Epsilon range with reduced dimensions Mono NOV has launched Epsilon, a new range of industrial progressing cavity pumps that is more compact than the company’s existing E range. The pumps also share components with the company’s Mono Compact C Range. The Epsilon range is available in a choice of cast iron or stainless steel materials and has reduced overall dimensions. It
incorporates Mono’s Flexishaft drive transmission and the new Flexishaft drive clamp, which makes assembly straightforward and rapid. A one-piece sleeve protects and seals the drive joint assembly from contamination. The range has been designed to suit the water and wastewater, food and beverage, pulp and paper, chemical and pharmaceutical, mining and
mineral, oil and gas and agriculture industries.

Dri-Prime solids handling from Godwin Godwin Pumps has launched two new pumps in its Dri-Prime solids handling range, the Godwin DriPrime CD140M and CD180M. The new, solids-handling 4 in x 4 in CD140M and 8 in x 6 in CD180M portable diesel pumps offer both elevated heads and solids handling capabilities without sacrificing flow rate, the company says. The CD140M pump has total dynamic heads to 280 ft, solids handling to 3 in diameter and flows to 1,100 GPM. The CD180M pump has total dynamic heads to 280 ft, solids handling to three in in diameter and flows to 2,000 GPM.
says Godwin president, John Paz. “These pumps achieve elevated heads without sacrificing solids handling capabilities, which is what the municipal market demands.”

“We have found that with the construction of new home communities throughout the United States, more and more lift stations require more pressure to feed out to the force main, which is probably an already crowded line,”
The CD140M and CD180M pumps are automatic selfpriming Dri-Prime pumps with the ability to prime and re-prime from dry. Featuring an oil bath mechanical seal, the pumps run dry without damage and are suitable for intermittent flow conditions associated with bypass pumping and back-up municipal lift station applications.
Combi series increases vacuum performance Busch has developed a range of vacuum units which it says make it possible to improve vacuum performance without necessarily installing more primary vacuum pumps. The Combi Series has a range of possible combinations that use a mix of roots-type pump and ‘backing’ vacuum pump which can reduce evacuation times and improve ultimate pressures and pump capacity. They can handle a variety of working pressures and capacities, and each vacuum unit can be individually configured to the process conditions and the gas/media to be handled. The vacuum units can be used in a wide range of industries and in all vacuum ranges from

atmospheric pressure down to less than 3 x 10-3 hPa. Standard pump configuration capacities up to 4,000 m3/hr can also be achieved, while greater capacities and ultimate pressures can be catered for through bespoke designs. The Combi units come in two configurations: the booster

pump directly flanged to the inlet of the ‘backing’ pump or both booster and ‘backing’ vacuum pump mounted on a common base frame. Both designs are said to offer an extremely compact footprint compared to large capacity stand-alone pumps. The ‘backing’ vacuum pump can be either the R 5 Series oillubricated rotary vane pump or the COBRA rotary-screw vacuum pump which is said to provides a totally dry-running solution. The Combi units can be used in a wide range of applications and industries including metallizing and PET coatings, glass and foil coatings, optical coatings, heat treatment furnaces and chemical and pharmaceutical applications.
Dab expands in-line water pump range Italian pump manufacturer Dab Pumps has widened its range of in-line pumps with the new inline CME and CPE pumps. The company’s current range of CME DN 40-50 will remain for the moment unchanged. The in-line CME and CPE circulation pumps for hot or cold water with in-line connectors are suitable for direct installation to pipes in civil and industrial heating, conditioning, cooling and domestic water. They are versatile, due to the incorporation of the company’s Hydrodriver technology which offers performance features that can automatically adapt to the various system requirements, while keeping differential pressures constant.
Fire pump motor meets latest standards GE Motors has developed a 460-volt fire pump motor from GE Motors which complies with the latest standard of the US National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) for the installation of stationary pumps for fire protection (NFPA20). The 5 to 200 horsepower motor, which has been designed for centrifugal fire pump applications, also meets the special design and testing requirements for UL-listing of fire pump applications. The three-phase electric motor is rated for 40°C ambient air and has a 184T-445TS frame and a 4 pole design. It incorporates a ball bearing system, which is available in an open or shielded capacity, and a cast-iron construction, including the frame and endshields. It uses a Wye-Delta part winding start, which is rated at 230/460, 460 volt (at 60 Hz) and 190/380, 380 volt (at 50 Hz). It has Class F insulation materials to help protect critical components from heat.
