Wanner announces new Hydra-Cell heavy duty , high pressure , multi-diaphragm seal-less pump
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 pumps have no dynamic seals , cups or packing to leak , wear or replace , eliminating seal maintenance costs while hazardous materials and VOCs ( volatile organic compounds ) are fully contained . The seal-less design , combined with robust check valves , also enable the pump to handle abrasive particles up to 800 microns in size and with less wear than gear , screw or plunger pumps . The Hydra-Cell T200 can operate with a closed or blocked suction line and can run dry indefinitely without damage , eliminating downtime and repair costs .
With energy costs becoming an ever-increasing element in overall operational cost the T200 ’ s low energy consumption , in relation to performance , will contribute significantly to its claim of having the lowest cost of ownership .

The Game Changing Single-Use Diaphragm Valve
As the world ’ s first single use diaphragm valve , GEMÜ SUMONDO is a major step forward in Single- Use applications . The diaphragm valve body can be easily connected / disconnected from the actuator , it requires significantly less time to replace compared to normal cleaning and sterilization processes ( CIP / SIP ) in conventional plant .
This reduces not only the investment costs , but also eliminates the time-consuming cleaning validation of the piping system / components which is no longer required . Single- Use processes are safer due to the reduced risk of cross contamination . CMOs can also benefit from using a Single-Use plant as it allows them to produce smaller batches of product that are often required in pilot production systems and facilitate shorter lead times . GEMÜ SUMONDO has a panel mount actuator with an optional positioner for flow control and ability to send feedback to the plant control system . Increased levels of automation mean that the systems are less susceptible to faults .

Mobile Hygienic Pump Kit For High Temperature Viscous Sauces
A traditional bakery established for over 50 years was looking to improve the way fruit Jams , Toffee Sauce , Fruit Curds and Whipped Cream were transferred into process at temperatures up to 110 ° C . The current procedure was to transfer sauces via totes or buckets , however the customer wanted to improve their process and automate food transfer , reduce the likelihood of burns or accidents and eliminate manual lifting and tipping of containers . We worked with the bakery to customise a hygienic mobile pump kit with control panel enabling an operator to easily start , stop , control flow & reverse sauce transfer with very little training . Furthermore the pump kit was designed with built-in alarm , and controls to prevent accidental damage being performed to the pump . The unit also featured a control panel and motor shroud cover in Stainless Steel , improving the ease and speed at which the unit could be cleaned .
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 .

Hydra-Cell ® Pulse-less MT8 Metering Pump has ATEX Certification
The Hydra-Cell MT8 low-flow , high-pressure metering and dosing pump is now available with ATEX Zone 2 certification .
Conforming to ATEX Group ll , Category 3 , Zone 2 , gas group ( IIC ) and temperature class ( T5 or T4 depending on process liquid temperature ), the MT8 is classified for use within explosive atmospheres consisting of a mixture of air and flammable substance in the form of gas , vapour or mist that is not likely to occur in normal operation , but if it does occur will persist for a short time only .
For Category 3 , Zone 2 , a protective system isn ’ t always required . In this case , an oil level sight bowl is fitted to the drive side of the Hydra-Cell pump that enables easy monitoring by the end user .
