Flowserve combines proven Bearing Gard reliability with latest in AEGIS grounding ring technology to extend motor bearing life, while reducing bearing contamination and related wear and maintenance costs.

Busch will be presenting the new Cobra NX screw vacuum pump. This vacuum pump compresses in a fully dry state, that is to say without operating fluid in the compression chamber. It is therefore ideal as a backing pump for pump units in heat treatment systems, and boasts significant advantages in comparison to oil-lubricated piston or rotary vane vacuum pumps.

The 50GY series contains the first pumps from Tsurumi’s latest waste water program expansion. One special feature is the grinder-cutting mechanism.

The start of July 2016 saw KSB, Germany, launch an extension to its Ecoline GT 40 range of cast steel gate valves. A version with butt weld ends is now available alongside the model with flanged ends.

With the EcoCCompact, Dürr Ecoclean has developed a versatile full-vacuum system for parts cleaning and corrosion protection with non-halogenated hydrocarbons and modified alcohols.

Atlas Copco has upgraded its 30 to 45 kW range of fixed-speed oil-injected rotary screw compressors to offer a smaller footprint, lower noise and a more compact design. The GA 30+, GA 37 and GA 45 compressors provide greater efficiency, with Free Air Delivery (FAD) and a Specific Energy Requirement (SER) improved by 1% respectively.

The new CombiTherm Plus pump provides safe and reliable transfer of hot fluids without the need for additional, external cooling systems. The pump is available in two configurations suitable for the pumping of hot oil or hot water and provides an efficient and cost-effective pumping solution.

Atlas Copco has added three new models to its range of oil-injected rotary screw compressors to give larger industrial air users a 20% average improvement in free air delivery and energy savings of up to 35%. Complementing the existing fixed speed GA160+-315 range, the new VSD additions comprise the GA200VSD, GA250VSD and an upgraded version of the GA315VSD, with three different pressure variants from 8.5 to 14 bar developed to match operators’ needs.

The benefits of using sealless, mag-drive (magnetically driven) pumps in extreme fluids handling applications are well documented. Quite simply, where fluids handling applications involve hazardous, hard-to-handle chemicals, mag-drive pumps are designed to provide reliable,leak-free operation, with no environmental emissions, no double mechanical seal costs and no need for seal-support systems.

Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced a new Design Envelope Vertical-In-Line Retrofit solution.
