The adaptable VX series for task-oriented pumping

The all-round pump of the VX series is characterized by its compact design and robust properties. She is easy to maintain, self-priming and dry running resistant findable. That‘s why it‘s ideal for media and substances ranging from thin to highly viscous, abrasive or aggressive sive as well as those who react sensitively to shear forces. As a servicefriendly classic rotary lobe pump used worldwide, the VX series pumps are available in five series with up to eight sizes. Depending on the task and performance requirements, a specially designed version of the reliable rotary lobe pump can be assigned for almost any delivery rate and any differential pressure.

The models of the VX series

The small rotary lobe pump

VX100

The rotary lobe pumps of the VX100 series are available in four sizes, offering the advantages of the Vogelsang VX series for small to medium capacities of up to 50 m³/h and pressures up to 10 bar. Special options, such as a sophisticated lightweight concept with aluminum components, a directly flanged electric motor, or the PTB-certified A1 design with flame trap, make the VX100 series the ideal solution for simple to highly specialized applications. They are the economic solution for a wide variety of applications in industry, wastewater technology and transport – particularly where there is a need for self-priming, dry-running-resistant, easy to maintain and efficient pump technology.

The powerful rotary lobe pump

VX215

The VX series in the VX215 range impresses with its large flow rates. Four sizes in 6 different designs allow up to 24,000 l/min or 1,417 m³/h and pressures of up to 8 bar. And at the same time, it is very compact and has a low net weight. Another positive characteristic is its strong resistance to foreign matter thanks to a large free passage of 90 mm. This series can also be fitted with the InjectionSystem as an optional extra. This increases the pumps’ insensitivity to foreign matter. To ensure rapid maintenance, the series is designed according to the QuickService principle. This means that all wetted parts can be changed in the installation position, without dismounting the pump. This makes the VX215 series particularly well suited to pumping tasks that demand power, e.g. in membrane filtration, on tankers or on self-propelled vehicles.

Features of the VX series

On rotary lobe pumps from Vogelsang, wear on the pump housing segments is compensated without using additional parts. This makes the most of the material and prolongs service life.
Axial wear plates are made from highly wear-resistant special steel and therefore extend maintenance intervalls. They offer protection for the entire pump chamber and therefore not only simplify maintenance, but also minimize downtime. At the same time costs are minimized.
With our extensive selection of lobe geometry and materials, we will find the right long-life lobe for your media, e.g. NBR, NBR white, EPDM-SL, EPDM-AL, EPDM white, CSM, FKM, PU, stainless steel oder nitrided steel. The lobes can be produced in a straight, double-wing geometry or as 3-wing; 4-wing or 6-wing, pulsation-free HiFlo lobes.
Alongside the standard model in abrasion-resistant gray cast iron, versions in ADI and stainless steel are stocked as well. On request, the components of the pump chamber can be manufactured from duplex steel or a nickel-based alloy. Other options for customization include heat treatment and wear-resistant coatings for the wear plates and housing components.
The Vogelsang Quality Cartridge stands for modern sealing technology. The mechanical seal in cartridge design is manufactured automatically in the factory, completely pre-assembled and checked by computer. This makes it quick and easy to change on site: assembly errors are avoided and the time required is reduced. This means quick and easy replacement of the shaft seal as well as safe commissioning after seal replacement.
VX pumps from Vogelsang have sturdy, break-proof shafts with a large diameter and without cranks and recesses to weaken them. The benefit is that Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps give a minimum shaft deflection even under high pressure, very low start-up wear, and ultimately reduced operating costs and spare parts costs.
Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps are built according to a unique element-based design. With them, the customer isn’t forced to replace the entire body, but instead just the element that is affected. The economical replacement of individual components not only makes maintenance simpler and quicker, but simultaneously reduces the operating costs.

Options of the VX series

The InjectionSystem significantly improves the foreign-matter resistance of the pump. It increases the efficiency and improves the suction capacity through optimized volumetric efficiency. Thanks to the InjectionSystem the service life of the pump is extended. Field trials prove a longer period of up to 2.5 times.
The wear plates, made from highly wear-resistant special steel, extend maintenance intervals considerablx, simplify maintenance and minimize downtimes. Also your costs are significantly reduce during maintenance.
Unlike conventional lobes, Vogelsang’s HiFlo® lobes ensure pulsation-free pumping and consequently longer lifetimes for the drive and coupling. At the same time, the suction capacity is increased due to the higher number of sealing lines. The improved internal sealing enables suction from deep pits.
The speed-dependent displacement of the VX rotary lobe pumps makes them ideal for precise longitudinal distribution within the spreading swath. Either screwed directly into the gearbox or in conjunction with the UDS both versions of the Vogelsang speed sensor are used to calculate the flow rate, allowing precise control of the required spreading capacity.
The Universal Drive System (UDS) allows the same VX rotary lobe pump to be operated with a number of different types of drive (hydraulic and geared motors, classic cardan shaft, three-speed gearbox) or locations (stationary, mobile). This is done by combining the pump with a shaft and drive adapter. The UDS makes spare parts management easier and enhances flexibility.
In the QD design, an additional, third support bearing provides extra stability and extremely low shaft deflection, resulting in minimal pressure-related wear. This results in a longer lifetime and reduced wear, especially at high pressures.
Vogelsang’s rotary lobe pumps themselves are also compact in design, which saves weight. Also thanks to the pumping technique a considerable reduction in pipes is possible. Therefore Vogelsang rotary lobe pumps weigh up to 37 % less that comaprable models on the market.
We offer another option which is perfectly suited to road transport: aluminum pump housing and lobe cores. This helps haulers to keep the tare of the transport vehicle to a minimum and thus increase the payload. The gearbox housing, bearing seal housing and QuickService cover are all made of aluminum. Particular attention has been paid to making sure that all components that come into contact with the medium are lined with robust gray cast iron or highly wear-resistant special steel.
