New RunSafe SiC dry run-tolerant bearing
CDR Pumps have developed an innovative 'RunSafe SiC' bearing concept, that has proved to offer even further extended life, even when pumps totally dry-run
The design brief in this application was to manufacture a filling machine capable of filling from 5 litre drums, up to 1500 litre IBC vessels, capable of handling a wide selection of solvents, and be fully automated to eliminate operator error and provide a fast efficient filling cycle.
Due to the nature of the products being pumped, the entire system needed to be ATEX rated.
The unit incorporates a mass flowmeter, with control being through a PLC controller using inverter drive control to slow and reduce the filling speed, ensuring operator safety at all stages through the process.
CDR Pumps (UK) provided a pump from their ETN-L series of ETFE lined magnetic drive centrifugal pump units, driven by an inverter rated ATEX motor, all of which makes an ATEX compliant pump unit.
CDR Pumps Managing Director Ashley Fenn says "We have worked with Permex before on various filling machine applications, and their knowledge, experience and attention to detail is second to none.
We are pleased that this project was once again a success for both companies, and look forward to working with Permex again in the future".
