IN FOCUS

At IFAT, Vogelsang GmbH & Co. KG will be showing the conical HiCone progressive cavity pump for use in wastewater treatment plants and pump stations. Additionally, a 3D model of a small, compact version of the HiCone will be on display.

Vogelsang recently launched a new line of positive displacement pumps that was designed specifically around the typical requirements of industrial pumping applications, including those of the oil and gas market.

In recent years, the composition of wastewater has changed considerably, and pumping of untreated raw wastewater has become more and more challenging. Pump hydraulics which were used in the past without any problems and with satisfactory results, are becoming clogged more and more often.

Vanzetti Engineering presents the new ESK-IMO series of retractable submerged pumps, which are used in Small-Scale LNG Terminals and as Emergency pumps or Cargo/Stripping pumps in the marine sector. The ESK-IMO pumps offer the advantage of easy maintenance without the need for tank draining and reclamation.

The new HiPace 30 Neo turbopump from Pfeiffer Vacuum is a vacuum pump for compact analysis systems and portable applications. Due to its high gas throughput and exceptional compression, it is suitable for light gases and has excellent critical backing pressure.

Smith & Loveless Inc. highlights the EVERLAST Rectangular Recessed Pump Station, a semi-recessed climate-controlled wastewater pump station that continues the S&L tradition of high efficiency, long service life, operator ease and safety, and low operation and maintenance costs. The EV R2 pump station comes as a complete, factory-built and tested system that is simple to install in both new installations and replacements of submersible pump stations.

Using canned motor technology for submersible pumps provides significant advantages. A short shaft, only two slide bearings – independent from the immersion depth – and various monitoring functions not only ensure high reliability but also mean cost advantages for the operator. Since it is supplied as a lock pump, easy servicing is guaranteed at the same time.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has significantly enhanced its Qdos Conveying Wave Technology (CWT) pumps by increasing their pressure capability. The pumps are now capable of delivering flow rates of 500 ml/min at pressures of up to 130 PSI (9 bar), a substantial increase from its previous capacity of 100 PSI (7 bar).

At this year’s Anuga FoodTec, pump manufacturer LEWA will be presenting its newly developed LEWA homogenizer test system, that can be used to test the aseptic functioning of a homogenizer based on a hygienic hermetic process diaphragm pump. Thanks to a homogenizing valve that is also hygienic, it can be flexibly adjusted to the requirements of different emulsions.

As part of its extensive pump portfolio Celeros Flow Technology offers heavy duty BB3 pumps that provide a versatile and reliable flow control solutions in most multistage applications. The pump is designed for exceptional reliability in arduous applications, easy maintenance and long service intervals.
