Many of Cat Pumps smaller high-pressure pumps can now be mounted directly onto standard European electric motors using their specially made bell housings and couplings. These pumps can then be direct-driven at motor shaft speed, providing a compact, reliable and efficient installation.
AxFlow is now distributing Pump Solutions Group™ (PSG) new design of seal-less pump, the EnviroGear®.
The EnviroGear is a durable, environmentally friendly positive displacement gear pump developed to compete where other seal-less (mag-drive) internal gear pumps cannot. Neither a standard magnetically coupled/ mechanically sealed, nor a traditional internal gear pump, EnviroGear is a reinvention of internal gear pump technology and is designed for the environmentally safe handling of both thin and hard-to-seal viscous liquids.
A Flexicon FF20 automatic vial/bottle filling system in combination with a 520Di benchtop dispensing pump – both supplied by Watson-Marlow Pumps Group – has helped a leading laparoscopy device manufacturer switch from outsourced supply to in-house production of a fog-free solution used on endoscope lenses. The product prevents the formation of condensation on the distal lens when inside the patient.
For applications where it is necessary to heat the process fluid before start-up, Viking Pumps now provide the option of electric heating as an alternative to their pumps with jackets, which are heated by the more traditional methods of steam or hot oil. Available on their Universal Seal cast iron gear pumps with flow rates up to 155 m3/hr, the electrically heated option will suit applications where steam or hot oil is not available or where it’s impractical to install long pipe runs.
There is now less than a year to go to the 1st January 2013 EuP/ErP deadline that will change the standalone circulator market in Europe forever. This EU Directive on energy using products (EuPs) sets strict new requirements for energy efficiency that includes domestic and light commercial circulator pumps.
At Grundfos we place great importance on our relationship with our customer base and we strive to offer support in a variety of ways – including offering relevant and focussed training opportunities.
The Grundfos RC pump is the world’s first pump that has been designed and specially optimised for use with CO2 refrigerant. It uses about a third of the energy that standard centrifugal pumps normally use in the same circumstances. This is achieved through utilising variable speed capacity control and the use of intelligent pump protection that reduced the energy consumption of the pump considerably compared to traditional installations.
A 520 DuN/REM high pressure peristaltic pump from Watson-Marlow Pumps Group has met the immediate needs of three chemical dosing schemes implemented recently at various Severn Trent Water facilities. Deployed as part of a temporary dosing rig constructed by engineering group, Costain, the pump’s success is helping to pave the way for future consideration of peristaltic technology. Severn Trent’s historical preference has been to use conventional metering pumps.
Flygt Rental, with its head office in Nottingham, has added Godwin Pumps to its range of rental pumping equipment.
Customers will now have access to Godwin’s range of automatic self-priming pumps as part of a wider offering which will now accompany the existing choice of Flygt products.
T-T recently supplied a multistage booster set (Hidroboost) to a local cattle market for their wash down requirements of the market and vehicles.
The Cheshire based company who specialise in the design, manufacture, supply and installation of agricultural products and systems, supplied Chris Evans Farm Services with a dual vertical multistage stainless steel pump system, for the Barbers Cattle Market in Shropshire.
Metallized Carbon Corporation, a global leader in the manufacture of oil-free, self-lubricating, carbon-graphite materials for severe service lubrication applications, announces the availability of custom vanes, rotors, and end plates for use in rotary vane pumps pumping both liquids and gases. The carbon-graphite components provide superior lubrication in most environments, and are ideal for pumping liquids with poor lubricating qualities, strong chemicals that attack metals, and to pump air, vacuum, combustion products and gasoline vapors.
