Power end program
Sterling Fluid Systems has enhanced its Peerless Power End Program. The program replaces the existing power end on pumps with either a new or factory rebuilt unit at a fraction of the cost of a conventional rebuild. Users obtain a power end that is typically 20% to 30% less expensive than rebuilding and far less than a replacement. Installation often takes less than half an hour. They are available as a direct replacement or part of the Peerless Exchange program.

Vacuum pumps
A new line of compact, Multi-Stage Liquid Ring Vacuum Pumps from Tuthill Vacuum Systems features its patented Fluid-VacRegistered axial flow technology. The Kinney KLRT Series is designed for efficient, vibration-free operation with capacities from 10 to 92 cfm at 27 in. Hg vacuum. The C-Face motors close-coupled to the pump head eliminates the need for an inter-stage manifold and creates a very compact design. The axial flow of the inlet gas allows for safe starting even if the pump is flooded, making it ideal for wet vacuum applications.

Self-priming pumps
The Gorman-Rupp Company has introduced the Super T-Series of self-priming centrifugal pumps. Based on the respected T series solids-handling trash pumps, the new Super T series is designed to double impeller and wearplate life. The external adjustment of the shimless wearplate is as simple as a turn of the hand, with no need to realign belts, couplings and other drive components. Easy maintenance of the clearance between the impeller and wearplate decreases downtime and keeps the pump operating at maximum efficiency.

Immersible motor
Cornell Pumps "FCS" is an immersible motor. A cutting edge concept developed to replace the outdated "Dry-Pit Submersibles," its basic design is a premium efficiency, inverter duty, P-base or C-face, TEFC motor. This allows for frame mounting as well as close coupled. A "Navy"-style conduit box prevents water leakage up to 30 ft. of submergence for a two-week period. Tandem lip seals, a dished end bell and expeller are used to seal the bottom portion of the motors in the event of a flood. Class F or class H insulation protects against excessive internal heat. The top of the motor is sealed with mating fittings using O-rings and vulcanizing compound to prevent leakage. The motor shaft does not protrude through the top plate to drive the fan. A blower motor of Wash-Thru design drives the external fan that cools the motor in a dry state. Float switches turn the blower on and off as flood waters rise and recede.

Foldable disposable respirators
MSA offers its Affinity® foldable respirators for additional convenience of a vertical flat-fold design. The respirators are divided vertically, which delivers a more correct face seal. A pre-shaped nose band makes for easier contour adjustments to achieve a snug fit. The smooth inner lining provides a tight seal and a soft, comfortable fit. An optional exhalation valve with low exhalation resistance removes hot exhaled breath, making the respirator cooler and easier to wear over time. The nuisance-odor-removal option provides relief during pungent-smelling applications. The latex-free respirators feature fixed head straps for easier donning. The respirators come individually wrapped in a wall-mountable dispenser box.

High head pumps
ABS introduced its new series of HiLift pumps for applications where the head is high but the flow is relatively low. This can arise if the static lift is high or where the pipeline is very long, leading to high friction losses or a combination of these circ*mstances. Applications for the new submersible pumps include screened or unscreened sewage, dewatering in underground areas, wash down systems, water abstraction from lakes or rivers, quarries and leachate from landfill sites. The pumps especially are suitable for stormwater where high heads are needed. The pumps are available for pumping up to 246 ft. in 50 Hz or 280 ft. in 60 Hz. The range goes from 3.5 kW to 23 kW and is offered in both standard and explosion-proof versions. The HiLift range comprises DN 65, DN 80 and DN 100 versions with solids passage of 13/4in. or 2in.. The pump's patented ContraBlock system includes an open single or multiblade impeller that revolves on a spiraled groove, and ensures that solids or fibers are processed through the pump without blockage.
