  • 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.

Pro Cam positive displacement pump

24 February 2009

SPX has launched a new positive displacement pump in its ProCam range - the ProCam Smart.

 

The ProCam Smart is a hermetically closed pump containing a mechanically operated PTFE double diaphragm arrangement. The positive displacement pump is available in four models offering flow rates ranging from 5l/h to 500l/h and is suitable for pressures up to 20 bar. The ProCam is designed for a wide range of general purpose metering duties where both non-hazardous and hazardous liquids are to be handled and uses standard components throughout.

All wetted components are made from stainless steel and the pump’s cast iron gear box contains a splash lubricated integrated worm wheel/shaft reduction gear type constructed from metallic components
