PUMPS Wanner announces new Hydra- Cell heavy duty, high pressure, multi-diaphragm seal-less pump No Problem Metering Non-lubricating Liquids with Hydra-Cell Wanner has launched the Hydra-Cell® T200 Series Medium Pressure, multi-diaphragm pump range, which in terms of flow rate and pressure are the highest performing pumps in the Hydra-Cell range and the biggest pumps ever produced by the Company. They feature a seal- less design that eliminates leaks, hazards and the expense associated with seals and packing; lowering the cost of ownership and giving a longer service life than competitive pumping technologies. There are two models, currently, in the T200 Series, rated at 207 bar (3000 psi) and 241 bar (3500 psi) with maximum flows of 387 l/min (102.2 US gpm) and 349 l/min (92.4 US gpm) respectively. The new pumps are ideal for oil and gas production, mining operations, boiler feed and high-pressure cleaning, along with chemical and petrochemical process and transfer applications. Hydra-Cell API 675 Metering Pumps have solved a problem for one of the world’s largest suppliers of polyurethane automotive foams The external gear pump used to pump non- lubricating, water-based catalyst were prone to wear, exhibited low efficiency and caused unacceptable high shear within the product. Hydra-Cell API 675 diaphragm Metering Pumps, with their inherently low shear pumping action, provided the ideal solution to the problems. Since the application could not risk contamination by the hydraulic fluid, extensive testing with Mesamoll® oil, was conducted before a Hydra-Cell Metering Solutions model P200 was installed for evaluation. This first P200 pump performed exceptionally well, eliminating the low-efficiency, high-shear, and non- lubricating pumping problems. Hydra-Cell P200 pumps are steadily replacing the gear pumps on the customer’s systems installed in automotive plants around the world. www.hydra-cell.eu Pump Vibration Monitoring Pumps are crucial components of many processes across most industrial applications. Vibration monitoring is a cost-effective way to maintain pump and overall machine health, minimize downtime and reduce operating costs. Key indicators of pump health are, Balance, Alignment, Cavitation, Vane pass frequency, Bearing health. Our range of 4-20mA loop powered sensors provide an economical means, when connected to a monitoring system such as a plant PLC, DCS or SCADA system, to continuously monitor your pumps. Trending this vibration data over a period of time will give you an early indication of the pumps health which can then be investigated further.
