rotor so I can twiddle that down the stator and see if it all looks OK.
My only concern is that perhaps the stator (and rotor) are slightly different diameters for some reason. But why go to the effort of tooling for the manufacture of just slightly different parts? I can't imagine that the rotors are cheap to manufacture.
So, I've bought it. Worst case is sell it on again.
My ML works OK, it's just that it's had many hours used as a water pump before I got it, and it's pumped tens of thousands of liters of manky veg over the years that I've owned it. The poor thing is a bit overdue some TLC.
-
Good move ... I'd be very interested to see if it fits ... I'd go 95% sure on it fitting.
I don't even think there's a difference between an MM and ML ... I believe one just has a faster (possibly more powerful) motor.
Manky, slippy, slimy oil is probably the kindest thing you can run through a Mono!
-
Totally agree. Water is probably worse for it!
-
Im sure that, on the occasions im stuck, and i use the mono to pump bio / glyc with the nitrile stator - well, i think that will be the death of mine.
In fairness, i always pump some veg through after, and leave it with veg inside it.

I think you'll be surprised how long it will last used that way. When mine had a nitrile stator, I used to pump bio often and never purged it. The only reason for replacing it was because I dead ended it and the stator flange tore.
-
Well, this is not looking good. The stator arrived but I can't screw the rotor into it very far. I assume this should be quite easy, so perhaps they have different pitches?
-
Oh! sounds a little worrying ... tried a bit of lub?
If rotor and stator are the same length it should be easy to count the "wobbles" to check the pitch.
-
Rotor has three bumps and stator four - bugger!
-
Clutching at straws possibly, but could a "bump" in the stator equate to a "dip" in the rotor?
-
A whole bunch of stators just came on eBay for the MM/ML, standard rubber and Hypalon. Stock remaining, go grab 'em at this bargain price :)

On the same basis a herd of elephants would exclude those that are deaf, a gaggle of geese would exclude those that don't gag and a drove of donkeys would be completely meaningless as none of them can grip the steering wheel.

added to my watch list.
my ml did somthing odd today - punctured inlet pipe, so did not prime. left running too long, and then, when i realised, smoke and bad smell from the stator area.
Might be ok, might have generated too much frictional heat.
-
I've seen Monos where the stator has overheated ... it's one of the few ways you can damage them!
The surface will look a little like elephant skin if it's over heated. The rotor should be OK but may have bits of burnt Nitrile stuck to it, but it'll clean off just don't damage the surface,
Easy job to pop the cover off and have a look, Some photos for the wiki would be good for when we can upload again.

Good luck with it, it looks like a nice pump, less to go wrong on an MS ... no coupling, the rotor is screwed directly to the motor shaft and the flange on the stator flexes to account for the eccentricity of the rotor.

Wont you then need to spend about £70 on a viton stator?
-
Not bothered with my Mono ML, which I've had since my early bio days and is still going strong. Paid £24 for that pump. :)
Stators do turn up on eBay for around the £25 mark if you're patient... same with rotors.
-
I have a spare rotor for my mono ml somwhere, but no stator - and, of course, its the stators that die. I cant see a rotor ever dying from the amount of veg / glyc etc that i pump.
Ive always been careful to flush through with veg after pumping glyc, but i had an air leak on the inlet a while back, and it was running for a while, and i think some of the magic smoke has escaped from the stator. It still pumps fine, but is a pain to prime.
-
Do you think friction damaged it then rather than the glyc?
I must admit mine has only ever pumped veg or bio and not at any temperature.
-
Yes, certainly.
The air leak was in the suction hose prior to the mono - so it was running dry for some time. Well, oiled, but i think that the friction heated the rubber - there was 'smoke' rising up the clear suction inlet pipe when i turned it off.
I dont think glyc has harmed it due to always flushing it with veg. But im under the impression that it would if i left it in there, left bio in there (etc)
I know Julian (brtp) uses his on his reactor, but i think his has a viton stator.
-
I do and it does have a Viton stator, however I'd used it for some time previously with a Nitrile stator and it was always parked full of whatever it last pumped. Due to the way it's piped up this can be oil, part reacted bio C/W all chemicals and glycerin.
The stator required replacing only because it was old and I ran it against a closed valve which has a tendency to shear off the flange on an MS. The Nitrile although a little warn didn't show any noticeable signs of chemical attack.
I'd just run with a standard stator until the time you HAVE to replace it then make the decision if it's worth paying the extra for Viton.

No luck on that Mono MS, I was outbid by a couple of quid!
I did however pick up another one, slightly more modern build - but it has been dropped on one end and the cowling is missing. I had a long chat with Dave at Anchor Pumps (professional pumpophile as it turns out) and he asked Mono, but apparently not a part they stock as a spare and none on the scrappers pumps he's got...
-
Do you mean the motor cowling? If so it's a good candidate for 3D print.
If you mean the plastic cover/s on the pump, there's an stl file on the wiki.
-

Yeah fan cowling. I saw your .stls on the wiki (turned up when I googled!)
I'm thinking that the fan cowling would be a useful addition - though not general purpose (obviously depends which pump motor is fitted to the MS).
-
Over the years Mono used many motor suppliers ... could try the motor manufacturer if it still has its rating plate.
I think our resident trumpet player (who seem to be using his mute recently ... hope all is OK?) printed a motor cowl. It may be possible to take his and scale to suit.

£90 not a bit dear ?
-
Well, they're £350 new, and multistage with stainless impellers, so it's not unreasonable. They push a lot of pressure so great for venturis and educators - the only catch is that they are closed impeller so the oil being processed has to be filtered. I think they're great, seem quite happy pumping oil at over 100C.
-
I appreciate that it's only 1/3 of the consumpion of a frankenpump (TAM 120) but it doesn't really compare. Over 1 1/2 hours processing the extra cost would be about 18pence.
The head on the 120 is 65 metres and with an unmodified 1/2" eductor mine pumps at 71psi. someone on VOD calculated the nozzle velocity at 28 metres/sec. It was a bit risky at that pressure so from Jims' advice I drilled it to 8.5mms, now it pumps at 31psi with oil and 28psi with bio.
There is a slight efficiency gain as the fluid kinetics heat the oil without the immersion.
-
Ah yes, granted on the leccy cost. At the time I first got one of those pumps I was running on a 13A extension lead so immersion+pump amperage was a consideration. Then we fitted underground SWA cabling and a 32A commando, which made a big difference.
Then I moved house - back to the 13A extension lead again until we sort the electrics out!
-
Can you wrap the lead round the processor for added heating?
-
It's chilly in the garage so I wrapped it around my legs. Health and safety first, can't be having cold calf muscles!

first data plate says 1.1kw... that's not enough to shift that much?
second data plate says 21 cubic meters per hour, about 350litres/min... but also says 9.55kw (maybe 8.55?)

It is a "lube pump" so possibly designed for high flow but low pressure?
I did wonder if the flow rating was a mistake, or there was supposed to be a decimal point in there somewhere. The ports don't look anywhere big enough to pass 100 litres per second.
