Seal-less high-flow pump
04 May 2016
A seal-less, hydraulically balanced diaphragm pump from Wanner offers flow rates to 366L/min at pressures to 103 bar. Hydra-Cell T100E pumps are 'packing-free' and designed to replace horizontal multi-stage centrifugal pumps and packed triplex plunger pumps.

With multiple-diaphragms in a single pump head, Hydra-CellT100E pumps are said to eliminate hazardous emissions and clean-up and disposal costs of packed-pump leakage. The design also eliminates the need for external lubrication as well as the plunger wear problems associated with packing.
Leak-free Hydra-Cell T100 Series pumps can run dry without damage, will operate with a closed or blocked suction line, and can pump abrasive fluids effectively.
These performance features are claimed to enable the T100E pumps to compete successfully with conventional plunger pumps by offering a lower cost of ownership and reduced maintenance needs, while providing longer service life.
Initially intended for such applications as salt water disposal, injection and hydraulic lift in the oil and gas industry, Hydra-Cell T100E pumps are already finding favour in other bulk transfer applications and in steam generation.
