Blackmer® TX Series |
Truck-Mounted Sliding Vane Pumps

Blackmer TX Series Truck-Mounted Sliding Vane Pumps

are the optimal solution for the fast and quiet fluid transfer
applications on trucks and tankers.

TX Series Sliding Vane Pumps are available in several models

with 1.5" to 4" port sizes and flow rates of 5 to 505 gpm
(19 - 1,911 L/m) – depending on the product – to handle
gasoline, diesels, lube oils, solvents, glycol, ethanol, jet fuel,
aviation fuels, aromatics and more.

With the sliding vane design, Blackmer TX Series Pumps are

self-priming and capable of extended dry run, better product
TXD recovery and line-stripping. These multifaceted capabilities
allow the TX Series Sliding Vane Pumps to stand apart
from other truck-mounted pump technologies with an ideal
combination of high performance, safety, reliability and low
maintenance.

All TX Series models are purpose-built for efficient, trouble-

free performance in applications such as:

• Petro Chemicals
• Gasoline
• Aviation Fuels
• Diesels
TXDI • Solvents
• Lube Oils
• Glycol
• Biofuels
• Aromatics
• Jet Fuel and More

Blackmer® TX Series | Mounting, Installation and Accessories

Truck Mounting
TX Series Sliding Vane Pumps can be bolted to the truck
on a saddle hung below the frame with adequate support.
Mounting the pump with the cylinder feet down, or with the
intake port up is recommended for thorough draining.

Hydraulic Drive
With use of a Blackmer hydraulic motor adapter, all TX Series Pumps
can be driven hydraulically. The close-coupled hydraulic motor
adapter provides for alignment of an SAE, 2 bolt flanged hydraulic
motor with a straight keyed shaft. The coupling connection requires
grease lubrication every three months at minimum. Blackmer does not
provide hydraulic motors.
Note: A Drive Shaft Guard Between the Pump and
PTO Must Be Provided (Not Shown)

PTO Drive
A power take-off (PTO) through universal joints powers the pump.
A properly lubricated splined slip joint must be used on the
jackshaft to prevent end thrust on the pump shaft.

Related Parts and Accessories

Several related Blackmer parts are available to enhance performance,
and are engineered to work with various TX Series Sliding Vane Pumps.

T-Type Strainer – Designed for direct mounting on the inlet side of

Blackmer truck-mounted pumps. Available in 2", 2.5" and 3" sizes.

Air Valve – Blackmer offers diaphragm air valves (AVA) and piston
air valves (AVC). These air valves bring increased ease to fluid
deliveries. These two-stage valves are actuated by a flow sensing
pilot valve (air or electric), which actuates when the hose nozzle is
open and fluid is flowing. This permits full capacity operation of the
pump. When the hose nozzle is closed and flow is stopped, the flow
sensing pilot valve relieves the actuating pressure, automatically
changing the pump into low pressure bypass. Low pressure bypass
is helpful during deliveries, because it makes the delivery hose more
agile and easier for the truck driver to manipulate.

Blackmer® TX Series | Benefits of Sliding Vane Pumps

Reliable. Durable. Safe. Efficient.

The advent of sliding vane pumps has been a gamechanger in fluid-transfer applications. These positive
displacement pumps are self-priming with extended dry-run capability and feature the best combined characteristics
of energy efficiency, trouble-free operation and low maintenance.

Advantages Of Sliding Vane Technology:

• Unique design self-adjusts for wear to • High suction lift abilities that exceed 25 feet
maintain flow rates (7.6 meters)
• Self-priming, eliminates expensive priming • Line-stripping capabilities to completely empty
systems tanks and piping of fluid
• Extended dry-run capability • Pumps are renewable and repairable
• Design provides sustained performance and • Solids handling
trouble-free operation • Thin to thick fluid viscosity flexibility, eliminates
• Easy maintenance. Vanes can be replaced expensive heating systems
without removing the pump • Efficient, requiring less horsepower and
electricity to power the pump
