The latest addition to the company's PS Series, the PS 80 micro-dosing pump provides precise fluid delivery with a valveless, sealless design. Featuring adjustable piston stroke, a stepper motor drive, and variable flow capabilities, the pumps achieve flow accuracy of better than 1percent. With both the ceramic piston and cylinder constructed from inert materials, the pumps are compatible with a wide range of fluids. The pump's design includes dual action, rotating/reciprocating ceramic pistons that eliminate the need for check valves, and extremely close clearance between the piston and cylinder, which makes dynamic piston seals unnecessary.Micropump, Inc.Vancouver, WATel: 360-253-2008Web: www.micropump.com.

Click here to enlarge imageVacuum pumpEdson's VacuMaster Pump consists of a 1 hp TEFC motor, 20 CFM oil protected vane air pump, stainless steel transfer cell, timer control panel, and a 24 v safety control. The 20 CFM vane air pump removes the air from the stainless steel transfer cell. Within seconds a vacuum builds and draws the liquid into the transfer cell creating 25 ft. of suction lift. When the cell reaches capacity, the automatic control system instantly diverts air under pressure into the cell, gently forcing out the liquid. The cycle repeats until the automatic off timer or an operator shuts down the unit.Edson InternationalNew Bedford, MATel: 508-995-9711Web: www.edsonpumps.com
