Lutz has many years of experience and technical know-how from more than 60 years of development, production and sales of pumps and flow meters. Here you will find useful explanations and background information about our product range.
Sealing system Drum Pump: Mechanical Seal MS or Sealless SL
Type of impeller Drum Pump: Radial-flow impeller L or Axial-flow rotor R
High delivery head
Application: Overcoming larger pressure differences. (Height difference, pressure losses, high density or viscosity)
- heavy liquids (density > 1.0 kg/dm3)
- viscous liquids
- long discharge pipework
- differential head to overcome
- pressure drops due to valves, fittings, flow meter
- filling small canisters
- low power consumption at a small flow rate
- small decrease of the flow rate at increasing operating pressure
- insensitive to changes in operating conditions
High delivery rate
Usage: Free run out and no significant pressure losses.(decanting a huge amount of liquid)
- light liquids (density < 1.0 kg/dm³)
- thin-bodied liquids
- short discharge pipework
- low differential head to overcome
- low pressure drops
- emptying big containers, pumping high flow rates
- low power consumption at a larger flow rate
- noticeable decrease of the flow rate at increasing operating pressure
- sensitive to changes in operating conditions
Principle: Drum Pump with complete drum drainage RE
A movable sealing cap locks the pump foot and prevents the entered liquid from flowing back into the drum. The closing is carried out by a small lever below the hand wheel. With the motor is switched off, the pump tube holding the liquid can be removed and inserted into the next drum.
Principle: Mixing and Pumping MP (Drum Pump)
A special locking mechanism within the pump opens and closes the mixing apertures in the outer tube. Operation mode "pump only" and "mix & pump" can be changed by means of a hand lever.
Principle: Lutz Flow meter
Two oval gears interlocked and displaced by 90° in the meter housing are rotated by the flowing fluid. By means of the two oval gears a defined fluid volume "in portions" is transported. The magnets placed on the rotors are also rotated.A reed contact fitted outside of the measuring chamber records the magnetic impulses produced. The volume of the flowing fluid is determined by the number of impulses recorded.
