Multi-product offering is aim of new division Monash University, Australia, and has more than 25 years experience in industrial pumps. Marcus Sampson, Valvestock trading manager, said: “Andy brings a wealth of experience, market knowledge and drive to help develop our ambitions in the industrial pumps market.”
“We see huge opportunities,” says Andy Walsh.
Valvestock, the specialist valve and actuator arm of Pipe Center, has established an industrial pumps division to target specialist requirements of large-scale projects in the UK, support OEMs and also deliver a unique multi-product offering to industrial end users. The new operation is being headed by Andy Walsh, who joins Pipe Center from pump manufacturer Ebara. Mr Walsh is qualified in fluid engineering from
Its packaged lift station is aimed for applications ranging from drainage and effluent pumping to heavy-duty sewage pumping. Although other packaged lift stations require a concrete base to prevent floating, Grundfos’ polyethylene design withstands uplift caused by high groundwater levels. The range of KPL submersible axial-flow propeller pumps are
Specialist sectors targeted include power generation, food and beverage, water and waste, iron and steel-making, industrial boiler feed, and quarrying and mining.
Customers will benefit in terms of productivity and process security in several ways, Maag says, making the new pumps more versatile than previously.
“We see huge opportunities for assisting clients with new and replacement pump projects,” said Mr Walsh.
An improved volumetric efficiency makes it possible to operate at reduced rpm, shear rates and temperatures, and consequently a narrower residence time distribution. The company says the advantage of enhanced pump geometry will be welcomed by manufacturers of easily degradable products, in particular during degassing
designed for flood control and heavy-duty pumping applications. The pump’s compact, high-efficiency design makes it possible to reduce the physical size of the pumping station by up to 20%, saving significant construction costs. The range also features a self-cleaning hydraulic design that provides superior non-clogging performance. Equipped with a polyethylene tank and chemically resistant accessories, Grundfos’ configurable dosing tank station (DTS) is designed for storing and precisely dosing a wide variety of liquid chemicals. www.grundfos.com

Maag Pumps Systems has introduced its sixth generation series of pumps and unveiled a new gear pump portfolio of products which delivers up to 50% higher performance.
Mr Walsh will work alongside valve specialists Stuart Coggan and Steve Ohm and export co-ordinator Lee Wilson, on industrial pump projects in key sectors.
WEFTEC debuts included new packaged lift station Grundfos unveiled a number of new water utility and dosing products, including a packaged lift station, KPL axial-flow pumps and configurable dosing tank station, at October’s WEFTEC show in Chicago.
Sixth generation gives up to 50% higher performance
The company has redesigned every component featured in its pump portfolio, from gears and shafts through to bearings and seals, fine-tuning its components interaction, culminating in a system, it claims, with a new ‘industry-leading price/performance ratio’.

stages where minimum fill levels translate into reduced residence time. Due to the enhanced pressure capabilities, finer filter meshes can now be used and a higher volumetric efficiency and fewer pulsations guarantee a constant quality and output of the final product. The portfolio is comprised of multiple sizes covering throughput ranges from a few kg/h up to 100 t/h, with application-optimised design options. Sizes 250 and above are available, while others will be introduced in 2014. www.psgdover.com/en/maag
Europump 2014 will have packed social programme The British Pump Manufacturers Association, which will host next year’s Europump Annual Meeting at the home of golf, St Andrews, in Scotland, has launched its dedicated website for the event – http://europump2014.com. The Meeting, which is being staged at the Fairmont St Andrews Resort during 22-24 May, will include a programme of seminars, workshops and presentations, and topics such as directives, standards, market reports and other business initiatives will be covered. As well as the event’s ‘National’ and ‘Gala’ evenings, latest details reveal the
extensive ‘partner programme’, including the award-winning afternoon tea overlooking the Old Course at St Andrews, a trip to The Hill of Tarvit, one of Scotland’s finest Edwardian mansion houses, lunch at the world famous Sea Food Restaurant, a cocktail master class and a Falconry Display. Additionally, following the General Assembly, there will be the opportunity to participate in a golf contest, sponsored by WEG Electric Motors, played on one of the hotel’s championship courses. www.europump2014.com
