Hand Pumps Provide Simple Yet Robust Performance

23.03.2005

Where a liquids handling application requires a basic, yet very efficient hand operated pump, Pump Engineering provides the perfect solution with its new Pageboy HD14 pump. This hand operated diaphragm pump is suitable for pumping aggressive liquids such as acids and alkalis, including slurries or those containing suspended solids.

The HD14 pump is self-priming and very simple to operate and maintain. It benefits from a robust construction using materials such as Polypropylene or PTFE for the body, with diaphragm and valves in Butyl, Chloroprene, EPDM, Nitrile, or Viton.

Maximum flow rate is 45 lit /min (based on pumping water at 20ºC and dependent on the operator). Maximum head is 5 metres with a suction lift of 4 metres. HD14 pumps are suited to a wide range of general process and chemical duties and are also ideal for transferring hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide which are often used water treatment applications.

Chlorine Gas Systems: New Electric Safety Valve Makes the System Safer

13.12.2024 -

Chlorine gas plays a key role in the disinfection of drinking and industrial water. However, handling the chemical can pose considerable health risks – from irritation of the eyes to fatal pulmonary oedema. To further improve occupational safety during use, Lutz-Jesco has developed the VakuStop – a vacuum regulator for dosing systems that is equipped with an emergency stop function to prevent uncontrolled chlorine gas leaks directly at the chlorine gas tank in the event of an emergency.
