feeding

Iwaki's systematic LK series metering pump consists of the worm gear type dual-
cam driving section, which is compact yet rigid and reliable, and wet-end materials
of which there are seven types for various applications.
With long and market-proven experience, Iwaki has employed state-of-the-art pump
technologies in the development of an ideal type of chemical feeding pump which
has advantages such as quality, performance, ease of operation and cost
efficiency.
The LK series is suitable for many chemical liquid feeding processes used in a wide
range of fields, including water treatment, chemicals, fabrics, paper mill, food
processing, and medicine.

Various types and materials


Nine types (IWAKI original motor) and eight general purpose motor types are
available to suit each user's needs in accordance with feeding rate from small to
large capacity. Also, material variation has been improved. Selection of the pump
material most suitable for the applied liquid is possible with seven different types
available.

High performance and application-oriented versatile design


Discharge accuracy (stability) is within ±2% FS. Reliability is considerably
enhanced through efforts to improve the linearity of the stroke / discharge ratio as
well as the dispersion between stroke.
Three types of joints flange, hose and union joints are standardized for the
connections. The optimum piping system can be selected. (Only with 0.2kW IWAKI

Metering pumps

Points to be observed in pump installation and piping


Iwaki metering pump LK series are reciprocating pumps employing the eccentric cam system.
Reciprocating pumps generate pulsation in the suction and discharge piping. Special consideration,
(different from the ordinary centrifugal pumps), should be given to this point when planning the pump installation and piping.

• Prevention of pipe vibration • Prevention of overfeeding • Prevention of suction failure


Discharge side inertial resistance Pid < 0.1MPa Pump differential pressure > Inertial resistance Pi NPSHa > NPSHr
• Pid : Inertial resistance on discharge side • The larger one of the suction side or the discharge side NPSHa = Pa - Pv ± Phs - Pis * MPa
*Or Pfs : whichever is the larger.
Inertial resistance means the pulsated impact Overfeeding means excessive flow of the liquid due

Inverter control of LK series


In case of inverter-applied control of the discharge, the control range may be different according to the types or the pressure employed.

Note 1: The capacity is the value when the maximum discharge pressure is applied in each type (with pure water at room temperature)
Note 2: With the LK-F type, a larger control range than 1 : 10 is available. In this case, however, the discharge accuracy and the linearity may be affected due to a stroke speed as low as 15 spm.
Note 3: The standard inverter is the Toshiba VF motor. In case of another motor used, most of the date in this list can still be used. To be sure, please contact your distributor in advance.
An inverter control with an ordinary general-purpose motor should not be employed, because it may result in trouble in trouble in the low speed range.
