  • Peristaltic answer to caustic problems
    Positive displacement pumps are still the preferred choice for metering highly corrosive and caustic chemicals. However, when it comes to reducing life-cycle costs, Chuck Treutel, P. E, of the Watson-Marlow Pumps Group, argues that peristaltic pump technology has the advantage over diaphragm and progressive cavity types.

  • Using CFdesign to optimize performance
    A new CFdesign module, which facilitates carrying out multi-scenario design studies, has allowed Cornell Pump to spend more time on pump design, and much less time on expensive rework. CFD allows reliable simulation and optimization of the design, placement and performance of critical components, as this article shows.
  • Climate change, the water cycle and AC drives
    Climate change, increasing demands on water due to global urbanization and the legal obligations under the EUs Water Framework Directive are making the water sector an attractive place for technologies that can help reduce costs and contribute to reducing the effects of climate change. Here Heikki J. Kervinen of ABB discusses the influential role AC drives can play in meeting these challenges.

AxFlow King Cobra deals with aggressive media

24 February 2009

AxFlow has launched the King Cobra, a heavy duty peristaltic pump designed for abrasive, viscous and aggressive media.

 

The King Cobra is a cast iron and stainless steel hose pump which can handle fluids with a maximum viscosity of 40,000cP and flow rates up to 18.2m³/h. It offers a suction lift capability of up to 9m and is suitable for pressures of up to 15 bar.
 
The peristaltic pump is suitable for dosing applications where a higher discharge pressure is required. These include industrial and municipal water treatment, mining, filter press equipment, nuclear processing, paints and coatings, chemicals and food processing.
 
AxFlow’s King Cobra has a seal-free design which means that it has a run-dry capability and eliminates any potential leak points. The pump is available in sizes from 10mm to 65mm.
