Sweet success for the new Mono Helios
pump
Mono NOV has supplied one of the leading UK producers of bakery products and frozen bakery ingredients with two of its new hygienic progressing cavity pumps from the Helios range
The pumps are being used to transfer various fondants under high pressure at a capacity of between 1.0 and 5.3m3/h to intermediate bulk containers (IBC) Previously the company had experienced problems with very high wear rates on the existing lobe pumps when transferring its assorted high viscosity fondants

New Mono coating provides answer to rotor abrasion
Mono Pumps, a leading manufacturer of pumps and pumping solutions, has launched Duracoat 3000 - a new surface coating offering increased wear resistance for rotors used in highly abrasive environments
It specified the Helios pumps to overcome this problem and they are already resulting in a higher production rate at the facility, due to the improved suction and wear characteristics the pumps deliver.
The Helios pumps were supplied with inverter drives, which mean that the pump speed can be varied depending on the fondant viscosities (between 5240 - 40,000 cps) and their abrasive characteristics, allowing them to be handled at optimum efficiency.
The project manager at the company commented: "The Helios pumps were specified due to their ability to pump different viscosities with ease.
We had previous experience of Mono and knew their product and service to be reliable and ideal for this type of application.
Since its installation on the IBC filling application, operating times have been greatly reduced".
The twenty-nine models in the Helios range feature a compact design with a one piece suction chamber that is easily cleaned and has no areas where product can collect, eliminating the risk of contamination.
The pump can also be dismantled without removing the drive, which makes inspection and maintenance much easier and reduces the risk of damage to the mechanical seal while working on the pump.
Polished stainless steel is used for all metal parts in contact with the pumped product and reliable operation and reduced downtime is further ensured by the inclusion of a sealed pin joint.
Inlet and outlet fittings are threaded as standard to DIN 11851, with alternatives available on request.
White stators can also be specified as well as a full range of industry related options, including CIP by-pass connection ports.
