The demands placed on soap and detergents manufacturers are various: reliably produce the products on which consumers have grown to rely, be versatile enough to handle new products or formulations, and do […]
In these days of shrinking budgets and under-threat bottom lines, finding the most efficient way to run a manufacturing operation is of the utmost importance. One way that savvy facility […]
The term ‘screw pump’ is often used generically. However, this generalization can be a pitfall as it fails to recognize the different product or ‘screw’ configurations, as well as the uses, advantages and […]
Waterhammer is a real life example of one of the fundamental laws of Physics ‐ ‐ the conservation of energy. It is a force that can arise in any pumping […]
This is the first of a two part column that addresses two of the major causes of premature pump and motor failure. Although it specifically addresses submersible wastewater pumps, it […]
We will look at the electrical side of the system and its effect upon motor life.
Frequently, two-screw pumps are a “last resort” because they can be a higher investment cost than centrifugal technology and are less known – but these factors should not be an engineer’s only criteria […]
For more than 70 years, Colfax has been working with the commercial marine industry to keep pace with changing compliance and regulation demands, as well as helping the industry meet evolving […]
Finding the proper pump for a specific production process requires a lot of legwork. Different pump modes of operation must be considered—from positive displacement to centrifugal to peristaltic, for example—along […]
The self priming centrifugal pump is designed to lift water from some level below the pump suction without having to fill the suction piping with liquid. It accomplishes this by […]
A major global chemical company found itself facing costly condensation leaks at its Canadian isopropyl alcohol manufacturing facility. Not only did water condensing into a lubricant tank have to be drained up to three […]
