This positive-displacement pump has optimized efficiency
The Universal 2 ND positive-displacement pump (U2 ND) Series (photo) significantly expands the WCB pump range, aimed at enhancing reliability and performance, while outperforming other pump styles, such as industrial lobe, gear or progressive-cavity pumps, the company says. The pumps ensure a long running life, given their robust construction materials and designs tailored for each application. Because of its high volumetric efficiency, the pumps can be used to dose fluids, eliminating the need for an additional metering pump. The U2 ND pump reduces slip, which occurs when fluids move backward from the liquid flow due to internal clearances. Lower slip means more efficiency, reducing the need for higher-horsepower motors. Also, the series can process fluids over longer spans due to its high-pressure capability, which reduces the need for multiple pumps in these applications. — SPX Flow, Inc., Charlotte, N.C.
