Hydra-Cell pumps a 'cost-effective alternative'
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
Available in the UK through pumping specialists Michael Smith Engineers, these pumps promise outstanding reliability and efficiency, thanks to their advanced engineering CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) design and superior magnetic flux technology.
Constructed from polypropylene or PVDF, the DB Series are designed to resist the effects of the most corrosive chemicals and are an ideal alternative to mechanically sealed pumps used across a wide range of applications.
For example, chemical manufacture, metal plating and finishing, wastewater treatment, electronics manufacture, fume scrubbing, mining, paper mills, printing and pharmaceutical processing.
Among the key features and benefits are a dry-running ability to help protect the pump from operator errors or system interruptions, easy to set-up drive positioning thanks to the measurement free outer-drive which ensures optimum magnet alignment, and easy motor installation.
Also, multiple impeller diameters allow hydraulic requirements to be precisely met and a two-piece impeller design enables the impeller to be changed without having to replace the inner drive.
Finally, multiple connections provide installation flexibility which helps to reduce installation cost and time.
DB Series pumps are designed for high working pressures (up to 90 psi) which allows fluids to be pumped safely whilst protecting against unexpected surges in system pressure.
The choice of models covers flow rates up to 29m3/hr at heads up to 27 metres for liquids with densities up to 1.8g/cm3.
The pumps can be supplied with standard NEMA or IEC motors and ATEX models are also available.
