Challenge Issue Existing packing lasted only three days due to abrasive gypsum slurry in the fertilizer mineral manufacturing process. Shaft required replacement every few days. Root Cause Existing packing failed […]
Centrifugal pumps are reliable, low-maintenance pumps. They are worldwide good for > 40% of all fluid transfer in industry. The centrifugal pump has a very simple principle, due to centrifugal […]
Traditional altitude valve solutions DON’T cut it. In fact, they: Fail to provide adequate tank turnover and ensure water doesn’t stratify and stagnate Provide a drawdown of just 1-5 feet. Even […]
Compact, Seal-less Pumps Reduce Costs and Provide Dependable Performance With more than 40 years of experience serving the industry, including many of the major global companies, Hydra-Cell pumps are performance-proven […]
GRAPHALLOY, a graphite-metal alloy manufactured only by Graphite Metallizing Corporation, has long been used to provide reliability when pumping low-specific-gravity fluids or when “run dry” conditions occur. Successful applications include […]
Cavitation prevention and protection is an important consideration in the design and operation of valves used in water distribution systems. One should be able to determine if cavitation exists, and […]
Challenge At a paper plant, a critical hydrate slurry pump with a high concentration solids had infrequent high vibration which posed a threat to equipment reliability. The vibration expert could […]
An air-operated double diaphragm pump is a very reliable pump type and certainly very easy to operate and maintain. Nevertheless, there are a number of things that allow you to […]
1. Examine– Visually examine and clean flanges, bolts, nuts, and washers and make sure to replace any defective components, if necessary. 2. Lubricate– Lubricate bolt threads, nut threads & facing, […]
Backflow is the result of water flowing in the reverse or unwanted direction. This generally happens when the normal supply or upstream pressure in a pipe drops below the downstream […]
The technology used to produce metering pumps has barely changed in over a generation. As a result, conventional metering pumps have operational limitations and greater cost consequences. Hydra-Cell is not […]
