Overview of the transport test

Results of a comparative test on a diaphragm pump, vacuum tank pumping,
and the YOKOTA Enhanced Self-Priming Pump
|
|
The Enhanced Self-Priming Pump is the easiest to operate and is free of
problems caused by particles in unrefined soy sauce. It is also trouble-free
because the pump itself does not overload.
|
|
|
It has been recognized that some components in unrefined soy sauce are
changed during transport, and the Enhanced Self-Priming Pump and the diaphragm
pump have produced the best results in composition tests.
|
|
|
In soy sauce yield, the Enhanced Self-Priming Pump was the best, followed
by the diaphragm pump and the vacuum tank pumping.

For loading and unloading chemical liquids for chemical tankers
A chemical cargo pump that is used for loading and unloading chemical liquids
is generally equipped on the bottom of the ship, and therefore proves troublesome
when cleaning the tank or pump due to its location. With regards to safety,
it is far more convenient to locate the pump on the deck of chemical tankers
that handle toxic and volatile liquids.
The YOKOTA Enhanced Self-Priming Pump can be installed on the deck with
no problems whatsoever. If the pump is equipped on the deck, it is safe
and easy to perform the work when dealing with toxic liquids.

For defoaming lubrication, hydraulic, cutting, and other oils
Removal of air bubbles from lubrication, hydraulic, cutting, and other
oils is normally time consuming and costly. However, the YOKOTA Enhanced
Self-Priming Pump can perform defoaming work quickly and easily.
The outstanding feature of the Enhanced Self-Priming Pump is a defoaming
mechanism that works in unison with the normal pumping operation to provide
time and cost savings.

Bearing lubrication oil for hydraulic power generating turbines is circulated
for reuse. The Enhanced Self-Priming Pump provides circulation pressure
while also removing air bubbles trapped in the lubrication oil (defoaming).
Lubrication oil that enters the suction side of the pump has a large amount
of air mixed into it, giving it a cloudy appearance. However, when it is
discharged from the pump, defoaming has been performed to completely remove
any air bubbles, and the oil becomes transparent as can be seen in the
above photos.
This clearly demonstrates the tremendous effectiveness of the Enhanced
Self-Priming Pump for maintaining lubrication oil performance.
|
|
Besides lubrication, hydraulic, and cutting oils, the pump can be used
for defoaming in a wide variety of areas such as liquid foodstuffs, beverages,
chemicals, pulp, and waste liquids.
|
|
|
Since this pump provides both self-priming and pressurizing capabilities,
costs are greatly reduced because all processes, including suction, defoaming,
and pressurized transfer of liquid, are provided by this single, compact
pump, unlike conventional methods which require installation of several
components.
|
|
|
For even more improved defoaming and degassing solutions, we offer Defoaming Equipment UPSA type and Degassing Equipment ASP type.

|
|
By draining stored septic water in rainwater settling basins into waste
water basins, pollution at the sewage facilities can be prevented. Flooding
can also be prevented by effectively using rainwater settling basins as
rainwater ponds.

For pumping out bored earth and sand in the reverse circulation construction
method
During underground excavation in the reverse circulation construction method,
instead of raising and lowering buckets, boring is continuously done using
drill bits, earth and sand are then discharged using circulating water
through the drill pipe.
The YOKOTA Enhanced Self-Priming Pump is being widely used as a suction
pump to pump out the bored earth and sand.

The mud, sand and earth siphoning main pump is connected directly to the
vacuum pump to discharge air mixed in the pump. Both are set up on a base
plate with all the necessary equipment in a modular design that facilitates
transfer to the construction site.
|
|
|
As for conventional pumping devices used in the past for the reverse circulation
construction method, mud, sand and earth penetrating the vacuum pump caused
damage or stopped pumping. However, mud, sand and earth do not penetrate
the YOKOTA Enhanced Self-Priming Pump due to its built-in water-air separating
impeller. As a result, assured, continuous suction operation is possible
without breakdown or pump stoppage.
|
|
|
Its compact size requires half the installation area of conventional reverse
circulation construction method pumping devices.
