Metering Pumps
The IX Series of direct-drive, digitally-controlled metering pumps from Iwaki America combine accuracy, reliability and flexibility into an energy-efficient design. An advanced liquid end and fixed stroke length design enable a high compression ratio throughout each stroke, resulting in fast priming with no gas-lock problems. Two models provide a maximum flow of 40 gph and a maximum pressure rating to 150 psi. A full turndown ratio of 750:1 enables only two models to handle many chemical metering requirements. Precise motor control coupled with an efficient check valve design creates accurate performance of +/-1% over the entire output range.

Thermoplastic pumps
Vanton's Sump-Gard® model SGK-2700 thermoplastic centrifugal pump handles flows to 1200 gpm at heads to 200 ft., making it ideal for fume scrubbers and other applications in which caustic and acidic chemicals are transferred. All wetted components are molded of solid polypropylene, PVDF or CPVC to eliminate chemical attack associated with pumping of aggressive chemicals while minimizing abrasion. The alloy shaft, which is isolated from fluid contact by a thick-sectioned thermoplastic sleeve, transfers torque from a 125 hp motor and can employ a balanced 14" diameter impeller.

Submersible propeller pumps
Xylem's Flygt Submersible Propeller Pumps move large volumes of water within low to medium head applications. They are smaller than non-submersible offerings as the motor and hydraulics are integrated into one compact unit, resulting in smaller pumping stations that are less complex and thus more cost effective to build. Operating submerged, they take up less space while noise and motor cooling problems are eliminated.
