Jessberger Drum Pump Set JP-AIR3 for flammable media

Drum Pump Set with an air driven motor for flammable liquids and for use in potentially explosive environments. 

The JP-AIR3 ATEX Drum pump set is a preassembled drum pump set for 200L drums (immersion length 1000 mm). The JP-AIR3 drum pump is suitable for flammable liquids and for use in potentially explosive environments. 

This pre-assembled drum pump set is a complete plug-and-play kit where everything you need to get started is included in the package. Simply unpack, install, connect to your air-installation and turn the power on and you are ready to use your new air-driven drum pump.

This EX-Proof air operated motor drum pump set is lightweight and powerful for almost all thin and lightly viscous liquid. The clear construction of the drum pump guarantees a rational and safe use. These air operated drum pumps and conductive stainless steel pump tubes guarantee absolute safety when pumping or transferring flammable media of different hazard classes or during use in hazardous environments.

The air operated motor JP-AIR 3 is a compactly built, robust explosion-proof air operated motor in accordance with the latest explosion protection guidelines ATEX 2014/34/EC, category 2. The pneumatic motor is explosion-protected to Ex 2 GD c IIC T6 (80°C) X and has a type-certificate IBEX U05 ATEX B007 X. 

The motor JP-AIR 3 provides beside other air operated motors and the electric motor JP-400 maximum safety when pumping flammable media or for use in hazardous environments. At such applications for the drive motor and the pump tube separate approvals acc. to directive ATEX 2014/34/EC are required and a potential equalization has to be installed.

The handy and powerful device (1,9 kg) can be used as a drive for the laboratory pump tubes (not Ex-certified) or in hazardous areas for the ATEX certified sealless pump tubes made of stainless steel (Ø 41 mm), the mixing pump tubes in stainless steel, the stainless steel pump tubes with mechanical seal or complete drum emptying function and the eccentric screw pump tubes of series JP-700 SR PTFE ATEX. In combination with ATEX certified pump tubes the drive is suitable for many low-viscous, neutral, slightly aggressive media and for highly flammable media with a flash point below 55°C. Its sophisticated, technically clear structure ensures an efficient and safe use when transferring the wide range of media.

The drum pump motor is characterized in addition to its robustness by its elegant design and ease of use. The non-stationary and stationary usable drive is particularly suitable for intermittent operation. The construction of the motor guarantees an high operational safety and a long lifetime.

The very robust aluminium motor housing ensures a good chemical resistance when aggressive solvent vapours are present.

The air operated motor is supplied with a silencer. The compressed air can be metered at the air inlet via a ball valve or a maintenance unit, that regulates the motor speed. On the pistol handle there is an on / off switch as a button, which can be fixed by turning it.

The maximum density of the media is for the explosion-proof air operated motor JP-AIR 3 1.5, the maximum viscosity 600 mPas.

The pump tube is made of stainless steel 316Ti. These tubes are used for all neutral, slightly aggressive liquids such as diluted acids, alkalies or detergents and thin fluid food. In addition the pump tubes provide a special safety for conveying or transferring flammable liquids of different hazard classes (up to temperature class 4) in the Ex-zone 0 and when pumping low-viscous neutral or slightly aggressive media in Ex-zones 1 and 2.

• Drive shaft: Stainless steel 316Ti
• Media temperature: max. 90°C 
• Media: Acetone, alcohol, ammonia, gasoline, flammable solvents, caustic lye, nitrocellulose lacquers, perchlorethylene, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid (up to 7.5% and over 90%), trichlorethylene, toluene.

In addition the stainless steel pump tubes are suitable for pumping thin fluid food such as fruit juices, milk, edible oils and for all media that are mentioned at aluminium tubes.

The Jessberger drum pumps operate on the principle of the axial-impeller pumps. The pump unit consists of a drive motor and pump. The motor drives the drive shaft via a coupling. At the end of the drive shaft, there is a propeller-like pump impeller (rotor). The rotor must be completely covered with the medium so that the pump can work. With the rotation, the medium is axially transferred to the outlet, i.e. parallel to the pump shaft.

This pump set consists of an air-operated drum pump motor, a pump tube suitable for the application, a two-meter media-proof dispensing hose, and a nozzle, which facilitates filling and transferring.
