Standardised chemical Two new products pump for the global market in high-viscosity range KSB has developed a new range of standardised chemical pumps and plans to exhibit them at this year’s Achema.
an optimised single-piece bearing bracket, easy-to-service mechanical seals, fully confined casing gaskets and minimal axial thrust.
Barrel pump specialist FluxGeräte Gmbh has developed two new versions of its existing VISCOFLUX high-viscosity system.
(560 mm and 571 mm). On request, the system may be configured for other containers and drum diameters.
The new MegaCPK type series, an improved version of the CPK, CPKN and Megachem series, has a high output per size and very low energy consumption. At identical operating data and conditions the user can select smaller pump sizes, when compared with previous generations and competitor products. This will not only save energy during operation but will also reduce initial investment costs.
As with all KSB industrial pumps, the impeller diameter is matched precisely to the operating point, to help reduce energy required.
Viscoflux mobile is a standalone system which features the Viscoflux mobile drum emptying system which is designed to transports substances that are not freeflowing using the negative pressure created by an eccentric worm pump. The follower plate is automatically pulled down, hermetically sealing off the material to be transported. In this way, it helps ensure reliability even if the transferring process is interrupted. The flexible sealing lip system means that almost no material remains at the drum wall and the drum is emptied almost completely, leaving less than 1% residue (up to less than 2% in the case of aseptic bags).
The Pharma Food Cosmetic version of the Viscoflux mobile is a drum emptying system for high-viscosity fluids such as creams, ointment bases, tomato puree, condiment pastes and fruit sauces. The pumping unit with motor, pump and follower plate is easy to clean and various stainless steel components make the lifting system also resistant to aggressive cleaning agents. The doublelip variant is suitable also for conicaldrums, including with aseptic bags. The Pharma Food Cosmetic version is available for drum diameters of 560 mm and 571 mm and for conical drums with diameters of 550 mm at the top and 515 mm at the bottom.
In order to minimise the risk of cavitation, the pump has good suction behaviour at a low NPSH value and can run quietly and smoothly under tough operating conditions. Due to finite element analysis (FEA), a calculation method for structural simulation, it is possible to increase the pump sets’ rigidity. The pump also features
For special applications, a range of models and material variants are available, making it possible for the pumps to transfer fluids that require heating or cooling. Achema takes place from 18-22 June 2012 in Frankfurt, Germany.

Rapid acting air valve technology benefits
Viscoflux mobile has a mobile lifting device and a unit composed of motor, pump and follower plate which can be designed for each application. It can be transported without the help of a crane or fork-lift truck and has a compact design. It is suitable for the transfer of materials such as coating and casting compounds, pastelike substances, varnishes and fillers for two drum diameters

Industrial version of the Viscoflux system.
Verder family of AODD pumps.
Verderair are claiming that rapid acting air valves and design of air chambers make its Verderair AODD pump series one of the most efficient pumps of its kind on the market. Some pumps rely on electronics to change the continuous inlet stream of compressed air into a modulated inlet stream through. However, this method is not only expensive, but it can be inefficient and is only useful for 2 and 3 in pumps. www.worldpumps.com
For example, 1 in AODD pumps are often working at a stroke rate of 200 strokes/min, so even if the difference per stroke is limited this will have a major impact when pumps are running several hours a day. The rapid acting air valve technology of Verderair uses less compressed air without the need of expensive and difficult to maintain electronic components. www.verderair.com
Premium efficiency line with hybrid motor design WEG’s new WQuattro line of premium efficiency motors employs a hybrid design, which the company claims will achieve the highest efficiency in the market. The WQuattro line exceeds the requirements of the impending new energy classification of IE4 Super Premium Efficiency across its entire output range.
The environmentally-friendly motors have no energy (joule) losses from the rotors, so demands less energy from the grid. The motor integrates a conventional three-phase distributed winding, a rotor with an aluminium cage and internal high energy magnets. www.weg.net
