BX5000 Filter System
The BX5000 provides a maximum flow rate of 5000 gallons (19,000 liters) per hour. Use it stationary on one tank or move it from tank to tank. Multiple body lengths (8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18 and 20") enable use of the BX5000 in tanks with varying solution levels and depths.
   The BX5000 comes complete, preassembled, ready to operate and includes the items shown in the labeled photo (right). For best results in most metal finishing solutions, use the BX5000 with our Permacore Magnum (PMCA) reusable or FK50 Poly-Spun Disposable filter cartridges in the appropriate length.


BX5000 Specifications
Pump: Available in CPVC, polypropylene, PVDF (Kynar), and stainless steel (see Bulletin 23.5) as pump materials of construction. Standard shaft is made of Teflon-covered 303 stainless steel. A titanium-tip or Hastelloy-276C-alloy-tip shaft is available on special-order basis. 
Flow Rate: 5000 gallons (19,000 liters) per hour at 60 Hz. A flow-rate reduction of about 18% is typical when operating at 50 Hz.
Pressure: 27 feet (8.2 meters) of head pressure.
Weight: About 29 pounds (13 kg) in CPVC, depending on pump body length
Motor: Epoxy coated, TEFC, Thermally Protected. Select from the following motors:
(1) Single phase, 3/4 HP (560 watt), 115/230 V, 9.6/4.8 A, 60 Hz, 3450 RPM
(2) Single phase, 3/4 HP (560 watt), 110/220 V, 9.2/4.6 A, 50 Hz, 2850 rpm
(3) Three phase, 1 HP (760 watt), 220/460 V, 3.0/1.5 A, 60 Hz, 3450 RPM. (Note: There is an additional charge for three-phase motors).
Important: To ensure priming and proper operation of BX5000, solution should be 4" (10 cm) or more above Weep Hole on pump body. Specify length of pump body when ordering. (Note: Impeller is located just beneath Weep Hole and must be submerged in solution for pump to operate.)

BX5000 Dimensions
To determine the pump-body length, measure the "A" Dimension (from the bottom of the Motor Base, where the pump is mounted on the tank, to the center of the pump discharge port, where solution is expelled from the pump).
