  • HP pumps crucial to glass container process
    High-pressure pumps supplying de-mineralized water through diaphragm heads, with plunger heads providing the coating agent, is the successful solution for a new centralized cold-end glass coating system. Bran+Luebbe GmbH's Matthias Kunert reports on this process, made possible by using a flexible building block approach to horizontal or vertical multi-headed pump design.
  • System transportation in a compact package
    A crude oil processing vessel off the Norwegian coast required high-pressure pumps to extract natural gas. The expense of the limited floor space onboard was combated by shipping very compact monoblock diaphragm pumps. With the help of a police escort the packaging units were successfully delivered, allowing for increased productivity onboard.
  • Managing abrasive lime in a distillery
    The pumps in a Scottish distillery were struggling to cope with the abrasive lime used for dosing. A peristaltic hose pump was selected for its abrasion resistance and ability to ensure the smooth passage of the liquid, regardless of its viscosity. Since its installation, costs and downtime have decreased.
  • Dosing pumps for sealing compounds
    The additives present in many modern sealing compounds, can be quite abrasive, and finding a dosing pump that can handle them without problems is more of a challenge than it used to be. However, there are reliable non-damaging solutions using a range of pump types.

Lewa develops compact diaphragm metering pump range

02 July 2010

Ecosmart ia a compact diaphragm metering pump range which uses variable eccentric drive.

The different stroke frequencies of the drives allow adaptation to diverse fluids and process requirements. Lewa's Ecosmart pump is also the most compact metering pump with this performance. The pump from is suitable for pressures up to 80 bar and flow rates up to 300 l/h at temperatures up to 120°C. The pumps feature suction pressure down to 0.1 bar abs and feature three phase and AC motors standard drives according to IEC and NEMA. Frequency control for speed adjustment is also possible.

The design includes a PTFE sandwich diaphragm with diaphragm monitoring, a diaphragm protection system (DPS) and optimized check valves. An individually adjustable pressure relief valve prevents potential overload situations of the pump.

LEWA ecosmart complies with API 675 (American Petroleum Institute). The diaphragm metering pumps are suitable for water treatment in power plants, metering of additives in industrial water processing, pH adjustment, dosing of solvents in the chemical industry, feeding of corrosion inhibitors, dosing of colourants and flavours in the food industry, additive metering in the plastics industry and injection of chemicals in the oil & gas industry. Individual configurations are optionally possible, such as offshore paint, material test certificates or testing according to API.
