No Dynamic Seals
16 January 2013
New from Wanner International is a range of Hydra-Cell multiple diaphragm pumps developed to meet the specific needs of polyurethane production.
Isocyanates, when exposed to air, tend to form crystals that generate premature wear in pumps with dynamic seals while Polyols, especially those contain- ing abrasive fillers, are equally as destructive to seals and bearings. The Hydra-Cell multi-diaphragm pump has no dynamic seals and consequently handles abrasive particles with ease, significantly reducing maintenance costs.
Now with new PTFE diaph- ragms, chemical compatibility and service life are no longer concerns. Hydra-Cell pumps with these new diaphragms have been tested extensively and shown to be able to operate reliably at full flow under flooded suction conditions.
