Portable corrosion-proof pump housing that does not corrode like aluminium casings when handling caustic liquids. The pump can handle everything from salt water to agricultural and industrial chemicals and offers the perfect solution to operators that need to handle a wide variety of liquids with a minimum amount of equipment. The pump can shift up to 833 1/ min and is powered by Honda's legendary 4-stroke technology, making it one of the quietest and cleanest units available on the market.

Honda (UK) has just released the latest addition to its range of pumps. The WMP20X is a multipurpose pump that can be used in a multitude of applications that

would cause irreparable damage to conventional water pumps. The pump has a rugged glass-fibre reinforced polyester

"We have looked long and hard at our key markets and developed a product that is easy to use, easy to clean and offers market leading features. Ideal for small to medium scale liquid handling

applications, the WMP20X can move large quantities of often hazardous chemicals quickly and safely," says Tom Gardner, Marketing Manager for Power Equipment at Honda (UK). Primary target applications for the new pump are saltwater fishermen, fish breeding, oyster farming, boat repair and washing, agricultural chemicals, fertitisers, insecticides, weed killers, road maintenance, horticulture, and municipalities; industrial chemicals, liquid waste, foaming products (fire extinguishers), and mild acids and alkalis (pH 4-9).

Energysaving

Stock motors in Eft1 A new motor construction is helping ABB become the first motor manufacturer to launch a full range of stocked motors in the highest European efficiency class, Effl. The M3000 motor is a fundamentally new construction with improvements to nearly all major components. Its main features are high efficiency, high reliability, easy installation and a wide range of add-on extras, for instance improved bearing condition monitoring. ABB is also launching a new range in the Eff2 class, designated M2000. This is a range of motors with standard features that has been designed for applications with shorter running hours. All motors in the Eff3 class have been phased out, two years ahead of European Union guidelines. "The two ranges enable us to satisfy the requirements whatever the application," says Sven

in the chemical, paper, metal and cement industries, where energy consumption and reliability are major factors. It will also be useful for critical pumping and ventilation applications in the power generation, building services, mining, steel, medical and livestock sectors.

"For the user, being able to source the entire motor population from one manufacturer, regardless of individual application requirements, has additional advantages for servicing and warranties," Sjoberg adds. Access to two distinctive motor ranges will also be of use to OEMs, as they often have one standard and one premium range of their products. The new motor ranges from ABB Automation will widen the choice for OEMs.

Reliability has been improved and maintenance reduced by a new bearing assembly that improves the cooling of the bearings. In combination with the lower overall temperature of the motor, this has extended the bearing lifetime by 25% and the re-greasing intervals by 50%.

M3000 is designed for demanding continuous processes, such as pumps, stirrers and grinders

The M3000 range is available in IEC sizes 160-400, 11-710 kW, in cast iron, and sizes 63-250, 0.t8-75 kW, in aluminium, All Eft1 motors will be available from stock. Motors in the M3000 range that are not subject to the European efficiency labelling

scheme, i.e. below 1.1 kW, above 90 kW or with 6 or 8 poles, still show efficiency figures consistent with those motors within the scheme. The M2000 range is available in IEC sizes 71-250, 0.25-55 kW, in cast iron, and in sizes 56-100, 0.06-3 kW, in aluminium. The improved efficiency will have a significant impact on running costs. For instance, a 90kW ABB motor with 95% efficiency can save nearly ~g20000 over its life cycle compared to a competitor's motor with 92% efficiency, assuming continuous duty at a tariff of @0.08/kWh and a 10 year service life.
