Complete Liquid Containment
08 October 2024
Increased awareness of health and safety responsibilities and a more responsible attitude towards pollution prevention are thought to be drivers contributing to the increased popularity of Hydra-Cell seal-less diaphragm pumps, which are available through Wanner.
If a pumped liquid is considered to be dangerous, toxic, or noxious, then 100% containment is essential and Hydra-Cell pumps guarantee complete containment. Pumps with dynamic seals are not an option, as even small leakages, more commonly known as diffusion, will escape in the form of potentially harmful vapour on the atmospheric side of the seal.
Although Can and Magnetic drive pumps also offer complete containment, they are invariably less efficient than Hydra-Cell diaphragm pumps. Unlike these pumps, Hydra- Cells do not use the pumped liquid as a lubricant and consequently can be used to empty tanks and can run dry indefinitely without damage.
