Houston, Texas – By eliminating one of the most common causes of fluid end failure — fatigue cracking at the intersection of the bores — new Cat Cube Bore well stimulation technology extends block life by 50 percent or more. Available exclusively from Caterpillar, this innovative geometry significantly reduces the downtime and costs associated with fluid end replacement.
Danfoss Power Solutions unveiled its D1 Open Circuit High Power Axial Piston Pump to the North American market during the Offshore Technology Conference in Houston, Texas, April 30-May 3, ahead of its formal release in June.
To round off its existing range of butterfly valves, the KSB Group has launched the new Aporis double-offset butterfly valve with elastomer sealing element. This product is used for applications where huge volumes of water need to be transported and shut off reliably. Applications include systems for water transport, water treatment or in large industrial cooling circuits.
Blocking pipes or other orifices to carry out routine maintenance and other applications can prove challenging where hydrocarbons are present in liquid and gas form.
For improved lock reliability, the new redesigned SealMaster Skwezloc Locking Collar achieves improvement through an innovative circumferential groove on its inner ring bore that reduces stress on the inner ring when properly clamped to the shaft.
KSB’s Multitec series of high-pressure multi-stage pumps has been expanded with the introduction of two new higher capacity models.
Vortec introduces Spray Nozzles for ultra-fine droplet-sized sprays ideal for evaporative cooling. Superior to conventional hydraulic and piezoelectric nozzles, spray nozzles atomize the liquid stream by high velocity compressed air to create a range of 20-200 micron-size spray droplets, resulting in greater surface coverage than conventional nozzles.
Exair’s new patented High Lift Chip Trapper offers a fast, easy way to clean coolant sumps, waste oil pits or wells. High Lift Chip Trapper removes the solids such as chips, swarf and shavings out of used coolants and other liquids with up to 15 feet of lift or 20 feet of horizontal vacuum. Extend the life of coolants and eliminate the worry of waste oil solids damaging equipment.
Working in atmospheres likely to contain dangerous particulates requires reliable, constant air monitoring. Meeting OSHA and AHERA standards, Allegro Industries offers a complete line of Sampling Pumps. This broad selection delivers dependable area monitoring of mould, lead, asbestos and other dangerous particulates.
Thompson Pump’s new RECON2000T control panel with enhanced functions using interactive technology allows for remote pump control and monitoring, and reduces the time and labour needed on-site.
