The Finish Thompson FTI AIR range of Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pumps (AODD) has been expanded following the introduction of new models in materials which are FDA compliant. Available from Michael Smith Engineers these new pump options are made from Polypropylene and 316 Stainless Steel so they are ideal for food, beverage, pharmaceutical and cosmetic fluids handling applications.
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.
Drum or barrel emptying pumps are acknowledged as being the most reliable and efficient device for transferring acids, corrosives and chemicals from container-to-container, and certainly a much easier, more practical alternative to hand pumps.
A comprehensive range of Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pumps (AODD) which represent one of the most reliable, rugged and affordable of their type available on the market have been introduced by Michael Smith Engineers.
The benefits of using sealless, mag-drive (magnetically driven) pumps in extreme fluids handling applications are well documented. Quite simply, where fluids handling applications involve hazardous, hard-to-handle chemicals, mag-drive pumps are designed to provide reliable,leak-free operation, with no environmental emissions, no double mechanical seal costs and no need for seal-support systems.
How do you transfer liquids from drums and barrels safely and cleanly when you have no electrical or air supply available to drive the pump motor and manual, hand-operated pumps are not an option?
The Finish Thompson UltraChem Series of ETFE lined centrifugal pumps has recently been extended with two new models which increase the maximum flow rates up to 160 m3 /hr and maximum differential heads to 67 metres. Engineered for extreme reliability UltraChem magnetic drive, sealless pumps are ideal for pumping hazardous, hard-to-handle chemicals in chemical processing, water treatment and other similar challenging applications.
Effective immediately, Richard Thompson has been appointed Vice President, Ebara Fluid Handling Division (FHD) and will assume full management and overall operations of the division.
Voith has won the “PR Bild Award 2014” (“PR Picture Award 2014”). On November 13, the photograph of a Voith Francis runner was declared the winner of the PR Bild Award.
Reliable, leak-free and low-maintenance pumping is essential (though often taken for granted) in many process applications, even when ‘challenging’ liquids like corrosives are being transferred. The Finish Thompson SP series of magnetic drive, self-priming centrifugal pumps are ideal for these situations as they provide the combination of fast, reliable and powerful performance with corrosion-resistant materials that withstand the rigours of the most demanding applications.
