RCT (Rubber Coated Tooth) couplings allow for both sub- critical operation and damping and thus offer the optimal drive solution for the connection of diesel engines to hydraulic pumps. They are particularly appropriate for all hydrostatic drives which are used for example, in construction machinery.

Chemicals always run out when you least expect it. This is now a thing of the past with the new continuous suction lances from ProMinent. Not only does the lance ensure that liquids are reliably withdrawn, it also monitors the current level at the same time.

The launch of the Maxthane pump tubing elements and confirmation of FDA and EC1935/2004 certification on Qdos pumps – will further enhance Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG)’s pump solution offering to food and beverage sector.

A starch and glucose producer in South Africa fitted Vesconite wear-resistant deflectors to its centrifugal pumps in 2019, and substantial maintenance, component and capital-cost savings resulted.

The popular Alfa Laval Twin Screw Pump comes in three new model sizes optimized to handle lower flow rates for hygienic applications across the dairy, food, beverage and home-personal care industries.

With SINULASTIC KTR introduces a new series of highly torsionally flexible disk couplings which was developed for use in diesel engine main drives for power generators (so-called gen sets), heavy construction machines, compressors, gearboxes and large hydraulic pumps.

Wilden announces the availability of its new Equalizer Surge Dampeners – Integrated SD Series (ISD) bolted metal option, which helps minimize vibration and control pipe hammer to protect the system piping and downstream instrumentation.

Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Group (WMFTG) is now offering the MasoSine Certa Plus process pump to meet a broad range of hygienic fluid handling applications in the cosmetics and personal care industries. These powerful, adaptable, easy-to-clean and energy-efficient pumps utilize a sinusoidal pumping action for exceptionally gentle product handling.

The Rotor and Drive Joint Access from SEEPEX for large standard pumps saves up to 80 percent in maintenance time.

Siemens is adding new servo motors to its proven Sinamics S210 single-cable servo drive system, thereby expanding its range of applications. Specifically, for use in the pharmaceutical and food industries, the company is launching the Simotics S-1FS2, a motor version with a stainless-steel housing, the highest degree of protection IP67/IP69, and high-resolution 22-bit absolute multiturn encoders.
