  • Energy savings for hydraulic systems
    A European steel manufacturer wanted to see how significant energy savings could be achieved in its hydraulic systems. Tests were carried out to establish if a drive would be a viable option for controlling energy consumption. When an ABB industrial drive was installed on a hydraulic pump, a 70% energy saving was successfully reached.
  • 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.
  • Process Industry: Automation and communication
    Comprehensive and interrelated communication between the field units and a central control station is indispensable in the modern process industry. This is particularly so where many pumps are performing delicate and accurate operations. Ralph Held, director of engineering and product management of sera at Seybert & Rahier GmbH discusses how a new generation of diaphragm dosing pumps lends itself to automation.
  • 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.
  • Energy savings in pump systems
    In this third in a series of articles on energy savings in pumps, Hans Vogelesang of PumpSupport considers the factors that should be borne in mind when designing piping systems. Many issues should be examined to ensure that a system will operate in an energy-efficient manner, both at design capacity and at partial load.

Larox Flowsys introduces lower cost model

29 April 2009

Larox Flowsys has introduced a new basic lower-cost version of its LPP-M pump.

 

According to Larox Flowsys, while the existing version offers multiple automatic input/output control and alarm modes, the new basic version will have only single manual output control mode. Technical features such as the flow rate, pressure and suction lift remain, but the facility to programme remote adjustment and different feedback signals are omitted from the basic model.
Larox Flowsys says that the basic version - LPP-M2-B - will be more economical than the ‘smart’ LPP-M2-S version and is ideal for processes that have their own control centre and do not need a separate one in each pump.
The Larox Flowsys range consists of LPP-T (transferring) pumps with a flow rate of 0.22-40 m3/h, LPP-D (dosing) pumps with flow rates of 0.06-2 m3/h, and LPP-M pumps with a flow rate range of 0.23-126 l/h. Larox Flowsys adds that its pumps provide low life-cycle costs because they have low energy requirements. They are also easy and quick to maintain and the only part that wears, the hose, has a long service life.
