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.
SEEPEX expands its portfolio with FlowShred, a solid conditioning system featuring a twinshaft grinder that efficiently reduces heterogeneous organic waste from food production and converts it into a pumpable medium. The compact, pre-assembled system combines mechanical size reduction with conveying via an integrated progressive cavity pump, ensuring stable processes, continuous throughput, and minimal downtime.

Industrial motors are often described in terms of horsepower, voltage, efficiency class, or frame size. Yet in heavy industries like oil and gas, power generation, mining, pulp and paper, water treatment, and beyond, motor reliability is not determined by nameplate data. Long term performance depends just as much on what happens before startup and after commissioning as it does on the motor’s electromagnetic design.
GEMÜ is consistently driving forward with automation and electrification of biopharmaceutical processes: With immediate effect, the motorized pinch valve GEMÜ Q50 eSyStep is also available for tube sizes of up to 1” inside diameter.
