An extremely powerful Unison all-electric pipe bending machine is helping Frank Mohn Piping to improve the production accuracy and throughput of complex large-bore hydraulic piping systems. The machine is also designed to help the company improve manufacturing efficiency by reducing the number of steps required to fabricate piping parts.
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.
With the HiPace family, Pfeiffer Vacuum has established a compact and powerful series in the analytical market.

Avantha Group Company Crompton (CG) launched a wide range of energy efficient pumps and SMS savvy devices to operate pumps for residential, agricultural, commercial and industrial applications. Pumps generally consume huge amounts of electrical energy and hence present a tremendous opportunity for energy savings.
Weir Minerals Africa has obtained consistently exceptional results after introducing a Warman SLR medium duty slurry pump on trial at Consol Industrial Minerals (CIM) in Cape Town more than a year ago. After 2,000 hours of operation the pump was opened for its first inspection, revealing that there had been no visible on the impeller or sealing arrangement.
In a study of a Danish wastewater treatment plant Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations shows a potential of energy savings of more than 50%. For submersible mixing in an activated sludge tank this can be realized by changing from medium speed small diameter propeller mixers to slow speed large diameter propeller flowmakers without altering the flow field in the tank.
