Valve cuts energy costs
WORLD PUMPS

Minichem range delivers aggressive chemicals pump, designed for the low-end aggressive chemical duty range market. “The new Minichem [is] a totally new and unique pump which though based on our existing ‘one-nut’ air operated double diaphragm pump design is machined from one solid block of PTFE, removing the need for an outer steel or carbon casing and for separate manifolds,” said Leighton Jones, Flotronic director of technical sales and service.
The Flotronic Minichem for aggressive chemical applications.
UK-based pump manufacturer Flotronic Pumps has developed the Minichem
The pump can transfer aggressive chemicals and other hazardous materials at low 50 l and 100 l flow rates through ½ in and 1 in connections, with no manifold seals and therefore no obvious leak paths. www.flotronicpumps.co.uk
Diaphragms offer increased air efficiency Verder has developed a new series of Verderair diaphragm pumps: the VA25 diaphragm pump range. “Based heavily on the existing Verderair VA concept, for its reliability, the new series offers lower pulsation, less air consumption and a higher fluid output,” said Mike Heap, Verder sales director. According to Heap, engineers using the Verderair 25 can benefit from 30% better air efficiency than the competition, 20% flow increase and will last five times longer. The Verderair VA25 diaphragm pump is suitable for a range of applications including drum fluid
transfer, unloading fluids, chemical evacuation, ceramic glaze supply, dewatering and sump evacuation and repackaging of fluids from an original container to smaller receptacles. www.verder.co.uk
Valve cuts energy costs GF Piping Systems has developed a diaphragm valve which is says can deliver energy savings of up to 50%. The valves’ inner walls feature improved contours which reduce turbulence, making it possible to double the flow rate. The company gives an example of a piping system in which 50 diaphragm valves are installed, claiming that while conventional-design valves can consume about 50 611 kilowatt hours of electricity each year in the mathematical model, the
new diaphragm valves use only 24 827 kilowatt hours in the same configuration. There are also much lower pressure losses during operation and the valves have a longer life because they are more resistant to corrosion and abrasion. These valves can handle any fluid, and are suitable for applications including from the chemical process industry, microelectronics and water treatment or cooling. www.piping.georgfischer.com www.worldpumps.com
