These new laboratory mixers go digital

The new generation L5 Series laboratory mixers (photo) offer a high level of instrumentation and automation via a digital touchscreen. Functions include a programmable timer, infinitely variable speed control with "speedlock", an integral ammeter and digital tachometer. In addition to…

Injection molding makes ceramic components for pumps

This ceramic-injection-molding company is able to provide solutions to wear, corrosion and temperature issues in existing parts and for new developments. The firm’s technical ceramics have very high chemical resistance and high hardness (>1.500 HV); issues with wear and corrosion…

A breakthrough in precision gear pump design

Gear pumps have, for many years, offered pulse-free flow for a wide range of pressure and viscosity conditions, but in some cases, even the precision gear pump could not meet the pressure requirement of an application due to relatively low…

Vane pump offers extended bearing life, lower energy costs

ProVane Motor Speed Vane Pumps (photo) rely on a Hydrodynamic Journal Bearing feature to eliminate shaft-to-bearing contact by hydroplaning above the bearing surface on a cushion of liquid. In this hydrodynamic condition there is no metal-to-metal contact or wear, and…

New features for this mag-drive pump

Three years after its initial launch, the Monsun magnetically coupled pump (photo) that was on display at Achema 2009 has new features. For example, the rotor is designed completely without static seals, thereby reducing the static seals from four to…

A valve control system with onboard diagnostics capability

The Axiom valve control system now offers an on-board diagnostics ability to predict potential problems in automated valves, thereby reducing process downtime and maintenance costs. The system can sound local and remote alerts for such occurances as a jammed valve…

Transfer flammable liquids safely with this pump

The SCP-6500 (available March 1, 2010) is designed to accommodate the transfer of alcohols, volatile hydrocarbons and flammable solvents. The pump features a lug with a grounding wire to allow users of flammable liquids to ground it, making the pump…

Kaeser Compressors

Kaeser Compressors Vacuum systems in the Com-pak Plus blower series (photo) are positive displacement, tri-lobe blower packages that provide consistent, reliable vacuum. They feature heavy-duty construction and low noise levels. The Com-pak Plus Series delivers flows to 3,305 ft3/min and…

Use this pump to evacuate liquid storage terminals

Blackmer Pump HXL sliding vane pumps (photo) are designed specifically to rapidly and efficiently evacuate product from large liquid storage terminals, enabling fast product changes that react to market opportunities. The pumps can handle large volumes of a wide range…

This pump is ideal for corrosive, abrasive, solid and fibrous materials

The open impeller design of 811 ANSI Series pumps (photo) provides performance advantages during the pumping of demanding chemical process fluids. For instance, the open impeller minimizes concentrated wear by balancing the hydraulic axial thrust load. It also reduces stuffing-box…
