Eccentric disc pumps compensate for mechanical wear

On display for the first time at Achema 2009, last month, SLC-Series eccentric disc pumps (pohto) offer lower ongoing operations and maintenance costs in the transfer of various chemicals due to superior volumetric efficiencies. Unlike gear and lobe pumps that…

Dual sensors for manual valves

This firms dual sensor (photo) can now be used on hand-operated valves for transmitting the valves position. This is possible thanks to new, stainless-steel mounting brackets, which are easily mounted on the valve with two screws and attached to the…

This valve is designed for slurries and corrosives.

The Series 75 pinch valve is designed to alleviate difficulties associated with ball and plug valves in applications involving tough slurries, and abrasive or corrosive chemicals. Its full port design eliminates dead spots, crevices, seats and bearings. The pinch valve…

This mixer is available in a wide size range

Charles Ross and Son The VersaMix Model VMC (photo)is offered in sizes ranging from 1– to 750–gal working capacity. The model has an air/oil lift system that raises and lowers the agitators from the mixing vessel. The vessel is attached…

Conductive plastic pumps for safe transfer operations

Available in March, the SCP-6500 Pumps feature a lug with a grounding wire on the front of the pumps, and made with conductive plastic, these pumps allow users of flammable liquids to ground the pumps, making them safe for use…

Larger members for this family of small pumps

Michael Smith Engineers The established range of HNP positive displacement, internal-gear pumps has been expanded to include new, larger pumps and more drive options. The 11500 Series (photo) deliver output flows of 0.2–1,150 mL/min and differential pressures between 0–60 or…

A more efficient system for making compressed air

Specializing in energy-efficient systems for compressed air, this firm has developed systems that allow energy savings of the initial compressor-power consumption. As an example, a conventional compressor with nominal flowrate of 160,000 Nm3/h and a discharge pressure of 18.5 bars…

Three new, efficient progressive cavity pumps

Three new progressive cavity pumps are now available from this manufacturer: the Series C is designed for demanding duties in the pulp and paper, mining and minerals, and chemical industries; the Series D is designed for dosing applications; and the…

Improved throttling now available in more sizes

Emerson Process Management This firm has extended line sizes for the Fisher Control Disk valve (photo), which offers excellent throttling performance and is suitable for applications that involve fast processes and varying pressure drops. The valve’s control range is said…
