Gemü´s new 3140 series pressure gauges facilitate precision measuring across a wider range of pressures and temperatures. With these latest additions to their product portfolio, Ingelfingen-based valve specialists Gemü are modernising their range of measurement systems.

Allweiler will exhibit its redesigned vertical centrifugal pump solutions for ship engine rooms. The innovative foot design reduces space requirements and improves operational safety.

Electric actuator manufacturer Auma has enhanced its underwater actuators with explosion-proof versions. These actuators are suitable for continuous immersion, thus considerably extending the scope of application of electric actuators in water supply systems, hydropower plants, civil engineering constructions for water applications, and specific underwater applications.

The thirst for the coveted raw product of natural gas remains unquenched, despite the crisis in oil and gas. Each year, the global quantity of drilling platforms increases – their number has gone up by 25 percent in just the last seven years alone.

Pumping specialists Michael Smith Engineers have introduced new TEFC (Totally Closed Fan Cooled) IP55 motor options for their range of Finish Thompson drum and barrel emptying pumps. This type of pump is the most reliable and efficient method of transferring a wide range of fluids from container-to-container compared to hand pumps, and these new motor options extend their capability to an even wider range of applications.

Circor announces the launch of Emtec-C, the next generation of the Allweiler three-screw pump that moves abrasive machine chips, particles and heat away from cutting surfaces in high-pressure machine tool coolant service, delivering improved durability and best-in-class efficiency.

Q.E.D. Environmental Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of innovative environmental products and subsidiary of Graco Inc., announces the new Biomethane 3000 fixed analyzer, designed for high-accuracy methane and oxygen readings for biomethane applications.

Wilden is pleased to announce the availability of its new 6 mm (1/4”) Velocity Series AODD pump. Featuring the industry’s first detachable mounting foot, the Velocity Series pump provides adaptable mounting capabilities making it the ideal solution for all small-dosing applications.

Almatec, part of PSG, is pleased to announce the release of its new C-Series AODD pump. Ideally suited for virtually any pumping application where an oscillating pump can be found, C-Series pumps have been specifically developed to be a cost-effective alternative to similar plastic pumps while retaining the reliable and solid design typical of all Almatec pumps.

The KSB Group has developed a special impeller for its Movitec multistage high-pressure pumps. This new impeller significantly improves these pumps’ suction characteristics (NPSH value). It proves its worth particularly in applications with critical inlet conditions (e.g. boiler feed applications) as well as applications in which the pump is required to take in water from low-lying tanks or at higher temperatures.
