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.
As population grows and economies expand, they are putting an immense strain on the world’s water supplies. According to the UN World Water Development Report 2024, 2.2 billion people worldwide have no access to clean drinking water.
Antarctica is often referred to as “the last frontier” – and with good reason. As of 2023, there are no inhabitants on the mainland, but the continent is host to approximately 45 permanent research stations and more than 50 seasonal and/or subantarctic stations, all of which are maintained by 55 different countries.
The Busch Group has expanded the production facility of Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions in Romania. The new premises have now been inaugurated. The event took place at Nervia Industrial Park in Apahida, Cluj County. During the celebration, two other important milestones were also recognized: Busch Romania had its 10th anniversary and the founding of the new company Composites Busch Romania was announced.
The use of hand pumps in industry and trade comes with certain risks. They can endanger health and safety and lead to cross-contamination between tanks. Seeking to prevent this, Lutz Pumpen has developed a new modular pump tube – one of the few specifically designed for use in canisters.
As part of its strategy to penetrate new and emergent markets, Thordon Bearings has appointed Axioma servisas as its sales, service and distribution lead for Lithuania. Lithuania has been one of the fastest-growing economies in the EU over the past five years. The country continues to actively develop its maritime, manufacturing and renewable energy sectors, as part of government policy to strengthen the country’s industrial competitiveness.
The Plenty TRIRO rotary triple screw pump from Celeros Flow Technology is primarily designed for handling clean lubricating liquids. It ensures consistent flow and prevents the liquid becoming emulsified, making the Plenty TRIRO the pump of choice for forced lubrication and seal oil circulation applications.
Sulzer Services recently partnered with a branch of Petrovietnam Power Corporation – JSC – Petrovietnam Power Hatinh Company (PVP) to perform an extensive rotor repair for the steam turbine generator unit at a 1’200 MW thermal power plant in Vung Ang, Vietnam. Using regional support and state-of-the-art technologies, the restoration provides shortened repair times and operational cost savings. It also secures long-term energy for industry and thousands of homes in Vietnam.
Traditionally, progressive cavity (PC) pumps have been regarded as the best solution for the most demanding fluid pumping challenges. They excel at handling highly viscous, abrasive, and debris-laden media, making them particularly effective in wastewater treatment facilities.
Delta announces the launch of its MSI motor series in the EMEA region. Designed as a high-efficiency PM reluctance motor, the MSI series brings unparalleled compactness, energy savings, and integration capabilities to fan and pump applications. With options including flange, foot, and flange/foot versions, as well as speeds of 1500 rpm and 3000 rpm, the MSI series is set to redefine industrial motor performance.
Ahead of the new year, a pump expert has predicted that 2025 will be the year that smart monitoring and digitalisation in IoT pump monitoring will come to the fore across the sector. Smart pumps have seen a significant increase in demand, with forecasts predicting growth at a CAGR of 8.5% between 2023 and 2028 and this growing adoption could help the global pumps market reach £72.7 billion by 2029.
