Hydra-Cell Pumps Effective for Cleaning Food Processing Equipment

Wanner Engineering manufactures high-performance pumps for some of the most intensive industrial applications. With durable Hydra-Cell pumps from Wanner Engineering, industrial companies can keep plant equipment running every day without disruption. In the food-processing industry, Hydra-Cell is an ideal choice for in-plant cleaning. Many food-processing parts, including cookers, storage totes, conveyor belts, and others, require regular cleaning to deliver optimum performance. With Hydra-Cell, plants gain ability to use the hot water and sanitizers required for effective cleaning. Hydra-Cell features a unique seal-less design, which makes it more resistant to damage from pumped liquid and extends its useful life. In addition, Hydra-Cell can operate at continuous duty for long periods to meet the demands of food-processing. As an added benefit, companies can opt to fit Hydra-Cell with a smaller motor than motors required by many competitive heavy-duty pumps. This allows Hydra-Cell to operate efficiently while offering 80 to 85 percent energy savings and achieving comparable flows and pressures.

Metering Pumps Offer Accurate Flow Rates

Wanner Engineering manufactures high-quality pumps for an array of industrial applications. With its advanced Hydra-Cell metering pump, Wanner Engineering offers clients the advantages of traditional large diaphragm pumps at a lower cost. When accuracy is paramount, metering pumps are the right choice because they deliver specific volumes of fluid pumped in a defined time frame. Metering pumps have two phases of operation. In the first phase, the pump inlet opens and the outlet closes to draw liquid into the pump. During the second phase, the outlet opens and inlet closes to force liquid out of the pump. With Hydra-Cell pumps, pump operators can attain precise control over flow rates through a speed control mechanism. As an added benefit, Hydra-Cell pumps offer a seal-less design, which means they can handle charged and/or dirty liquids. Since many industrial liquids can cause harm to pump seals, the seal-less design gives the Hydra-Cell metering pump a longer shelf life than traditional pumps.

Companies Must Select the Right Pump for Hot Fluids

Based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Wanner Engineering builds heavy-duty pumps that can handle the most difficult fluids. One Wanner Engineering offering, the Hydra-Cell pump, has many advanced features that make it a perfect option for pumping hot liquids. Industry experts note that using standard pumps to process hot liquid can result in damaged seals, stalled drives, or a broken pump. Nearly every industry processes some type of hot fluid. This may include fluids that are solid or semi-solid at normal temperatures, but are heated to facilitate their movement. Some liquids are byproducts of processes in which heat is a catalyst. Additionally, some liquids transfer heat to equipment. Process temperatures for each of these categories of liquid can be very different. Every application is unique, so potential pump purchasers should gather as much data as possible before making a selection. Understanding the liquid to be pumped and the range of temperatures required is key to success.

Hydra-Cell Pumps Meet Specialized Car Wash Pump Needs

 Minnesota-based Wanner Engineering manufactures advanced industrial pumps for a broad range of applications. The Wanner Engineering Hydra-Cell pumps feature rugged construction and quality materials, which make them a perfect choice for the car wash industry. In the past few years, car washes have seen an uptick in business as the economy has rebounded and consumers have more disposable income. The industry expects to see continued growth as some local areas enact legislation to prohibit car washing in residential communities. To prepare for this expected expansion, car wash owners should invest in top-quality pump technology, such as Hydra-Cell pumps. Hydra-Cell pumps offer many benefits to car wash owners. Hydra-Cell pumps are seal-less, which means they can process charged or dirty car wash fluids without fine filtration. The pumps also require minimal maintenance and can operate at high pressure on a continuous basis. Hydra-Cell pumps can operate at a range of pressures from less than one bar up to 70 bars, with one model capable of operation up to 170 bars. Car washes can use Hydra-Cell pumps to perform many key functions, including undercarriage applications, high pressure arches, and side blast sprays.

Seal-Less Pump Design Can Handle Harsh Lawn Care Chemicals

Many top lawn care companies rely on Hydra-Cell pumps from Wanner Engineering. Hydra-Cell pumps feature an innovative seal-less design that enables them to handle difficult substances, including chemicals and fertilizers. In addition, Hydra-Cell pumps from Wanner Engineering are effective for other outdoor maintenance tasks, such as tree and orchard spraying. Industry experts expect the lawn care industry to grow steadily from 2015 to 2020 as more households seek to outsource lawn care. In addition, experts anticipate growth in the construction sector, which means there could be more homes for lawn care companies to service. Investing in advanced technology such as Hydra-Cell pumps is a wise move for any lawn care company hoping to capitalize on growth opportunities. Standard lawn care chemicals are hard on traditional pumps. Over time, the seals on traditional pumps are likely to degrade. By contrast, with their seal-less design, Hydra-Cell pumps can tolerate small granules and resist corrosive and chemical attacks. Consequently, Hydra-Cell pumps offer longer service life than traditional pumps. As an added benefit, Hydra-Cell pumps provide high-pressure operation on a continuous basis to meet the most demanding lawn care applications.

Selecting the Right Pump is Key to Handling Corrosive Materials

Wanner Engineering provides specialty pumps for demanding applications, including pumping corrosive chemicals. Companies can turn to Wanner Engineering for positive displacement (PD) pumps, which provide the smooth, low-pulse operation required for handling corrosive materials. Selecting the correct pump can prevent rapid pump wear. Industry experts typically recommend lower pump speeds when handling corrosive materials. Slowing down pump speed can significantly curtail pump wear. Many companies benefit from special PD pumps, designed to operate at reduced speeds. These PD pumps may also include hardened parts that resist pump degradation. In addition, pump operators should note that higher temperature often causes corrosive materials to become more aggressive. Lowering differential pressure can also extend pump life. With lower differential pressure, pump slippage decreases, reducing the viscosity of corrosive liquids and thereby making them less aggressive. When seeking a pump to handle corrosive chemicals, organizations should discuss their options with their preferred pump manufacturer. The best pump products offer a solid mix of durability, performance, and design simplicity to suit a range of applications.
