For a new tank farm project, the customer needed to replace an obsolete centrifugal pump previously operating at 50 GPM and 106 feet of head. The challenge was flexibility and durability. These pumps needed to handle a wide range of bulk solvents across multiple lines, including IPA, ethyl acetate, mineral spirits, heptane, toluene, MEK, acetone, […]
This metering skid was engineered to transfer glycol from rail cars with precise batch control and minimal operator intervention. Operators simply enter the desired transfer volume into the meter register and start the system. Once the programmed batch is complete, the valve closes automatically and the pump shuts down, ensuring accurate, repeatable transfers every time. […]

Recently, a chemical manufacturer reached out to us for a robust, reliable pumping solution.  Here’s what we delivered: Blackmer G1-32 Cast Iron Gear Pumps designed to handle demanding chemical applications, featuring steel internals and 2″ npt fittings on both inlet and discharge. Nord Gear Reducer paired with the pumps to ensure optimal performance and torque […]
A chemical manufacturing customer needed a solution for transferring chemicals within their facility, so we built this Blackmer SMVP Series sliding vane pump. The close-coupled mag-drive pump is made of stainless steel and powered by a WEG motor, mounted on a powder-coated steel double-bent base. We chose the Blackmer SMVP because the seal-less magnetic coupling provides […]
We just put the finishing touches on these sharp looking, Blackmer GNX3 Pump Stands designed for a chemical manufacturer to pump a variety of different chemicals. The stands consist of Blackmer GNX3 pumps with an integral Nord gear reducer and a WEG explosion proof motor mounted on a steel frame we fabricated at our facility […]
Here are four Blackmer pump skids we built for a customer in the chemical industry. The customer needed a solution to be able to pump chemical solvents at a controlled speed. The skids we built consist of a Blackmer Magnes Pump, a Nord Gear Reducer and a WEG explosion proof motor. The pictured skids are […]
A chemical manufacturer was looking for an efficient unit to pump chemical solvents that would align properly with the piping they had in place. The pictured assembly consists of a Blackmer Magnes pump coupled to a Nord gear reducer and 10 HP WEG explosion proof motor mounted on a custom fabricated powder coated frame. The […]
Here are Blackmer pump skids designed and built by our team for a chemical manufacturing company to pump solvents. The assemblies consist of Blackmer Magnes pumps coupled to Nord Gear reducers and WEG motors. The Nord Gear Reducer (between the WEG Motor and Blackmer Magnes pump) converts the high speed, low torque input from the […]
Pictured is a skid designed to transfer batches of Glycol off rail cars and into tanker trucks. To achieve this, a Blackmer MS3 Magnes pump was coupled to a Nord gearbox and a WEG 10 HP explosion proof motor. This assembly pumped the Glycol through an Endress Hauser ProMass Coriolis flow meter to totalize the […]
Commonly used in several industries, including adhesives, petroleum, cleansing/lubricating products, confectionary and more, internal gear pumps are one of the key pieces of industrial equipment in the production line. What is an internal gear pump and how does it work? What roles does it play in industry? The following article explores the intricacies of internal […]
Choosing the right positive displacement pump can be a challenging endeavor. A rotary vane pump maybe the right choice depending on the application, media and environmental circumstances. What are rotary vane pumps and how do they work? Check out the article below on the ins and outs of rotary vane pumps. What is a Rotary […]
Pictured is a Blackmer Gear G1-55 pump that was used for pumping a starch-based adhesive used in the manufacturing process of corrugated cardboard. The customer brought the pump in for a leaking seal. The seal unfortunately failed after pressures climbed above the seal’s operating pressure. The triple lip style cartridge seals used in this application […]
A customer brought us their Blackmer CRL4B Sliding Vane Pump used for pumping CO2, because they were not experiencing the longevity needed from their pump to fulfill application demands. The pump would work for a limited time and break down. The last repair shop the customer used to repair the pump did a number of […]
This mobile pump cart was designed for an adhesives manufacturer that needed to introduce additives and defoamer to an adhesive product. Due to systems already in place, the customer requested a mobile, turn-key solution that would offer minimal setup for integration. This assembly consisted of a Blackmer SX Series stainless steel vane pump coupled to […]
Pictured below is a large skid we developed. The skid features a 10’’ BLACKMER® HXL10 vane pump coupled to a 161 HP diesel motor through a Nord Parallel shaft gear reducer. The gear shaft reducer was selected to handle the intense force and pressure applied, as the unit would be pumping fuel oil at 1650 […]
We just designed and built two Blackmer SNP2 pump assemblies on wheels out of our Indianapolis location. These Stainless Steel Sliding Vane Pumps were built with Nord Gear Reducer’s and Baldor Motors. They were mounted on portable carts with polyurethane casters and fork pockets for easy of mobility. Our customer was looking for a portable […]
See the official PSG article here: Blackmer EMCO case Study – with images In 1967, after relocating to Chicago, IL, from Boston, MA, Edward Polen was working as a salesman for the Big Ben Chemical & Solution Co.
This animated video provides a virtual tour through a typical food processing facility and illustrates where Mouvex, Wilden, and other PSG pumps play a vital role in critical hygienic processing applications.
Grand Rapids, MI – In an effort to visually demonstrate how positive-displacement pumps that feature sliding-vane technology are able to capably handle liquids of varying viscosities, Blackmer has created a “Viscosity Video” for distributor use.
