  • 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.
  • Control crucial to copper rod quality
    Dieter Klefoth and Stefan Seemer look at a demand-based speed-controlled pump system. This, with new submersible pumps together with state-of-the-art control systems, has been instrumental in lowering the power consumption and raising the reliability and quality of a copper wire manufacturing process in Germany.
  • On demand district heating cuts costs
    Refurbishing an ageing district heating system in Constanta, Romania using new hot-water recirculation pumps, associated variable speed drives and other controls in a demand-based arrangement, has resulted in an improved supply quality, plus an optimized, energy-efficient operation – all with greater reliability.
  • Blackmer XLW Series of sliding vane pumps for liquids with suspended particles
    Designed to handle suspensions up to 250 microns and 25% concentration, such as oxide primers, inks, paints and adhesives, the XLW series of sliding vane particles from Blackmer offer energy efficiency with low lifecycle costs
  • 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.

Almatec E-Series AODD pumps offer increased energy efficiency

15 October 2009

Almatec, part of Dover Corp’s Pump Solutions Group (PSG), has created its new E-Series air-operated double-diaphragm plastic pump line with improved energy efficiency and performance in mind.

Tests show that the Almatec E-Series pumps are capable of producing a flow rate up to 28% higher than legacy model pumps, and that they consume up to 15% less air. This results in increased pump efficiency, lower energy costs and improved overall performance.

The E-Series pumps are the next generation version of Almatec’s proven A-Series, and are suitable for applications in the chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, ceramics, power plants, refineries, water & wastewater processing, paper, electronics, solar, surface treatment and emergency services industries.

E-Series housings are available in PE, PE conductive, PTFE and PTFE conductive while diaphragms are available in EPDM or PTFE. Ball valves are available in EPDM, PTFE or stainless steel and the cylinder valves are constructed of PTFE. The E-Series pumps are self-priming and provide gentle displacement of fluids. E-Series pumps are available in seven sizes, from the 15-lpm (4-gpm) E08 to the 800-lpm (210-gpm) E80.
