The Allis Chalmers F4B3 is an extremely popular pump found in paper mills across the United States. This horizontal single stage pump is most commonly found in low pressure, high flow rate transfers involving low viscosity fluids such as water. These pumps have proven to be robust and reliable in paper mills.
Usually the F4B3 line is equipped with a labyrinth , however since most of these pumps are stationed in wet and steamy areas, the bearing housings has issues with water vapor ingress. Isomag bearing isolators are a positive seal and will hold oil in, and keep the external contaminates out of the bearing housing. Many customers from International Paper, West Rock, & Domtar Paper have found Isomag magnetic bearing seals to be their best solution for maintaining their maintenance lifetime goals.
