Durable, Seal-Less Pumps For High Or Low Pressure Duty

03 Jun 2013

When pumping applications involve corrosives, abrasives, slurries or non-lubricating liquids Hydra-Cell seal-less, high-pressure diaphragm pumps are an ideal choice. Available from MICHAEL SMITH ENGINEERS, the Hydra-Cell range of pumps are suited to both high and low pressure applications and combine rugged durability with exceptional pumping accuracy.The range covers flow rates up to 140 lit/min at maximum discharge pressures between 70 and 170 Bar, depending on the model. The absence of seals, cups or packing eliminates the issues associated with seal failure and therefore lowers maintenance costs. They can also be run dry without damage.

They have a compact, multi-diaphragm design which saves space and means that for most applications, there is no need for pulsation dampeners. Hydra-Cell are true positive displacement pumps and operate at hydraulic efficiencies over 85% and their output is better than API675 for repeatability, linearity and steady state accuracy.

The pumps are available in a wide choice of liquid end materials ensuring versatility in their ability to handle most 'challenging fluids' along with the flexibility to be adapted to a wide range of pumping duties.

They have a proven track-record of robust and reliable operation in applications such as; metering, dosing, injecting and spraying chemicals, solvents, acids, hydrocarbons, natural gas liquids, alkalis, polymers, aqueous ammonia, resins, slurries, recycled or dirty liquids.
