Pumps handle cleaning fluids
Cleaning is essential in many industries, but as water becomes less available and solvents typically used in cleaning become more expensive, recycling becomes a cost/energy-efficient alternative.
To conserve energy, the use of more aggressive and effective cleaning fluids is increasing which results in reduced volumes being pumped. Furthermore, in order to reduce the volume of fluids required, today's cleaning systems typically operate at higher pressures with lower flows to ensure that effective cleaning is maintained.
These factors make the choice of the right pumping technology even more critical.
Hydra-Cell seal-less pumps from Michael Smith Engineers are highly effective for cleaning uses and are suited to handling recycled fluids or fluids containing particulates. These high pressure, positive displacement pumps have hydraulically balanced diaphragms and no rotating seals. Pump types which use seals are far less effective on these duties, says MSE, as their seals can be destroyed by particulates as small as 25 microns.
These pumps also suit other fluid handling tasks such as food processing, oil production/refining, machine tool cooling, spray drying and adhesives.
