Shin Etsu Partners with VERDER

Specialist pumping solutions supplier VERDER, is pleased to announce that following extensive trials at Shin Etsu’s Livingston manufacturing facility in Scotland, the world leaders in Silicon wafer manufacture has selected the new VERDER Dura 25 peristaltic pump. The Dura pump provides a 100% increase in hose life expectancy against Shin Etsu’s previous solution and enables it to realise a return on investment within just a year of the pump’s installation.

“The pumps are handling a highly aggressive Silicon Carbide slurry which forms a key part of Shin Etsu’s manufacturing process,” explains Craig Bolling, VERDER’s Regional Sales Engineer for Scotland. “Working with the client VERDER was able to deliver a solution that will enable Shin Etsu to continue competing in an increasingly competitive market place.”

Robert Fraser, Plant Service Engineering Senior Supervisor of Shin Etsu comments: “Shin Etsu decided to switch to VERDER for its pumping solutions because our previous system included diaphragm pumps which are harder to maintain. VERDER offered us a solution that was much easier to maintain and provided a good return on investment.”

“By working closely with our customers we endeavour to bring technologically advanced solutions to market to allow them to minimise whole lifetime cycle costs of the pump,” concludes Craig. “That’s why we developed the VERDER Dura pump, the biggest step forward in peristaltic pumping – to deliver outstanding performance and provide its owners with unparalleled reliability.”
