Bring in reinforcements
Hose pump family is even stronger than ever before The SPX100 is the latest and final addition to the advanced range of direct-coupled SPX hose pumps from Bredel. The SPX100 is the largest of all the SPX hose pumps, with a hose diameter of 100 mm. It has the capacity to pump 60 000 l/h while running at a nominal 50 rpm, and is also 25%
que direct coupled design The SPX range has the ability to handle abrasive slurries, corrosive acids, gaseous fluids, high viscosity mixtures and shear-sensitive materials, due to Bredel's precision engineered hose. This has made them suitable for numerous applications in the construction and building industry, and in minerals and metal processing.
stronger than its predecessors, thanks to improvements to the design of the pump housing and the incorporation of more reinforcing ribs. However, according to Bredel, it is also 15% lighter than conventional hose pumps due to the uni-
As the process fluid is contained entirely within the hose,
there are no seals, valves, diaphragms, glands, immersed rotors, stators or pistons to leak, corrode or replace. This makes the running costs and the total cost of ownership low in comparison to other pumping technologies. CONTACT

Super lift
Extra-high head achievement Sarlin says its Sky Range pumps now offer a single pumping station design for heads up to 110 m and for flows up to 300 1/s. Such performance is frequently required in applications where there is a high static head or very long pipework. Typically, the only way to generate super high head lift has been to connect two pumps in series or to construct an intermediate pumping station. The Sky Range resolves this problem by offering a single stage design option. This means reduced capital and maintenance costs, as fewer pumps means less servicing, fewer spare parts and fewer controls. Cost reductions are also achieved through optimization of the rising main. All the pumps are fitted with the SmartTrim externally adjustable impeller clearance system so that wear adjustment can be carried out quickly and simply on site. In addition, a special flexible neoprene seal ensures a 100% tight sealing between the discharge flange and the baseplate - and where there's no leak, there's no waste of energy. All the Sky Range pumps can be fitted with Sarlin's preventive maintenance devices, including the SARI 2 for automatic motor resistance monitoring, seal condition monitoring probes and bearing temperature sensors.
