Abstract
Discharge apparatus for use with a pump the pump including a pump casing (32) and a discharge outlet (60). The apparatus comprises an adaptor (110) which includes a main body (112) which in use is operatively connected to the discharge outlet (60) and outlet pipework (200) through which material passes from the discharge outlet. The adaptor further includes a displacement device (132) operable to cause relative displacement of the adaptor body (112) and the discharge outlet (60).
Claims16
A discharge apparatus for use with a pump that includes a pump casing and a discharge outlet, the discharge apparatus comprising:
- an adaptor that includes a one piece main body that is arranged in use to be operatively connected to the discharge outlet of the pump and to outlet pipework through which material passes from the discharge outlet of the pump, the adaptor further including a displacement device operable to cause relative displacement of the adaptor body and the discharge outlet of the pump as a result of a reaction against the discharge outlet of the pump or the outlet pipework.
A discharge apparatus for use with a pump that includes a pump casing with at least two parts that are adapted to be secured together, the discharge apparatus comprising:
- an adaptor having an adaptor flange that is securable to a cooperating flange on each of the two pump casing parts, wherein the adaptor flange includes a first flange section that can be secured to the cooperating flange on one casing part, and a second flange section that can be secured to the cooperating flange on the other casing part, the second flange section and the cooperating flange on the other casing part being inclined with respect to the first flange section.
A discharge apparatus for use with a pump that includes a pump casing and a discharge outlet, the discharge apparatus comprising:
- an adaptor that includes a main body that is arranged in use to be operatively connected to the discharge outlet of the pump and to outlet pipework through which material passes from the discharge outlet of the pump, the adaptor further including a displacement device operable to cause relative displacement of the adaptor body and the discharge outlet of the pump, the displacement device comprising a jack device operable to cause the relative displacement between the discharge outlet of the pump and the main body of the adaptor, the jack device comprising one or more jacking bolts having a threaded shank and a head, the threaded shank being received within a threaded aperture in the adaptor body, a free end of the shank acting against the discharge outlet of the pump or the adaptor, so that rotation of one or more of the jacking bolts in one direction causes the relative displacement between the adaptor body and the discharge outlet of the pump.
