Pumps and Valves

A dry screw vacuum pump offering lower lifecycle costs, higher productivity, less energy consumption and easy maintenance has been launched by Atlas Copco’s Industrial Vacuum division with the DHS 065-200 VSD+. Built for rapid cycling and continuous operation applications, the DHS VSD+ is a truly clean, zero contamination dry vacuum pump that requires no water or oil cooling.

The NEW Cole-Parmer Console Gear Pump Drive is compact and cost-effective, offering simple variable speed control for many fluid handling applications. When coupled with an appropriate gear pump head, this new drive handles system pressures up to 21 bar, differential pressures greater than five bar, and flow rates as high as 5,850mL/min.

Built for rapid cycling and continuous operation applications, the DHS VSD+ from Atlas Copco’s is a clean, zero contamination dry vacuum pump that requires no water or oil cooling. Certified as oil-free in the category ‘Class Zero' according to ISO standard 8573-1 the pump is free of oil emissions, including aerosol oil content in the outlet air stream.

Aiming to minimise the complexity of process control projects in a number of industries; from water to food and beverage and pharma, Bürkert has increased its product range and its UK stock-holding. Bürkert now holds a wide variety of the more common valve designs including ball valves, butterfly valves and quarter-turn valves in standard sizes on the shelf.

As part of its global focus on factory automation, Parker Hannifin, has added an expanded range of features and capabilities to its H Series ISO valve platform (with flow ranging from Qn 540 to 5,900Nl/mn). Designed with a new universal manifold, the H Series ISO valves provide the opportunity to mix ISO 02, 01, one and two valve sizes on one common manifold without transition blocks.

Two new part numbers have been added to Mark Water Pumps’ PROFLOW range of automotive water pumps, boosting support for modern Land Rover and VAG Group applications. As a major water pump supplier to OEMs, users can be confident of a component that offers a long service life and OEM levels of performance.

As the long cold winters are being predicted, Chris Lloyd, Managing Director of Spelsberg UK, is recommending that owners and operators of industrial plants take pre-emptive action before the weather turns bad by checking existing equipment. He has suggested that installing thermostats and trace heating is a simple and cost-effective way to ensure operations are not brought to a standstill by the sub-zero temperatures that are sure to hit the UK.

For Marstons brewery in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire, replacing control valves on the main chiller system would improve reliability. However, the process control components were initially looking expensive - that is until a call to Burkert revealed a much more cost-effective solution. Replacing ageing equipment or expanding a production line are suitable opportunities to take stock of new technologies and how they can improve productivity and reduce project costs. 

Producing high quality champagne takes time and expertise; ensuring consistent quality requires precision process control and a reliable infrastructure. For CRVC (Coopérative Régionales des Vins de Champagne) the installation of a special disgorging line requires a high level of support, which was delivered through a partnership with Bürkert.

Worldwide supplier of pumping solutions for chemical engineering applications, Allweiler, a CIRCOR International brand, has introduced the EMTEC-C next generation three-screw pump, which removes abrasive machine chips, particles and heat away from cutting surfaces in high-pressure machine tool coolant service.
