'Verderflex Ds500: Where peristaltic technology makes the difference.'

Guess what? We're attending International Mining and Resources Conference (IMARC) in November.

Air-operated diaphragm pumps are known in the industry to be low maintenance and an easy to operate pump option. However, experienced pump operators understand the importance of getting clean and dry air into their pumps to avoid a common problem: freezing. Built up ice can block your pumps exhaust system which results in slowing or even stopping production, thus increasing downtime.

Does your site have pumps left, right and centre? If so, you understand how difficult it can be identifying and tracking each pump's details, obtaining manuals and ordering spares or parts.

Did you know that you could be killing the hose in your peristaltic pump without even knowing? We have highlighted 10 possible causes for killing your hose and how to avoid these issues to ensure you replace fewer hoses and reduce your maintenance costs and downtime.

There comes a time in every good pump systems’ life where what once was adequate is now not good enough.  The flow needs to increase, the lines get extended, or the operators just need that bit of extra momentum on the discharge.  As pump experts, this isn’t the end of the world, we have several levers we can pull to help get that extra bit of pressure out of the pump and increase discharge pressure of centrifugal pumps to meet the new systems requirements.

When purchasing a new pumping system, or upgrading an existing one, often the main considerations is the upfront cost of the pump itself.  Although the capital cost only equals about 10% of the lifetime costs, there are other factors, such as spare parts, downtime, operational costs, and maintenance which are all important  variables to consider. 

When doing a pump selection for a specific application, it is important to know whether the product to be pumped has a higher viscosity than water. Viscosity of fluid is defined as that property which offers resistance to flow due to internal fricti
