In response to the transition in power generation from large power stations fired by coal and gas to smaller power stations incinerating biomass or refuse, the KSB Group has developed a new variant of their HGM high-pressure pump that has been tried and tested for 30 years.

In many applications in the chemical industry, the food industry and the oil and gas industry as well, pumps that work reliably and provide high performance are needed.

Sulzer has launched a new shut-off device SOD for horizontal SALOMIX™ SSA agitators that significantly reduces the time spent on servicing the seal. The device enables seal maintenance without emptying the tank, which makes the feature especially useful for very large tanks, wastewater treatment plants, and other critical processes.

Xylem’s Flojet brand has enhanced its innovative VersiJet Series industrial motor driven diaphragm (MDD) pumps with the introduction of a new, four-chamber model. Leveraging market-leading pump technology from Flojet, the new MDD pump has been specifically designed to serve industrial applications requiring flow rates of between 3 and 5 gallons per minutes (GPM), the equivalent of approximately 11 to 19 liters per minute (LPM).

CIRCOR International, Inc. announces that its brand Allweiler is expanding its screw pump portfolio. The SNA series will be expanded to include vertical pump configurations for installation in lube and hydraulic oil reservoirs. Allweiler’s goal is to increase the versatility and performance of the API 676-compliant SNA pump range to meet the individual needs of various industries and applications.

Celeros Flow Technology has launched an innovative sealing system – the CFT-Green Valve Packing System – which reduces fugitive emissions across pipelines and provides a safe and efficient sealing solution for valves. Engineers in the oil and gas, chemical, and power generation industries can now increase safety across their facilities and pipeline networks.

Parker Hannifin has introduced two new ranges of AC inverter drives that meet the latest requirements for the industrial market. Fitting between Parker’s existing AC10 and AC30 series, the AC15 and AC20 provide a rich set of features for a mid-range inverter family without the cost of ‘system drive’ features that are not always required. These include an onboard webserver, SD card slot, ‘Fire Mode’, two independent PID loops and multi-stage sequencing functions.
