HXL Series
Shock-Resistant, Ductile Iron Pumps

HXL6 with motor

HXL8 cutaway

Design Features
The HXL pumps are constructed of ductile
iron (ASTM 536) that will withstand sudden
thermal shock and stress well beyond the
capabilities of cast iron. All models are
fitted with replaceable casing liners and
end discs that allow easy rebuilding of the
pump, without removing the pump from
the piping.
Models are available in 6, 8 and 10-inch
ANSI flanged port sizes with maximum
rated capacities of 755, 1,228 and 2,220
gpm (171, 279, 504 m3/h) respectively.
Standard elastomers include FKM O-rings.
Optional bolt-on relief valves designed to

protect the pump from excessive pressure

are available for all sizes. The HXLJ8 model
features jacketed heads for high viscous
and high temperature applications.
Base-mounted unit assemblies with
commercial gear reduction drives are
available for all HXL models. Consult
factory for details.

Benefits
Utilizing Blackmers unique sliding vane
design, these positive displacement rotary
pumps offer the best combined
characteristics of sustained high level
performance, energy efficiency, troublefree operation and low maintenance cost.

Applications
Blackmer HXL type pumps are commonly
used in refineries, terminal operations,
barge and ship loading, and off-loading
applications where self-priming and high
suction lift capabilities enable them to strip
lines clean.

* Approximate capacities and horsepower (hp) are for the conditions specified at 50 psi (3.45 bar) differential
pressure. Refer to performance curves for capacities and horsepower at other operating conditions.
** For viscosities 20,000 ssu (4,250 cSt) and higher, use metal vanes.
