A range of Mono block pumps has been released by Hidrostal. Built round a 112 frame foot mounted motor, the new pumps offer a compact and cost effective solution for applications requiring a pump with good solids handling capabilities, in addition to the ability to handle viscous sludge and slurries. The screw centrifugal impeller pumps incorporate tandem shaft seal systems running in an oil bath, giving the pumps a dry running capability. These seal systems offer a distinct advantage over progressing cavity

m Multi-stage
pumps used in high pressure applications
Mono Pumps has extended the capabilities of its ‘E’ range progressing cavity pumps with the introduction of multi-stage pumps for high pressure applications. With a pumping capacity up to 60m3/hr and pressures up to 48 bar, the multi-stage ‘E’ range pumps are said to provide advantages on high-head or long delivery line duties, especially when handling aggressive media. These versatile pumps are also ideal where the nature of the product, high viscosity for example, coupled with the friction losses in the pipework create a high differ-
