Simple to service...
The Coro-Flo pump has been designed for simplicity of inspection and service. The cover can be removed and the impeller and seal serviced without disturbing the piping. The balanced mechanical seal is furnished with its own sleeve, providing extremely reliable service.
Applications...
Although the Corken Coro-Flo pump was originally developed to fill propane cylinders, it has found its way into many other applications, especially where volatile liquid transfer is involved. It is commonly used to feed industrial vaporizing and aerosol filling systems, and to transfer liquefied gases like NH3, CO2, SO2 and refrigerant gases. In process plants, the Coro-Flo pump is used as a boiler feed pump and for handling condensate. Every Corken Coro-Flo pump is thoroughly inspected and tested to assure its quality and performance. The Coro-Flo pump is listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. for use in LP-Gas and anhydrous ammonia service.
Free-floating impeller design: No metal-to-metal contact for longer pump life.

Applications...
Typical applications include cylinder filling, loading and unloading of bulk trucks and transport trailers. Some Coro-Vane pump models come with an internal relief valve for added pump protection, relieving the pressure from the pump discharge back to the suction. All pumps must have an external bypass valve to comply with NFPA & UL code requirements.
Positive displacement...
Coro-Vane pumps are positive displacement pumps. They produce up to a maximum differential pressure of 125 psig (8.6 bar g). Corken manufactures five sizes of Coro-Vane pumps, ranging from 1 gpm to 350 gpm (0.2 to 79.5 m3/hr) with v-belt and direct-drive mounting options.
Precision-machined sideplates and liners (cam): Maximize pumping capacity and are easily replaced.

Self-lubricating PTFE piston rings: Corken provides a variety of state-of-the-art piston ring designs to provide the most cost-effective operation of compressors for non-lube service. The step-cut design provides higher efficiencies during the entire life of the piston ring. Positively locked piston: Simple piston design allows end clearance to be precisely set to provide maximum efficiency and long life.
Self-lubricating piston rod seals: Seals constructed of PTFE incorporating special fillers to ensure no oil carry over and maximize leakage control. Spring loaded seal design self adjusts to compensate for normal wear. Nitride-coated piston rods: Impregnated nitride coating provides superior corrosion and wear resistance. Cast-iron crosshead: Durable cast-iron crossheads provide superior resistance to corrosion and galling. Pressure-lubricated crankcase with filter: Self-reversing oil pump ensures proper lubrication regardless of directional rotation to main and connecting rod bearings. Standard 10-micron filter ensures long-lasting bearing life (not available on Model 91).

Serviceability...
Corken compressors are designed to minimize required maintenance and make such maintenance extremely simple. Maintenance operations such as valve replacement may be accomplished without disturbing the piping, while ring replacement may be accomplished simply by removing the head.
Versatility...
Corken compressors are designed for use with maximum versatility. The same compressor installed for one application can easily be piped to be utilized for other plant applications. For example, a rail carunloading compressor can also be utilized to load and unload trucks.
Model 491

Water-cooled cylinders...
To increase the versatility of the horizontal compressor, Corken offers water-cooled cylinders in the 8" (203.2 mm), 6" 152.4 mm), 4" (101.6 mm) and 3-1/4" (82.6 mm) bore sizes. Water-cooled cylinders greatly reduce the operating temperature which increases the valve, piston ring, and seal life in the most difficult applications.
Model 601
16
In addition to the flexibility of reconfiguring the stages and number of cylinders, the capacity may be controlled through the blank valve option, which changes the cylinder to single acting.
Materials...
The horizontal compressor line offers many optional materials for parts such as gaskets, piston rings, o-rings, pistons and more. This allows the compressor to be used with a variety of gases. The MC1002 corrosion-resistant coating is also available for all parts that come in contact with the gas.
Engineered packages...
Custom-engineered skid-mounted units can be supplied with control panels, wiring, pulsation dampeners, receiver tanks and other special accessories as required.
17
Scavenger applications...
Corken has a variety of standard scavenger packages available, depending on the customers requirements. For maintenance purposes, scavengers can be sized for small-cylinder to large-tank evacuation systems. Corken will assist in custom engineering your scavenger systems for your specific application.
