The new THOR Circulation and Gas Injection Pump is our most advanced pump design ever. Built around a new, super-charged rotor, the THOR offers 20% more metal flow for increased furnace circulation and productivity. THOR also uses a new gas injection method built around our proven Foot & Tube design to increase gas injection rates and mixing for superior metal treatment.
The robust 12” diameter rotor is rich in advanced features. Using advanced modeling techniques, we have improved the tried-and-tested mixed-flow rotor design and dramatically increased the efficiency of this rotor to generate 20% more metal flow. The new design cuts efficiently through the metal to provide a quiet, non-turbulent pump well. It still uses open passage ways to allow debris to pass through the pump rather than clog it. We have also increased the strength of this rotor to improve service life. All these advances take this new rotor to a higher level of performance.
The 4” diameter shaft is engineered to provide maximum strength and optimum service life. The THOR uses our latest coupling ease of replacement. Support for the pump is built around three rugged 5” diameter posts, symmetrically placed for structural stability. The shaft and posts are protected by field proven RHINO sleeves for maximum protection from oxidation and wear.
Leading the improvements is a new, advanced Foot & Tube method for injecting gas into the molten metal. Using the flow of metal, the THOR creates an aspirator effect to actually pull the gas into the flowing metal. The resulting turbulence created is very effective at shearing and mixing the gas for superior metal treatment at lower pump speeds. Gas leakage is eliminated. Unlike angled tube designs which can be broken by passing debris, the Foot & Tube method does not obstruct the flow of metal and, therefore, cannot be broken by passing debris. The new Foot & Tube method promises to revolutionize gas injection performance.
Like all MMEI pumps, THOR is easy to assemble and is self-aligning. The THOR uses a new post clamp that makes it even easier and faster to build!
As with all MMEI pumps, THOR is backed by our unparalleled technical support for life!
Rugged design, higher metal flow, and more efficient gas injection make the THOR the right answer for circulating molten metal and demagging metal. With THOR, you’ll see why we say “Get more with Thor!” For more information, please contact us!
