We maintain our leading position by providing unique expertiseand outstanding worldwide support to our customers.

develop a vendorpartnership and preferredsupplier programme to ensurethat customers continue toreceive a first class service.

Constant innovationHMD/Kontro has a continual technology devel-opment programme to meet customers’changing needs and expectations. Newpump/drive designs and developments inmaterials continue to push back the operatingparameters of HMD/Kontro’s pump technolo-gy.

Since the company was founded, theHMD/Kontro brand has stood for design inno-vation and product excellence with a remark-able record of industry ‘firsts’ to its credit.From the world’s first ever glandless magnetdrive pump in 1947 to today’s radicaladvances.

HMD/Kontro has spent half a century perfect-ing and developing its drive designs and assuch offers a world of experience in all itsapplications to the chemical and hydrocarbonindustries. No other manufacturer in the worldis dedicated only to the further developmentand production of this type of process pump.This dedication and focus has establishedHMD/Kontro as the world’s leading manufac-turer.

Founded in 1946, HMD/Kontro has achievedinternational pre-eminence in the field ofpumping technology, especially in processesinvolving high temperatures, toxic, noxious,aggressive or valuable liquids.

Backed by the resources of the internationallyrenowned Sundyne Corporation since 1994,HMD/Kontro Sealless Pumps has a worldwidenetwork of trade partners and engineers.HMD/Kontro has developed a way of doingbusiness both domestically and internationallythat allows for rapid response to customerneeds.

The quality imperativeAs a quality-driven company, all our operationsare geared to assuring the reliable long-termperformance of our products; after all, that iswhat our reputation is built on.

HMD/Kontro

Because they can’t leak, Seallesspumps have long been the preferredoption for handling hazardous orenvironmentally threatening liquids.Our extensive range includes solu-tions for virtually every conceivableindustrial process application, how-ever demanding.

HMD/Kontro’s innovative design approachmeans that we continually push the bound-aries of flow, head, suction performance, tem-perature, system pressure and powercapability way beyond that of our competitors.

We can offer you:

Flow rate: beyond 1000m3/hr (4400 USG/pm)

Head: in excess of 200m (660ft)

NPSHR: in the region of 0.6m (2ft)

Temperature: From -100°C (-150°F) up to 450°C (840°F)

Pressure: up to 350 bar (5200psi)

Power: up to 350 kW (470 hp)

While the majority of our business lies in sup-plying standard pumps for typical customerapplications, the expertise we accumulate inour leading edge research and developmentenables continual refinement of our standardproducts.

SimplicityOur focus and dedication to the Sealless driveconcept has lead to simplicity of design result-ing in high reliability and a high degree ofcomponent interchangeability consequentlybringing a cost effective solution to inventorymanagement.

The pump requirements of your facil-ity will be determined by experi-enced HMD/Kontro specialists whoregularly undertake free initial sur-veys. High velocity manufacturing inour state of the art production unitmeans your needs will be met withextremely fast deliveries.

From that point onwards, you’re in safehands. Trained HMD/Kontro engineers ensurethat the pump is correctly installed and com-missioned. The HMD/Kontro team will workclosely with your planning and maintenancedepartments to ensure design, installation andstart-up schedules that will save money byeliminating expensive failures and unplanneddowntime.

The industries we cover have many needsranging from projects which may take severalyears from inception to completion; to abreakdown situation where order to receipt ofthe goods can be in a few hours.Understanding these needs and pressures hasallowed us to develop an approach that hasstructured all elements of our business to pro-vide the type of response you require.

Commitment to qualityIt is our attention to detail that madeHMD/Kontro one of the first pump companiesto achieve ISO9001 accreditation. For morethan 30 years, we have operated to DefenceQuality Standards for design and manufacture.HMD/Kontro pumps conform to the rigorouscriteria of the most quality-conscious multina-tional organisations.

tions, by the nature of the process, are consid-ered unique in their respective industries. Ourspecial design projects directed to meetingthese requirements constitute a significantpart of our production activity.

With over half a century of application andprocess experience we have logged a massive65,000 pumps sold into 14,000 applications.These cover industries and processes that youmay not have imagined applicable to seal lesspumps.

Examples of the many processes for whichHMD/Kontro seal less pumps provide idealsolutions include: refining, petrochemicals,speciality chemicals, pharmaceuticals, oleochemicals, plastics, agrochemicals, vegetableoil manufacture, food, brewing, nuclear, con-taminates, waste management, paints, dyesand inks, solvents, textile processing, hot oil,hot water, refrigerants and cryogenics.

HMD/Kontro has always operated onthe basis of an intensive and continu-ing dialogue with our customers.

With the introduction of ever-stricter legisla-tion, users are demanding leak-free processes.Sealless pumps, by design, have no seals – andafter years of continuous development, theirinherent design simplicity combines exception-al long-term reliability with minimum mainte-nance requirements.

We give customers the full benefit of our spe-cialised application experience gained overthousands of installations and listen carefullyto their particular process demands. Westrongly believe that the free exchange ofinformation between customer and supplier isthe key to solving any pumping challenge.

Specifying the best pump for any particularapplication requires a detailed technical under-standing of the process involved. Among themany variables to be considered is an in-depth evaluation of fluid properties includ-ing specific gravity, specific heat, viscosity,vapour pressure/ temperature rise, andpresence of dissolved gases.

By working in close co-operation withour customers, we anticipate theirchanging process requirementsand respond with new andbetter products to meettheir evolving needs.

when you want itWorldwide support

Simplicity, ease of maintenance and a vastinterchangability of components are built intoour designs. This means that you need onlymaintain minimal stocks of components inorder to service a significant population ofinstalled pumps.

This innovative and highly cost effectiveapproach comes from analysing the true lifecycle cost of a pump installation, rightthrough design, operation and maintenancephases.

With pressure being applied to achieve lessand less downtime, a whole life cycle studycan be of enormous benefit. It will highlightdifferent aspects of how your business evalu-ates its equipment needs. These initial evalua-tions are becoming paramount for life cycle

cost returns to be realised.

TrainingWe advise our customers to take part in ourtraining courses in design, installation, opera-tion, maintenance and unit protection of theirpump systems. We consider this essential ifusers are to maximise the life expectancy oftheir investment.

HMD/Kontro runs numerous training coursescovering all aspects of the technology, frombasics of pump construction to complete sys-tem evaluation.

Pump protection and monitoringTo protect your pump investment under unsta-ble process conditions, we provide a compre-hensive range of monitoring devices. These aredesigned to alert operators to states of processupset such as cavitation, low flow, dead head-ing, no flow, empty suction vessel and otherconditions.
