Vanes - Import export

The guide vanes control the inflow of water in turbines. These vanes run in sliding bearings. To give the bearings longer term protection from water infiltration, the inner sealing MANOY® system seal WP, type 428, was developed for standard specifications. Type 487 with integral scraper was designed for high specifications due to abrasive constituents in the water and/or long inspection intervals. The housing for this seal must be open. The profile dimensions of both versions can be customized to adapt to existing groove designs.

The lubricant-free drive of this grinding spindle based on a vane motor is unique and patented. Its great advantage: It provides the high performance of a vane motor and can still work completely lubrication-free. This model includes the BIAX hose unit with silencer.

The flow of cooling water can be checked at a glance.

Proven in over 30 years of field operation, Waukee brand compressors are designed to be easy to maintain and service. This means that downtime is kept to a minimum. Features include simple design with few moving parts, rotary vane constructions, and built-in automatic closed-circuit unloader in which gas not needed is recirculated within the compressor. (Depending on pressure and flow rates, a bypass regulator may be used instead.) The 6-vane rotor is supported at both ends by factory sealed and lubricated ball bearings. Operation is relatively quiet. There are no gears, springs, or metal contacts. The low-friction vanes slide in and out of the rotor slots centrifugally. Capacity: The Waukee Rotary Vane Compressors can be provided from 200 cfh (5.6 cm/h) to 8,000 cfh (226 cm/h) at pressures up to 3 psig (20.68 kPa) on standard models.
