Armstrong Fluid Technology has announced the introduction of Maintenance-Free (MF) versions of its popular S&H Circulator line and the Seal Bearing Assemblies (SBA) used to service them.

For applications involving fluids with extreme viscosity or volume ratios, the most common limiting factor in static mixer design is allowable length. The Kenics KMX-V Static Mixer, the latest addition to the Chemineer product line, features a design that generates superior mixing per unit length for laminar flow and high/low viscosity ratio applications.

The ViscoTec Pumpen- u. Dosiertechnik GmbH has extended its portfolio of 2-component dosing systems for additional user benefits and presents the newly developed product series ViscoDuo- VM.

The EZstrip TR Muncher offers a competitive solution to solids grinding and sludge conditioning. With the ability to maintain the grinder in place without removing the equipment, maintenance is reduced by more than 70% for significant cost savings.

With the FBM-B 3100, Flux-Geräte presents the world’s first brushless battery motor for pumps. The motor is designed for the small sealless Combiflux drum pump. In combination with the pump, the motor provides a delivery rate which is extraordinary for this type of pump and guarantees the highest possible degree of flexibility in operation.

The new pumps of the Turbovac i product line consistently offer a higher performance even for widely differing requirements. Through their additional compression stage, the Turbovac 350 i and 450 i are particularly well suited for ultra-high vacuum applications and for integration within compact pump system solutions.

Reliable, leak-free and low-maintenance pumping is essential (though often taken for granted) in many process applications, even when ‘challenging’ liquids like corrosives are being transferred. The Finish Thompson SP series of magnetic drive, self-priming centrifugal pumps are ideal for these situations as they provide the combination of fast, reliable and powerful performance with corrosion-resistant materials that withstand the rigours of the most demanding applications.

The latest version of the “motor-mounted” speed control system for centrifugal pumps was designed specifically to cater to heating and air-conditioning applications.

The Dragflow dredging and slurry pump has a very simple design making it easy to use and service. The agitator picks up materials which are too coarse for pumping and puts solids in suspension; the pump which is positioned above then sucks them in easily.

Critical flow control systems in high-technology engineering applications, such as those designed for fuel lines in aviation, Formula One motorsport and the oil industry, increasingly require components which provide the highest levels of performance and reliability in the smallest, lightest package. To meet these demands, Lee Products has recently extended its range of flow control products with the introduction of a new 375 Zero Leak Check Valve.
