Pumps Get Efficiency Boost via Design Innovations, and more..

Design Enhancements Improve Pump Sanitation and Cleanability Numerous pump makers have introduced design enhancements aimed at accommodating the clean-in-place or sterilize-in-place (CIP/SIP) needs of food processors. Here we learn of several recent developments, including an inducer pump with a flat body profile that, when mounted with vertical ports, can completely drain in CIP applications. Also described is a positive-displacement pump with a split-style gearbox that provides easy access to bearings and shafts — no need to remove covers, clean rotors out-of-place, and reassemble. Notably, one line of pumps features uniform-thickness rubber stators to prevent gaps between rotor and stator, caused by temperature differences between the cleaning solution and the pump parts being cleaned.   See Video of Revolutionary Pulse-less Flow Pump  Wanner Engineering, Inc. New Low Flow Industrial Motor Driven Diaphragm Pumps  Xylem Flow Control Hydra-Cell's multiple diaphragm design from Wanner has revolutionized the metering pump industry by providing linear, "pulse-less" flow. The need for costly pulsation dampeners is eliminated while improving accuracy and reliability. Linear flow technology not only eliminates the costs associated with dampening, but also improves upon API 675 performance standards. Flojet's new LF Series Compact Pumps offer up to a 1.0 GPM (3.8 LPM) flow rate and optional industry leading switch technology, proven with over 1 million cycles. These pumps are the ideal solution for many applications including spraying, fluid transfer, filtration, cooling, dispensing, and pressure boosting. Read more. Brushless DC Magnetic-drive Fluid Recirculation Pumps Gorman-Rupp Industries Oilless Rocking Piston Vacuum Pumps and Compressors  Gast Group Designed for the recirculation and transfer of fluids, GRI's INTG2 brushless DC magnetic-drive recirculation pumpoperates on power supplies ranging from 9 to 27 volts and has a built-in speed control that gives OEMs the ability to change the pump's speed in order to meet specific pressure and flow requirements. The 82R DC series from Gast combines the best characteristics of piston and diaphragm air compressors into a small unit with exceptional performance. The flexibility of oilless Rocking Piston air compressors and vacuum pumps, available in standard, twin, and miniature styles, make them the perfect choice for hundreds of applications.

Learn More How to Configure Pumps for Chiller Plants In this overview of the methods used to control chiller plants in commercial AC systems, we learn about the two most common variable-flow pumping configurations: parallel pumps and single pumps with standby. Discussion points include the "misconception that in a parallel pumping configuration, once the system flow drops below design flow rate, one pump must be de-energized." Mounting Points Secure? Check! If your facility lacks a pump-maintenance checklist — and you would like to develop one — here's a step-by-step process for creating a regular maintenance schedule. Step 1: determine a maintenance frequency, based not only on manufacturers' guidelines but also on your overall production schedules. Other topics addressed include lockout/tagout, mechanical-inspection tasks, and lubrication. Pump Applications . . .
