Here at Verder we love pumps. So what better time to express our passion for manufacturing and supplying pumps to process engineers than Valentine’s Day? So without further ado, here are a few songs we would like to dedicate to some of our product crushes…
Verder loves pumpsI need a hero – Bonnie Tyler Click to here to have Bonnie sing to you! (YouTube link)
This ‘80s power ballad describes exactly how many of our clients feel when they require a structurally robust pump for harsh environments:
“Where’s the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
Isn’t there a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need!
I need a hero, I’m holding out for a hero till the end of the night
He’s gotta be strong, he’s gotta be fast and he’s gotta be fresh for the fight!”
Verderair Pure is the hero in white engineers were looking for. The pump is made from 100% Virgin Pure material, from one-piece solid and pure PE or PTFE. Verderair Pure is fresh and strong, ready to fight abrasive, hazardous, toxic, sludge or any other fluids, irrespective of their viscosity. As a result, it can be used in the harshest environments where other pumps dare not go!
Love me tender – Elvis (YouTube link)
Another product close to our hearts is Verderflex, comprising a peristaltic pump and tube pumps. The device is known for its characteristic gentle pumping action and is used for slurries, sludges and the dosing of chemicals. The fluid is moved by a rotor revolving in contact with a hose. This means that the fluid can be pumped gently using just one wearable part – and you can see them in action here. Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me goooo…
Let’s stay together – Al Green (YouTube link)
All relationships have that special something that keeps the couple as one. But if you have a tank containing a two different fluids that need to ‘stay together’, Verder’s Dynamic Mixer can help you achieve your objective. The Verdermix mixer constantly blends and circulates fluids so ‘deadspots’ in the tank can be avoided and maintains homogeneity.
Just like a marriage where the spouses have settled into their ways and their relationship has settled, the same happens to some types of fluids. However, the Dynamic Mixer prevents sedimentation and ensures Al Green’s words were written just for Verdermix…
You raise me up – Josh Groban (YouTube link)
We all need a bit of a lift every now and then, but in the waste water sector, Josh Groban’s lyrics gain a different meaning. The Verder S Self-prime is a centrifugal self-priming pump boasting a strong suction lift. As a result, it can pump water from below where it is installed. We never knew waste water engineers were such romantics!
Also used in mining and water management applications, the Verder S Self-prime pump can be relied upon to give fluids that much needed lift.
Up on the roof – The Drifters (YouTube link)
When the Drifters wrote Up on the roof, they must have had our booster sets in mind; a system of pumps equipped with a pressure monitor that maintains water pressure… up on the roof! The monitor assesses when the system is losing pressure and reacts by boosting it up!
So even if all of your neighbours decide to have a shower at 6:30, right before they go out for dinner on Valentine’s Day, you won’t be left high and dry under the tap. The booster sets are beneficial for apartment buildings, water treatment sites or any site where there are a high volume of water outlets.
Sugar Sugar – The Archies (YouTube link)
Finally, where would Valentine’s Day be without sugary heart shaped treats? Our rotary gear pump Verdergear is successfully used in the food industry to produce chocolates, sweets and bonbons! Verdergear is perfect for pumping syrups, sugar, sugar, honey honey… And we even sell chocolate specification built pumps! Ah, all the sweetness.
Have a great Valentine’s Day, from the team here at Verder!
