Blackmer TXD3E Sliding Vane Pump – 3-Inch Cast Iron Pump with Top Outlet for Bulk Fuel & Solvent Transfer
The Blackmer TXD3E is a heavy-duty 3-inch sliding vane pump built for rapid and reliable fluid transfer in fuel delivery, fleet refuelling, and chemical transport operations. Designed with a double-ended drive shaft and top outlet configuration, this model delivers high flow rates and robust performance across a broad range of petroleum-based and industrial liquids.
Key Features
- 3" port with 90° top outlet – ideal for truck-mount applications requiring overhead piping
- Dual-ended drive shaft – supports both clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation
- Sliding vane pump technology – vanes self-adjust to maintain flow and reduce wear
- Self-priming and dry-run capable – suited for line-stripping, hose drainage, and product recovery
- Cast iron construction – durable and cost-effective for fuel and non-corrosive chemical applications
- External roller bearings – protected by mechanical seals for long service life
- Integral adjustable relief valve – provides overpressure protection
- Easy vane replacement – no need to remove pump from truck
