Taking existing process equipment into the industry-4.0-age: The new pump monitoring system called KSB Guard provides networked vibration and temperature sensors fitted directly to the pump to make availability at plant level transparent.

In response to customer requests, Wanner’s Hydra-Cell G35 pumps are now available to order with Nickel Alloy (Hastelloy CW12MW) wet ends.

More and more customers from the food sector, as well as the packaging and chemical industry want to fill up liquids not only from drums or containers but fill or dose them precisely in small vessels...

How intelligent modular vacuum pump systems minimize downtime and save costs – Innovations in vacuum technology deliver an important contribution to productivity in heat treatment, furnace construction as well as secondary metallurgy. Modern vacuum systems fulfill a number of requirements in order to save energy during the production of high quality steel and to reliably guarantee the required vacuum level.

Learn how a special type of pumping technology, positive displacement (PD) solid-body plastic air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps, possesses the design and construction features that are necessary to guarantee full containment of dangerous chemicals, while also offering working characteristics that enable the highest level of operational efficiency to be achieved.

How can operators ascertain whether a pump is deficient and a failure imminent? The traditional approach: Installing sensors, e.g. for structure-borne noise, pressure, temperature, flow, power consumption, bearing position, at critical points and continuously evaluating the collected data. For non-critical applications, there is an easier way: A drop in energy efficiency indicates a possible problem.

Maag, one of the leading global manufacturers of gear pumps, pelletizing and filtration systems, and pulverizers for demanding applications in the plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, has announced that it will exhibit the latest products for pharma applications for the first time in the company’s history.

Remote control and automation technology supports monitoring and control of distributed systems such as wells, reservoirs, sewers, pumping stations and water treatment plants from central control stations. This technology can also be installed as a retrofit using wireless or Internet links.

Maag, one of the leading manufacturers of gear pumps, pelletizing and filtration systems, and pulverizers for demanding applications in the plastics, chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries, has announced that it will be exhibiting at the upcoming NPE2018: The Plastics Show. Scheduled to take place on May 7-11, 2018 in Florida, the USA, the show is one of the leading events in the plastics industry bringing together over 65,000 professionals from 128 countries.

Minimizing cleaning times using an air-diaphragm pump and controller – When Greg and Jaimie Blanchard took ownership of Pro Chem Cleaning Systems, they immediately began modernizing the plant to improve productivity, efficiency and safety. These upgrades included replacing an outdated manual pumping system with an ARO EXP Series air-operated diaphragm pump and closed-loop controller. Among the outcomes, the plant reduced its tank filling time from hours to minutes, it received fully automated pumping solutions and also lowered certain safety risks. Now the company is getting ready to expand production and triple its capacity.
