SLIDING VANE PUMPS

NP Series Sliding Vane Pumps have
been designed to provide efficient transfer for
a wide variety of bulk-storage operations, in
applications such as loading and unloading,
transfer, mixing and blending. The NP Series
pumps can meet the needs of these demanding
applications because they have been designed
for the handling of clean, non-corrosive liquids
at varying temperatures, pressures and vis-
cosities. NP pumps offer maximum versatility
while sustaining a high-level of performance
and trouble-free operation. NP Series pumps
are available in five sizes, with port sizes from
1.5 to 4-inch. They feature flow rates from
5 to 500 gpm (19 to 1,893 lpm) at operating
temperatures up to 500°F (260°C). NP Series
pumps feature Blackmer's revolutionary
sliding-vane-technology principles, which
guarantee consistent volumetric-output per-
formance, even after significant in-service
time. This eliminates the efficiency-robbing
"slip" that shortens lobe and gear pump life,
and improves production yields by stripping
lines of residual product.

CIVACON OPTIC RACK MONITOR
MODEL 8130 FOR
BOTTOM & TOP LOADING
Well-suited for bottom-loading applications with
vehicles outfitted with Optic sensors, and also
suited for overfill protection while top-loading
railcars or tank trucks. Generates a unique,
pulsed — and intrinsically safe — electrical
signal that is transmitted to the sensors via a
coiled cord and optic-format plug. When sensors
on the transport are dry a signal is returned to
the monitor. If the signal meets pre-determined
characteristics the monitor goes to a "permis-
sive" state, which changes the status light on the
front of the 8100 Series Optic Rack Monitor from
red ("non-permissive") to green ("permissive").
If the sensor becomes wet, the relay is opened
and the status light changes from green to red
(non-permissive), shutting down the loading pro-
cess. The Model 8130 Optic Monitor with Ground
Verification includes displayed status of the optic
sensor ("permissive" or "non-permissive") and
mode of operation.

SCULLY GROUNDHOG
Don't let unsure grounding methods leave you
guessing. Transport vehicles should be properly
grounded before and during the loading opera-
tion. There should never be any doubt that the
grounding systems at your terminals are perform-
ing their proper function. Many systems give
you little assurance of their operation. The Scully
Groundhog gives you complete assurance that a
proper ground is present. The Scully Groundhog
is a self-proving grounding system that monitors
