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.

At a tank farm in a Brazilian sea port, two centrifugal pumps were used for transferring heavy oil from storage tanks to road tankers or vessels until February 2020. This required the high viscosity of the medium to be reduced by means of diesel injection, costing the owner at least 2,000 US dollars each day. In addition, the centrifugal pumps regularly broke down due to cavitation damage. The owners decided to initially replace one of the two centrifugal pumps with a NOTOS multi screw pump from NETZSCH. Due to its very good suction capabilities, the selected four-screw 4NS is also suitable for highly viscous media with up to 200,000 cSt, achieving a flow rate of up to 3000 m³/h.

Safe and efficient DESMI mag-drive centrifugal pumps enable leakage-free methanol fuel systems for ships, reducing vessel carbon emissions and climate impact. With every year that passes, emission regulations tighten in the shipping industry. Shipowners who want to stay in business need to look for ways of reducing carbon emissions to comply with the targets defined in the IMO GHG Strategy and other regulations.

The growing scale of water transport systems in the past few years has resulted in a steady increase in the volume flow rates demanded of the pumps installed, which in turn has required ever larger pump sizes. Responding to this development, KSB Group has expanded its RDLO type series from 21 sizes to 33.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) has launched the Qdos H-FLO chemical metering and dosing pump, designed specifically for higher flow rates up to 158 gallons per hour (600 L/h).

With pumping speeds ranging from 80 to 800 l/s, the HiCube Neo vacuum pumping station is ideal for demanding high vacuum and ultra-high vacuum applications. The HiCube Neo can be prepared for wide-ranging applications with an array of different backing pumps such as diaphragm, rotary vane, scroll and multi-stage Roots pumps.

MasoSine Certa pumps from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) are proving time and time again that they are up to the challenge when it comes to the transfer of viscous foods such as guacamole, a popular dip or spread for Mexican food.

Armstrong Fluid Technology has introduced an expanded range of Design Envelope Permanent Magnet pumps that are engineered to deliver 35-65% reduction in energy consumption compared to conventional integrated pumps with induction motors.

When chemical injection processes demand dependable and accurate delivery where space is limited and reliability and convenience are required, PulsaPro 7440 has the compact size and features to make operation and maintenance easier and faster.
