What Makes Patriot Different?
The quality of the pumping system itself is another variable that will become more important as the industry moves forward. In an increasing effort to find new ways of lowering production costs, customers will begin demanding systems that will run and last longer. Precision machining of all system components by expert machinists, adds to the precision of Patriot™ – making it a system constructed to last.
Fluid Section
The displacement rod on Patriot™ is deep induction heat hardened, and then coated with a thick hard chrome layer to increase the wear characteristics of the system, allowing it to run for longer periods.
The M.V.P. Advanced Design Group has also developed a unique “self-healing” seal with the lowest coefficients of friction available today. This seal, in both the resin and catalyst pumps, does not require packing adjustments, and greatly reduces the problems associated with heat build-up and wear.
M.V.P. also offers the option of a Tuff Coat ceramic coated displacement shaft that takes wear to an all time low.
Catalyst Pump
The Catalyst Pump on Patriot™ was redesigned to be more efficient and durable. In addition to the new self-healing seal, the new Catalyst Pump features a new soft stop inlet valve which allows for a positive seating surface with a “stop” feature to maintain consistent flow and reduce inlet ball wear, no packing adjustments are necessary, the seals are pre-loaded, and, as with all M.V.P. Catalyst Pumps, it is fully passivated to increase durability.
Powerhead
Powering Patriot™ is the Powerslide Powerhead. Designed to meet market demand to reliably deliver smooth power at low pressures, the M.V.P. Powerslide Powerhead is available in five diameters:
3.25" PAT-PH-3250
4.25" PAT-PH-4250
5" PAT-PH-5000
7" PAT-PH-7000
10" PAT-PH-1000
With these sizes, Patriot™ is able to fit virtually any application process, and has been engineered with interchangeable parts for easy ratio changes. In addition, the shaft in the Powerslide have been encoded for easy adaptation when monitoring is required.
The M.V.P. Powerslide Powerhead is truly the heart of the M.V.P. Pumping System. Innovative features include:
- A pilot valve operated by line pressure - allows for quick response shifting
- Modular components - disassembly and re-assembly
- Rapid Access Design (R.A.D.) for quick
These innovations are the driving forces behind the growing demand for the Powerslide Powerhead. In addition, the streamlined design has fewer parts than any powerhead currently available, giving Powerslide users the edge in lower maintenance costs.
Design Options
Another optional feature offered with Patriot™ is an enclosed cabinet design. This design makes monitoring the system more efficient with all of the gauges in one place, and the need for maintenance is reduced as less dirt and other contaminants common to most operations that often get into the system.
