Ampco Pumps ZP4  – The Most Compact Circumferential Piston Pump in the Industry

Ampco Pumps ZP4 – The Most Compact Circumferential Piston Pump in the Industry

The NEW Ampco ZP4 and its compact design are perfect for sanitary low-flow and dosing applications. The compact design of the ZP4 delivers the accuracy, reliability and efficiency that you expect from a positive displacement pump.

The ZP4 separates itself from other sanitary pump options in this category because of its ZERO rotor to rotor contact design and durable stainless steel construction.

The ZP4 circumferential piston pump is designed to reduce any possibility of product zone contamination from pump wear.

John Crane Diamond® Improves Operational Performance on Tungsten Carbide Substrate

John Crane Diamond® Improves Operational Performance on Tungsten Carbide Substrate

Why a Tungsten Carbide Substrate

In certain applications, tungsten carbide offers unique benefits in terms of mechanical properties, including fracture toughness, overall strength and elasticity.

Tungsten carbide substrate is often required on integrally geared, high-speed pumps using a clamped-in mating ring. When the mating ring is clamped between two metallic surfaces, tungsten carbide’s mechanical properties allow it to withstand the clamping. Because of its superior mechanical properties, tungsten carbide can also withstand high-speed centrifugal forces without outside diameter support.

Adding John Crane Diamond® to a Tungsten Carbide Substrate

There are many applications in which adding a seal face technology such as John Crane Diamond to a tungsten carbide substrate can improve mechanical seal performance. Common problems to look for are failure mechanisms such as heat checking, ID chipping, heavy wear and blistering. If evidence of one of these failure conditions is prevalent, adding John Crane Diamond seal face technology to the tungsten carbide substrate can help address these challenges.

Benefits of John Crane Diamond

Diamond is nature’s hardest known substance which leads to reduced face wear. Its low coefficient of friction results in less heat generation. The combination of these two characteristics provides additional protection to seal faces, helping overcome the common challenges mentioned above and extending the life of the mechanical seal.

John Crane Mechanical Seals Challenges

In addition to increasing the mean time between repair (MTBR), adding John Crane Diamond material to a tungsten carbide substrate provides environmental benefits. With less heat generated, the need for cooling water and auxiliary cooling equipment is also reduced, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced water usage. Compounding these benefits are the associated cost reductions in water consumption, wastewater processing and power usage.

PRODUCT AVAILABILITY: John Crane Diamond is available as an enhancement to many of their most widely used seal families, including:
» T5600 Universal Cartridge Seal Family
» T5800 Slurry Seal Family
» 48VBF Boiler Feed water Seal
» Other High-Performance Sealing Solutions

WHERE IT’S USED: Nearly every industry, including oil and gas, chemical, pharmaceutical, pulp and paper, water and wastewater, power generation and
mining, can use John Crane Diamond to improve reliability and performance of mechanical seals, pumps and other components.

Ampco Pumps ZP3 SERIES – The New Standard in Positive Displacement Pumps

Ampco Pumps ZP3 SERIES – The New Standard in Positive Displacement Pumps

The ZP3 from #AmpcoPumps is an excellent choice when pumping very high viscus liquids. Watch this video, demonstrating the manufacturing of soup cubes.

The raw material has a viscosity of more than 2 million mPas. It is very dry and needs a feeding screw to enter the rectangular pump inlet. The feeding conveyer overfeeds the pump with 120% to prevent air pockets. You also may see the very low pulsation with the Ampco ZP3 #circumferentialpistonpump. The ZP3 may handle up to 35 bar and is suitable for viscosities from 1 to 2 million mPas.

Other features are self-priming, suitable for metering applications, sensitive handling of liquids also with sensitive pieces, available in an aseptic version, #EHEDG certified and easy service.

The patented ZP3 Series positive displacement pump is the best choice for sanitary food and beverage processing because only the ZP3 is fully CIP-able without modification, while maintaining full efficiency. The ZP3 Series is EHEDG and 3A Certified. Manufactured and assembled in the U.S.A.
