Pierburg GmbH has developed a solenoid valve that shuts off the oil cooling of the pistons when needed. It has already gone into series production.

Vogelsang will present the new generation of the twin-shaft grinder XRipper.

The ASM 390 and ASM 392 are leak detection solutions adapted to the semiconductor and display industries as well as to other demanding applications where rapid pump down and high sensitivity is key. Both models are Semi S2 compliant.

Rheinhütte Pumpen is an enterprise with a long tradition that, with the RCEV vertical pump, offers a robust solution for heavy-duty applications in which corrosive and abrasive media need to be conveyed. The RCEV metal pump is a base bearing-free design which is particularly suitable for conveying liquids containing solids from containers or open sumps.

The new Bitzer Orbit+ models enable system manufacturers to fulfil the requirements of the European Ecodesign Directive. They are equipped with a line start permanent magnet motor, which achieves unmatched efficiency levels that improve the seasonal performance (SEER/IPLV) by up to 8 per cent while also increasing cooling capacity by up to 5 per cent.

The Gemü 790 ball valve series stands out thanks to its compact yet robust design. At the same time, it is suitable for use up to a pressure rating of PN125.

In response to the worldwide increase in extra large waste water projects, KSB SE & Co. KGaA, Frankenthal, Germany, has significantly extended its range of large dry-installed waste water pumps. The pump manufacturer has developed an extra 15 sizes to add to its Sewatec pump series.

Franklin Electric now offers the Inline 1100 SpecPAK Pressure Boosting System to provide a simplified way to select a packaged system for boosting water pressure in applications requiring more than one pump.

The Finish Thompson FTI AIR range of Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pumps (AODD) has been expanded following the introduction of new models in materials which are FDA compliant. Available from Michael Smith Engineers these new pump options are made from Polypropylene and 316 Stainless Steel so they are ideal for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fluids handling applications.

The centrifugal pump of type MPCV has some exceptional properties. Due to the dry-running, self-regulating and hermetically sealed design, the tried-and-tested vertical pump does not require a minimum volume flow or a large static head. The 3-phase compatible and intrinsically safe special pump is now also available as an all-ceramic version (K-MPCV-AN).
