The Model 3500XD X-Ducer medium-consistency paper-pulp pump features a patented air-separation device that agitates paper pulp to assist flow into the pump inlet, while separating air from the water and fibers. The pump achieves lower operating costs and smaller motor sizes by increasing efficiency by 5–8% and enabling the pumping of medium-consistency pulp up to 10% without the use of a vacuum pump. Also, the head generation has increased, typically by 5%. The Model 3500XD uses the manufacturer’s inducer technology and can be retrofitted in the field
