Abstract:
1. A knockdown pump containment assembly adapted for communication with a stator having a rotor disposed therein, the pump containment assembly comprising: a pump housing defining a containment chamber for receiving, containing and directing the flow of a liquid material, the pump housing having an inlet port disposed for directing a flow of liquid material into the containment chamber, and an exit port for directing a flow of liquid material out of the containment chamber, into a stator, wherein the containment chamber of the pump housing is adapted to receive a drive shaft assembly therein; a pump housing base for releasably receiving and supporting the pump housing; a pump housing retainer releasably engagable with the pump housing base to releasably secure the pump housing to the pump housing base; the pump housing base further comprising a coupling seat, and a base frame that extends outward from the coupling seat, to a retainer mounting portion thereof that receives and releasably fixes the pump housing retainer to the pump housing base so that the pump housing is releasably secured to the pump housing base between the coupling seat and the pump housing retainer; and means for fixing the alignment of the pump housing within the pump housing base.
