Kentucky service centre gives US gearing support

Tough enough forsticky problems

High pressure diaphragm G10 now in steel and brass The Hydra-Cell G10 high pressure,

diaphragm pumps are now available

in a higher pressure version in both

stainless steel and brass options.

Manufactured by Wanner

Engineering, Hydra-Cell pumps are

heavy-duty pumps characterized by

their lack of dynamic seals, enabling

them to be used for liquid transfer,

metering, injection, spraying and

dosing of liquids including chemi-

David Brown, a gear engineering

company specialising in the supply

and servicing of gear products in

the world, has opened a service

centre in Debord, Kentucky, USA.

“The 50,000-square-foot assembly

and service centre will give

customers direct and local access

and adds to David Brown’s service

off ering in the Americas,” said John

McCarthy David Brown’s director,

energy. “We are focused on

providing our customers in the

Americas with vital local expert

gearing support. We will continue

to expand across the continent with

expectations of putting in another

service and assembly facility in the

Gulf Coast region specifi cally for oil

and gas customers.”

David Brown has developed a

global network of operations

including manufacturing facilities

in North America, Europe,

Australasia, Africa, China and sales,

service and support from 20

locations across fi ve continents.

David Brown has the capability to

manufacture industrial gear

products for the Americas through

its acquisition of Canada-based

Unigear in January 2012. The

company also has sales offi ces in

Sao Paulo, Brazil and Santiago,

Chile as well as a service center

Antofagasta, Chile with fi rm plans

to establish several more in the

region.

In 2011, a Flowrox E-series 70/6

progressive cavity pump was deliv-

ered in to Finland’s Stora Enso’s

Ingerois Oy board mill. It is the

world’s largest pressure ground-

wood mill, producing high-quality

mechanical pulp. The E-series 70/6

handles surface sizing glue to

produce multi-layered cardboard.

The E-series 70/6 and became the

fi rst Flowrox pump to be installed

there. Located in a tough

environment, the pump is

exposed to external irritants such

as alkaline washes. Regardless of

these tough conditions, the

E-series 70/6 has been working

without any problems since

installation and without any

requirement for maintenance.

Ingerois Board Mill, established in

1872, stands by the Kymi River in

the city of Kouvola, in the village

of Inkeroinen.

Longer seal and bearinglife in slurry pumping Ensival Moret, a specialist in the

design and manufacturer of

industrial pumps, has developed a

new product line of severe duty

solids handling pumps for the

aggregate, general, chemical, and

mineral processing industries.

The company’s manufacturing,

foundry and R&D teams have

developed the EMW-M extra

heavy-duty metal slurry pump and

the EMW-R extra heavy-duty

rubber slurry pump. The EMW-M is

manufactured from robust hard

iron solids, has optimized hydrau-

lics and attractive maintenance

features.

The EMW-R, the extra heavy-duty

rubber slurry pump, has elastomer

rubber components, off ers addi-

tional fl exibility and is designed

for pumping corrosive and non-

cutting abrasive slurries. The EMW

pump can be converted from

either the metal or rubber confi g-

urations in the fi eld

when conditions

dictate.

Ensival Moret’s EMW heavy-duty pumps are manufactured from robust hard iron solids.

Ensival Moret says that the EMW

heavy-duty pumps have a bearing

life of more than 50,000 hours and

off er shaft seals that are imperme-

able to outside contamination

from equipment wash downs.

Common and available bearings

are used to off er maximum

interchangeability.

The EMW pump range, reports

Ensival Moret, has been designed

with the latest in fl uid fl ow

modeling technologies and fi nite

element analysis, to create the

latest in slurry pumping tech-

nology off ering high hydraulic

effi ciencies for optimized wear life

performance in diffi cult solids

handling applications. The fl ow

capacity ranges up to 4000 m³/h

(17,600 US gpm) and head up to

100 m (330 ft).

cals, solvents, acids, hydrocarbons,

natural gas liquids, alkalis, polymers,

aqueous ammonia, resins, slurries,

wettable powders and more.

Conventionally the G10 has been

rated with a maximum pressure of

70 bar and a maximum fl ow rate

of 30 lpm (litres per minute). The

new versions, with modifi ed fl uid

end engineering, are now rated

with a maximum pressure of

100 bar at a maximum fl ow of

15 lpm, a modifi cation that should

open up many new applications.

Hydra-Cell multi-diaphragm pumps

are characterized by their lack of

dynamic seals and having no

dynamic seals also enables Hydra-Cell

to pump abrasives and dirty fl uids

that may contain abrasive particles.

The Hydra-Cell G10 is designed for transfer

pumping, dosing, injection and metering

applications where complete liquid

containment is essential.
