Caprari triples compact pump capacityCaprari Pumps has tripled the

capacity of its compact pumps

from 60 to 180 kW. The company

has also extended the pumps’

configuration to 60 Hz.

The increase in performance range

gives capacity values up to 800 l/s

and dynamic head values of up to

65 m. The new single and double

channel hydraulics comply with

the requirements of large

wastewater treatment plants.

Caprari says that the pumps are

now compliant with the ATEX

directives CEI/EN60079-0 and

CEI/EN60079-1 for the company’s

K+ series motors with power

ratings of up to 32 kW/2 poles

for sewage applications requiring

explosion-proof pumps.

The K+ ATEX electric pumps can

now be used at an ambient/fluid

temperature of up to 60°C after

company assessment of the

application and can be controlled

by a variable speed drive (VSD) if

the user complies with the condi-

tions indicated in the operation

and maintenance manual.

The pump motor is class F with

class H double insulation windings

and class T4 average temperature.

It offers ultra-cooled motors (low

running temperature) and hence

long service life and high energy

efficiency, Caprari says.

The pump features an optimised

oil chamber which can help

reduce the actual quantity of

lubricant. Bio-compatible

coatings and recyclable materials

are available.

The pumps are suitable for

purifying civil and industrial

wastewater, supplying surface

water for irrigation and industrial

water and water reclamation,

amongst other applications.

New Mach waterjet seriesFlow International Corp, a

manufacturer of ultrahigh pressure

waterjet technology, has

developed three new lines of

waterjet cutting machines.

The new Mach lines of waterjet

pumps have improved software

upgrades and ultrahigh pressures

rated up to 94,000 psi.

The Mach 4 Series is designed for

flat material and 3D material

cutting. It features a HyperJet 94

94,000 psi intensifier pump and

FlowXpert waterjet cutting

software, which optimizes cutting

speeds based on a variety of

user-defined parameters such as

desired edge finish, material

thickness, and material type. The

Mach 3 features a HyPlex Hybrid

60,000 psi pump and the

Dynamic Waterjet high-produc-

tion/taper control system with

±10 degrees of wrist motion for

use on flat material cutting. The

Mach 2 Series are economical

machines and feature a JetPlex

55,000 psi direct drive pump and

a Paser ECL cutting system.

Small gas version for hazardous areasAir Dimensions Inc (ADI) has

introduced a smaller version of its

ADI Dia-Vac gas pump with

Division 2 certification for use in

hazardous areas. The new pump

offers flows up to 21 SLPM in a

single head or 36 SLPM with a

dual head option. It can reach a

vacuum of 26 InHg and

maximum pressure up to 30 PSIG.

The pump can be installed in any

position as long as it is properly

supported and is available with an

elevated head option for installa-

tion into a heated enclosure. This

elevated head configuration allows

the motor to remain at ambient

temperature, while the head

maintains the temperature above

the dew point of the sample gas,

preventing condensation from a

cold spot in the head chamber.

The Mini Dia-Vac can be used in

sample temperatures up to 200°C.

ADI's diaphragm pump comes

with a Div 2 motor which can be

wired for 115 or 230 V power at 60

and 50 Hz frequency. The pump is

also available in corrosion resistant

materials such as Teflon, aluminium

and hastelloy.

Metal cutting with high pressure jetsKMT Waterjet Systems Inc has

developed a 90,000 PSI/6.200 bar,

125 HP pump.

The KMT Streamline PRO 125

UHP includes dual head cutting

with .011 orifice or single head

cutting with .016 orifice. It uses

the largest orifice in the water jet

industry to achieve maximum

performance cutting steel,

titanium, and aluminium.
