The Roper 3217CPTHBF-1 Rockworx pump is a patent-pending positive displacement pump with 17 gallons per 100 revolutions displacement and maximum flow rate of 85 GPM. Designed for handling viscous fluids containing solids up to 3/8 inches diameter, this model features wing-style lobes with cast iron construction, tungsten carbide bushings for superior durability, and triple lip seal with packing backup for enhanced sealing performance. The pump includes an outboard ball bearing for protection against radial and thrust loads, with flanged ports for secure connections. Engineered for lower-shear flow compared to traditional gear pumps, this Rockworx model handles challenging applications including mastic, asphalts, and abrasive fluids while maintaining reliable operation.
