Michael Smith Engineers has announced that Hydra-Cell pumps are a cost-effective alternative to traditional metering pumps.
Small pump package delivers big performance
The Micropump innovative I-Drive electromagnetic drive has been developed to meet the increasing demands from OEM engineers and machine builders who require high performance from less space
The rotor resembles a single threaded screw that turns inside the double threaded stator.
As the rotor 'rotates', one cavity diminishes while another is created, displacing liquid up the drum pump tube in a smooth, non-pulsating flow.
This contributes towards the pump energy-saving characteristics because it enables HVDP pumps to operate with smaller motors, even when pumping very viscous liquids.
The HVDP pump is designed to handle liquids with viscosities up to 20,000 cP, at flow rates up to 32 lit/min, heads up to 91 metres and is suitable for handling liquids with a maximum temperature of 82C.
This model features heavy duty 316SS tube construction in lengths of 70cm, 100cm and 120cm and also a camlock feature enabling the pump to be disassembled quickly and easily without the need for tools.
Powerful new 800W universal, variable speed motors provide precise adjustment of fluid flow with speed regulator and are available with the HVDP and PF Series of drum/barrel emptying pumps.
Typical applications for HVDP pumps will be found in the chemical, cosmetic, food and coating industries, transferring liquids such as adhesives, pastes, oils, greases, soaps, creams, honey, syrups, paints and waxes.
