Hydra-Cell metering pumps

20 July 2017

Hydra-Cell pumps offer the benefits of diaphragm pumps and plunger pumps without the drawbacks such as high pulsation and seal wear according to Wanner International.

The company says having multiple diaphragms in a single pump head guarantees the volumetric accuracy of a conventional metering pump but with very low pulsation, removing the need for pulsation dampeners in many instances.

According to Wanner Hydra-Cell pumps are also more economical than traditional diaphragm metering pumps, in terms of acquisition, spare parts and energy costs. At a given flow and pressure, a traditional diaphragm pump with a 15kW motor can usually be replaced with a Hydra-Cell metering pump with a 5kW motor. Having a compact footprint, a Hydra-Cell will also free up valuable real estate.

Unlike plunger pumps, Hydra-Cells have no dynamic seals and offer 100% containment of the pumped liquid. They have no seals through which hazardous fluids might escape or through which air could enter the system on the suction stroke to cause degradation or crystallisation of the pumped liquid.

Meeting or exceeding the performance requirements of API 675 and available with ATEX approval, Hydra-Cell pumps are fast becoming the pump of choice for metering and dosing.
