From May 5 to 7, 2025, experts from the pump industry met in Graz for the 28th Practitioner Conference. The focus was on solutions for increasing energy efficiency, innovative technologies, and sustainable concepts for industrial applications. The conference demonstrated that pumps are not only central components of technical systems, but also key factors in the transformation toward greater sustainability.
utz-Jesco GmbH, a leading provider of chemical dosing technology, is proud to announce the acquisition of the FXM line of peristaltic metering pumps from Valmet. This strategic move enhances Lutz-Jesco’s portfolio and strengthens its global presence in industrial and municipal fluid handling markets.
Newly formed teams quickly discover that there are plenty of synergies to be explored. This also holds true for the partnership between South American beverage multi Postobón and KHS – which in a very short time indeed has yielded not one but three filling lines featuring various block systems.
Being able to provide perfect water quality levels in swimming pools that are very busy can be a challenge. However, full compliance with all prescribed setpoints, such as combined chlorine or chlorate, must be ensured at all times. The AQWA Pool and Sauna Park in Walldorf, Germany, therefore uses measuring and control technology from ProMinent.
ViscoTec works with more than 30 distributors worldwide. Some of them have been important partners for ViscoTec for a long time, including the Danish company Scanmaster which has been distributing ViscoTec products since 2017. Henning Pedersen, Managing Director of Scanmaster, has familiarized himself with ViscoTec’s pump and dosing technology in a very short time.
In the future, users who operate a stand-alone dispenser can monitor and evaluate their pressures in the dosing process. This is made possible by the flowplus-MONITOR QC analysis unit, which can be used flexibly thanks to its two channels.
Metering technology manufacturer ProMinent has won the highest distinction – the iF DESIGN AWARD 2023 Gold – and is now one of the top winners of the world-renowned design label. The award was presented to the winners at a glamorous ceremony in Berlin.
ProMinent has now had all its low pressure metering pumps certified for food contact under Regulation (EC) 1935/2004. The company can therefore provide solutions for applications in which materials and objects come into direct contact with foodstuffs.
Andreas Zühlcke has been in charge of “Product Management & Marketing” at the metering technology manufacturer ProMinent since September 2022. As a member of the Executive Board, he is responsible for marketing communication, strategic marketing and product management with the areas of metering technology, measurement and control technology, water treatment technologies as well as digital products and services.
Filling nail gel is one of the more complex applications due to the viscosity of the material. Nail gel is a chemically aggressive, UV-reactive modeling material that only hardens with the aid of UV light. With the vipura-PUMP 10T, ViscoTec has now developed a dosing technology that does equal justice to the high viscosity and the enormously stringy behavior of nail gels.
The dosing technology specialist from Töging is now represented in Asia with a total of four branches and can thus fully serve this broad market.
