Valves

Disposable Material Path(TM)valves contain a disposable feedscrew for easy maintenance and more accurate and reliable dispensing. Designed for two-compound and abrasive materials, the valve has a hinged doorway in front so users can access, remove, and replace the auger while the line is still in operation. No valve cleaning or refurbishment is required.

Pumps

Hydraulically balanced diaphragms extend the service lives of Hydra-Cell Flange-style positive-displacement pumps. Designed for petrochemical, oil, and gas industrial applications, the pumps feature a seal-less design that minimizes maintenance. The units can pump abrasives with concentrations to 25% by volume, handle solids as large as 1,000 microns, and run dry without damage.

Humidifying system

The Series GFH gas-fired HumidiClean(TM)with Ionic Bed Technology uses either propane or natural gas to generate humidifying steam from tap or refined water. Units have an 82% efficiency rating and are AGA and CGA certified. They employ low NOx infrared burners and can generate up to 100 lb of humidity per hour.

Pumps

The UniverSeal shaft seal is a standard feature of a broad line of rotary-gear positive-displacement pumps. The seal design enables these pumps to accept lip seals, mechanical seals, or packing gland shaft seals, instead of just one seal type. Users can specify the factory seal they want, then switch seals depending on their application needs.
