  • Jets for simplified cleaning operation
    Engine wash-unit manufacturer Harry Major Machine was on the lookout for a pump that could handle recycled water containing small particles. Following a series of tests, Hydra-Cell was able to demonstrate that its products could remove carbon deposits from crankshafts and combine high levels of performance with reduced running costs.
  • 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.
  • A brief history of pumps
    Ten years ago, World Pumps put together a brief history of the pump industry telling the story of pump development since the Egyptians invented the ‘shadoof’ in 200BC. We stopped then at 1999, but here we bring the story right up to date with some of the main industry events of recent times.
  • Load monitoring reduces downtime
    To reduce productivity losses caused by process equipment failure, a US specialty chemicals manufacturer has tried a number of monitoring technologies for its pumping systems. After installing shaft power monitors, the annual maintenance and downtime costs for three of its pumps were reduced to zero.

Addition to magnetic drive range

30 June 2009

Pulsafeeder, Inc has developed the Eclipse 125 for its non-metallic magnetically driven gear pumps range.

The Eclipse 125 has a wider drive gear, idler gear, and liner, making it easier to increase flow without overspeeding the pump. It is made of engineered fluoropolymer, carbon graphite, and graphite impregnated silicon carbide bearings making it suitable for corrosive fluid applications.

The non-metallic gear pump has only 16 parts that are self aligning and allow for easy maintenance and ease in ordering, the company says. The pump can be entirely serviced from the front and leakage is reduced.
