Reliable Pump For Abrasives

Due to the highly abrasive nature of the mixture, conventional metering pumps were failing, primarily as a result of valves and diaphragms becoming clogged.

To solve the problem Hydra- Cell high pressure pumps were installed on the dosing machine, which needed to deliver the sand and resin mixture at flow rates of between 6 to 7 lit/min and discharge pressures of between 5 and 6 bar. Available from Michael Smith Engineers, the Hydra-Cell G25 pump selected features a cast iron pump head, Buna diaphragms with 316 stainless steel valves and seats.
