Sealless pumps for the petrochemical industries
Following the API standard relating to the use of sealless pumps in the petrochemical, oil and gas industries, Hermetic Pumps launches the CNP API 685 series as part of their canned motor pump range
Magnetically driven self-cleaning filter launched
Available from Axflow Limited, the MCF is a unique filter that employs magnetically coupled drive technology to move the self-cleaning disc, eliminating the need for shaft or external drive seals
Most importantly, they do this without the mechanical seals of a typical centrifugal pump, so reducing the possibility of leakage.
The AxFlow Wilden Typhoon pump comes as standard with the latest heat dissipation technology in the form of a patented fluid flow path around the bushing.
This additional path allows the process fluid to cool the bushing of the impeller from the outside, while continuing to offer the internal spiral cooling channel offered on most magnetic drive centrifugal pumps.
Pump designers at Wilden report that this unique feature prevents the heat build-up that frequently damages or completely disables the shaft bushing.
Other notable features include a patented buffer system which absorbs vibrations and shock that can result from adverse operating conditions.
At the same time, this buffer is self-adjusting providing dampened face-to-face contact between the thrust ring and the wear ring, thereby minimising wear and prolonging service life.
Dry running conditions can be tolerated due to the inclusion of the heat dissipation capability.
Offering flow rates up to an impressive 800 l/m, the Typhoon Mag-Drive is a compact unit that can help to increase productivity, reduce operating costs and give the leak-free performance that so many chemical duties demand.
Applications where the typhoon has proved more effective than alternative designs, even when questions about the suitability of mag-drive pumps have been raised, include transferring copper acid, caustic soda, water with trace sulphuric acid and liquid ammonia.
According to AxFlow, the five-model range gives current and potential users of mag-drive pumps a highly reliable, efficient and low maintenance approach to handling some of the more difficult liquids encountered across all areas of the processing spectrum. Request a free brochure from AxFlow ...
