A new range of high pressure metering pumps which offer important features and benefits such as virtually pulse-free operation, consistent high accuracy and outstanding hydraulic efficiency, are now available from pumping specialists Michael Smith Engineers.
The significant benefits of using magnetically driven pumps such as; zero leakage, no wastage or environmental hazards along with extended pump life with longer service intervals, are being appreciated by many end-users in the process and chemical industries. A good example of these types of pumps is the extensive range developed by M Pumps and available exclusively in the UK through pumping specialists Michael Smith Engineers.
The extensive range of Thompson FTI Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pumps (AODD) has recently been expanded with the addition of new larger 3” models. Available in the UK from Michael Smith Engineers these new metallic models (the FT30A and FT30S) are available in stainless steel and aluminium and thanks to a suction and discharge size of 3” x 3” they are capable of delivering flow rates up to 908 lit/min and maximum discharge pressures of 8.3 Bar.
The extensive MZR range of low flow, miniature, positive displacement micro annular gear pumps provide precise, accurate and smooth, low pulse pumping and dispensing of a wide variety of liquids, including low and high viscosity fluids. Designed and manufactured to the highest standards by HNP Mikrosysteme in Germany and distributed in the UK by Michael Smith Engineers, the ultra-compact size and low mass of these pump and motor units ensure that they can be easily incorporated into the designs of many systems and are well suited to OEM applications.
The high performance range of Micropump leak free, pulseless magnet drive pumps are now available with all-new compact and lightweight electromagnetic brushless DC motors which provide increased torque and power. Available through Michael Smith Engineers the new EagleDrive EL and MS electromagnetic drives represent high performance drive options which extend the potential applications for the established Micropump range.
A new range of Hollow Rotary Disk pumps which are designed to operate at low speeds and handle more challenging liquids such as those with suspended solids or higher viscosities (up to 200,000 cSt) has been introduced by Michael Smith Engineers.
The benefits of using sealless, magnetic-drive pumps as opposed to conventionally sealed pumps for transferring hazardous and reactive fluids are well documented, and the Viking Universal Mag Drive Series of Internal Gear Pumps, is a good example of this type of pump. Available from Michael Smith Engineers the proven and reliable Universal Mag Drive series comprises nine sizes of pump providing flows up to 114m³/hr at pressures up to 14 Bar.
The latest addition to the established Micropump range of compact, lightweight pumps is the CA Series centrifugal pump from Michael Smith Engineers which is ideally suited to high-flow, liquid handling applications where magnetic drive, leak free pumping will be appreciated.
Minimising the potential for chemical and environmental hazards by eliminating pump leaks, reducing downtime and extending service intervals were the important challenges in a fluids recycling application at a leading refrigeration company. In this situation, the use of magnetically coupled vane pumps supplied by pumping specialists Michael Smith Engineers has proved successful in eliminating the contamination threat, reducing downtime and repair bills.
The successful application of magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps supplied by Michael Smith Engineers has helped a leading electronics manufacturer to achieve reduced downtime and repair costs, whilst contributing toward a safer working environment.
