Seven pump selection errors that stay invisible at quote time – from NPSH margins to viscosity correction. The free VSX whitepaper “Best Practices for Avoiding Hydraulic Pump Selection Errors” shows engineering and sales teams how to spot them early, what they cost and which standards apply. Includes an 8-point pre-selection checklist.
Double diaphragm pumps operate using an oscillating positive displacement principle. The pump consists of two main fluid housings and a central air control section. Inside each housing, a flexible diaphragm is mounted vertically and connected to a shared shaft. As compressed air enters and exits the air chambers, the diaphragms move in a coordinated push pull motion.
Aeration is a critical component of both municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, enabling the effective removal of organic contaminants and supporting regulatory compliance. Blowers have long been essential, but they are often associated with high energy consumption, noise and ongoing maintenance demands.
ALLWEILER showcased a portfolio of pump solutions for demanding wastewater and industrial applications, including the launch of its new AE RD/RE Hopper Pump, as well as the RG Hopper Pump ZD, ALLDUR stators, ALLPRO propeller pumps, and AEB DE dosing pumps at IFAT 2026.
CIRCOR International announces the appointment of Mike Daricilar as Vice President of Operations for its Warren, Massachusetts facility. In this role, Daricilar will lead operations strategy and execution, with a focus on strengthening delivery performance, instilling disciplined operating fundamentals, and reinforcing engagement and communication across the site to drive sustained operational performance.
In 2025, the 500,000th rotary vane (RV) pump have rolled off the production line in Lutín, Czechia. A remarkable milestone for a pump that has redefined rotary vane (RV) vacuum technology. Trusted across a wide range of applications—from laboratory research and analytical chemistry to pharmaceutical processes, light industrial environments, such as coating, freeze drying or degassing, and OEM systems—the RV pump combines precision engineering with proven reliability to deliver performance customers can count on.
AUMA underwent a reorganisation at the start of 2026. With its new organisational structure and expanded executive board, the company is strengthening its long-term viability in an increasingly complex market environment.
Shortly before IFAT Munich 2026, current industry figures from the exhibiting mechanical engineering sectors show that Europe is gaining importance as a growth driver, while the U.S. and China are losing momentum.
Valve specialist GEMÜ is expanding globe valve GEMÜ S40 by actuator size 0, thereby adding another flexible solution for small nominal sizes and low operating pressures to the globe valve range of the latest product generation.
National Pump Company (NPC) offers a comprehensive line of API 610 vertical turbine pumps designed for the rigorous requirements of the oil and gas industries.
