A long-term customer, who operates within the chemical manufacturing industry, approached us because they needed to modernise and improve control over their tanker unloading processes. Their existing systems operated by either using the “blowing method” or relying on pumps mounted on the tankers and weren’t particularly reliable, consistent, or safe,
Chemical pumps improve the performance of your fume scrubbers!
It’s a bold statement, but true. Industrial ventilation plays a key role in workplace safety and regulatory compliance in manufacturing plants. Industries like chemical processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and metalworking rely on robust (and reliable) ventilation systems to remove harmful
What You Need to Know
Moving thousands of litres of valuable spirits through various production stages each day, pumps are at the core of alcohol manufacturing and distilleries. A single pump failure can completely stop production, compromise product quality, and result in significant financial losses for UK distillery operations.<br
Plastic extrusion is a widely used manufacturing process in the plastics industry requiring precise vacuum control for peak performance. Unsurprisingly, liquid ring vacuum pumps are a particularly effective solution for maintaining consistent vacuum levels throughout the process. These systems perform across multiple applications, from degassing and drying to thermoforming and…

Why the Solids Handling Mag Drive Pump Could be the Right Choice
Magnetic drive centrifugal pumps have always faced a significant technical barrier – their inability to handle solid-containing fluids effectively. Pump operators have had to rely heavily on mechanical seals and complex flushing systems, resulting in substantial maintenance
Choosing the Right Pump for Solvent Manufacturing
Chemical pumps play an important role in solvent manufacturing so we thought we would take the opportunity to look into the different types of pumps utilised by the industry. From handling corrosive substances to ensuring precise measurements, chemical pumps have a significant
As a leading provider of fluid handling solutions, we’re committed to helping our clients understand and overcome common challenges in pump operations. One challenge, that becomes a critical issue affecting pump performance and longevity is cavitation.
Cavitation in Pumps
Cavitation happens in pumps when the liquid being moved
It’s always important to make sure your magnetically driven centrifugal pumps run smoothly and efficiently. However, one common issue that can lead to catastrophic pump failure is dry running. When pumps are operated without sufficient lubrication, the resulting friction generates excessive heat, damaging critical components such as the bearings. One…
