Rotary Vane Fuel Pump

1. Product Overview

The YB-XX Series Rotary Sliding Vane Pumps (Blackmer Type) are widely recognized high-performance positive displacement pumps in the industrial fuel and chemical liquid transfer market. Featuring self-adjusting sliding vane technology, these pumps automatically compensate for wear during operation to maintain stable flow rates, offering excellent self-priming capabilities and dry-run performance.

Also referred to as industrial fuel pumps, Blackmer-type sliding vane pumps, rotary vane pumps, or self-adjusting vane pumps, the YB series is extensively used for fuel transfer in gas stations, aviation refueling, fleet mobile fueling, chemical liquid transfer, and biofuel distribution systems.

2. Key Models and Performance Features

YB-50 Rotary Sliding Vane Pump: 50mm inlet, flow rate 150–300 L/min, ideal for gasoline, diesel, and light chemical liquid transfer, commonly used in small gas stations and fuel storage areas.

YB-65 Rotary Sliding Vane Pump: 65mm inlet, flow rate 300–500 L/min, optional stainless steel construction, suitable for aviation fuel and corrosive liquids.

YB-80 Rotary Sliding Vane Pump: 80mm inlet, flow rate 600–1000 L/min, suitable for medium-flow fuel and chemical liquid transfer.

YB-100 Rotary Sliding Vane Pump: 100mm inlet, flow rate 1500–1900 L/min, designed for high-volume industrial fuel and chemical liquid delivery.

Materials can be customized to carbon steel with painted surface or stainless steel 304 with natural polished finish, meeting diverse fluid types, corrosive environments, and temperature requirements.

3. Structural Design and Installation Advantages

The YB-XX Series is designed for high performance and ease of maintenance:

Self-adjusting sliding vane design ensures long-term stable flow rates

Excellent self-priming performance eliminates costly priming systems

Extended dry-run capability allows continuous operation without damage

Vanes can be replaced easily without removing the pump from the piping system

High suction lift and line-stripping capabilities for complete tank and pipe emptying

Flexible handling of low to high viscosity fluids, eliminating the need for additional heating

Highly efficient design reduces motor power requirements, saving on electricity and initial costs

The pumps support flexible installation, either belt-driven or shaft-coupled, and can be integrated into mobile metering and dispensing units with flow meters, control panels, and hose reels to meet field refueling and precise metering requirements.

4. Mobile Fuel Unit and Metering Pump Integration

YB series pumps can be configured into mobile fuel dispensing units (MFD-XX Series), including:

YB-50 or YB-80 pumps with shaft-coupled motor drive

M-50C or M-50C PD flow meters with mechanical register

Custom mobile trailers or fixed mounting frames

Pump control cabinet

Optional hose reels for flexible fuel dispensing

Customers can specify fluid type, working pressure, operating temperature, and flow rate requirements to ensure mobile fuel units meet all operational and safety standards.
