Free trial demonstrates capabilitiesAllweiler AG is off ering customers a

free trial of its progressing cavity

pumps and peristaltic pumps. By

making this off er, Allweiler says it

intends to demonstrate the

benefi ts of using these pumps

under diffi cult conditions.

The equipment is suited to liquids

that are sensitive to pressure and

shearing forces, very thick liquids,

fl uids that must be pumped across

great distances without pulsation,

as well as liquids that contain a

large amount of solids or long

fi bres. In addition, the pumps can

be individually adapted to

substances with problematic

chemical or physical properties.

This promotional event, available

until the end of the year, is aimed

primarily at operators and builders

in the wastewater treatment,

chemical, cosmetics, pharmaceu-

tical, and food and beverage

industries. In particular, it is

intended for potential customers

who must overcome unusual

pumping tasks and desire an

effi cient, economical solution.

Allweiler will provide free analysis,

sizing, installation, and on-site

service throughout the trial period.

Water conservation installation projectGrundfos has installed eight pumps

at a new centre designed to

showcase renewable and sustain-

able materials for building and

water conservation projects.

As part of the Wolseley initiative,

the Sustainable Building Centre will

form a single point of contact for

data and information on the topic.

Four ALPHA2 pumps and four

MAGNA pumps were supplied to

the centre in Lemington Spa, UK.

Grundfos says these ‘A’ energy rated

pumps are equipped to meet

demand without compromising

either comfort levels or the

environment.

The Grundfos ALPHA2 domestic

circulator is designed for a variety

of domestic circulation heating

systems, having both variable

speed pressure controlled

operation, and standard selectable

three speed operation. Using

pressure controlled operation

power, the pump aims to reduce

consumption to as low as 5 W.

Also installed, the MAGNA range of

powerful pumps is designed to for

heating and air conditioning

systems in fl ats, hospitals, schools,

or industry.

Piston pumps dispenserThe Sensata® has been introduced

by Fluid Metering Inc (FMI). The

programmable dispensing system

uses precision stepper motors to

control a variety of the company's

valveless piston pumps.

The Sensata® has a range from 500

nanoliters per dispense to 2 l/min

continuous fl ow. The dispenser will

accommodate all FMI pump sizes in

both fi xed and adjustable displace-

ment confi gurations. The pump heads

are integrally mounted to the control

unit, which includes the stepper

motor drives as well as programmable

driver electronics. The system can be

confi gured to control either one or

two pump heads. For two pump

heads, each pump can be

controlled independently for dual

dispensing.
