Oil cooled line for submersible solids handling pumps Pentair Flow & Filtration Solutions has expanded its hydromatic premium efficiency (HPE) solids handling pump range to include 320 and 360 motor frames up to 150HP. Pentair says that the HPE
Productivity gains through automatic lubrication
series represents the first oilcooled line of submersible solids handling pumps on the market. According to the company, this is designed to provide municipal customers with a lower cost of ownership, longer life and reduced maintenance costs. Pentair says that the Class-H oil filled motors run up to 40°C cooler than competitive premium efficiency air cooled motors, leading to longer motor life and less downtime. Premium efficient motors are designed to provide improved wire to water efficiencies, resulting in estimated annual energy savings of up to $6,000 when compared to a pump with a standard motor.
The HPE solid handling pump range now includes 320 and 360 motor frames up to 150HP.

The HPE Solids Handling Pumps are also designed to help users reduce maintenance costs. Pentair says that the hydromatic seal leak probes provide early moisture detection warnings to help minimize unplanned maintenance costs. A shaft grounding ring protects against variable frequency drive induced currents to prevent premature bearing shaft failure. www.pentair.com
The H1900 LubePro pump is designed to improve the productivity of plant maintenance staff by allowing remote filling. Graco Inc. has introduced a new member of the LubePro™ range of injector-based automatic lubrication pumps, the H1900 oil pump. The company says that the H1900 LubePro pump is designed to improve the productivity of plant maintenance staff by allowing remote fill - eliminating the need to fill pump oil reservoirs individually around the plant. Graco adds that the H1900 LubePro pump is built from the same components as the A1900 pump, but instead of a refillable reservoir, it is designed to connect to a permanent oil header line and is filled from a remote mounted lubrication fill station.
According to the company, the H1900 LubePro pump is most commonly used to lubricate machines used in stamping, can production, glass production, machine tool, tyre production and automation machinery. The company claims that the pump is easy to install, provides high lube output and improves the productivity of plant maintenance staff. Other features of the H1900 LubePro pump are claimed to include higher lube output and frequency, factory-installed low level detection, and maintenance productivity. www.gracolubepro.com
Comeo C is approved for drinking water KSB Aktiengesellschaft has made an addition to the Comeo type series. The company says the pumps are compact and cost-effective and are designed for an operating pressure of 10 bar. KSB adds that they are designed for water supply and treatment, small pressure booster systems as well as in light industrial applications. The stainless steel variant Comeo C is ACS and WRAS approved for drinking water applications.

The company adds that the suction and discharge nozzles are cast as a single piece with a choice of stainless steel – 1.4308
(Comeo C) or grey cast iron JL1040 (Comeo G). Depending on the required discharge pressure, the pump sets are equipped with two, four or six stages. The close-coupled design is claimed to absorb external

piping forces and is suitable for installation in confined spaces. The pumps can be either operated by 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase current for the close-coupled motors. The drive rating ranges from 0.37-2.2kW. A 60 Hertz version is also available for countries outside Europe. The pumps handle ambient temperatures of -15 C to +55°C. www.ksb.com
