Designed to free up plant space, resolve alignment issues and increase process productivity, Waukesha Cherry-Burrell introduces the Tru-Fit™ close-coupled pump drive. With an average of 20-25% reduction in overall pump length, Tru-Fit’s self-aligning shaft eliminates the need for couplings and guards. Features include up to 50 gear ratios for each size, optional stainless-steel base and a three-bolt mounting to minimize pump change out time.

From its valve family, WCB offers PMO mix proof valves designed to meet criteria of the PMO for Grade A dairy processes. This valve is machined from solid bar construction and has a standard pressure rating of 150 psi (10 bar). The valve is available in1-1/2, 2, 2-1/2, 3, 4, and 6-inch tube OD sizes.

The new universal power frame cartridge available from SKF provides an “ultimate pump upgrade” designed to virtually eliminate premature bearing and mechanical seal failures caused by heat, vibration, misalignment, and cavitation.  This modular “bolt-on” replacement for existing power frames can install and operate in pumps trouble-free, regardless of industry application. The cartridge meets ANSI and API pump specifications and can be bolted easily into place without modifying pump, piping, or foundation.  The cartridge can be readily converted from standard power frame to hermetically sealed unit to contain process fluids in the power frame, minimizing costs of leak detection and repair.  An optional C-frame adapter supports motors up to 200hp. These can be aligned quickly and precisely with the power frame shaft without requiring hot and cold shaft alignments. The robustness of this arrangement allows pumps to be stilt-mounted, eliminating a need for baseplates, simplifying clean-in-place activities, and improving sanitary conditions.

Alfa Laval’s series of Solid C centrifugal pumps for standard sanitary duties are intended for use in non-critical, less demanding applications.  The robustness of this arrangement allows pumps to be stilt-mounted, eliminating a need for baseplates, simplifying clean-in-place activities, and improving sanitary conditions.

The pump range consists of four pumps with the following performance data:

• inlet pressure: 50 psi
• capacity: 400 gpm
• head: 400 ft
• temperature: up to 250˚F

All Solid C pump sizes have the high-quality shaft seal used in Alfa Laval’s 14 models of LKH premium pumps. Using the same shaft seal in both pumps simplifies the number of spare parts needed in stock. Conversion kits are available to change from a single to a single flushed seal. The shaft seal can be removed by hand from the front of the pump without removing the backplate. This means that the shaft seal and O-rings can be changed in minutes. In addition, the compression coupling on the shaft is self-centering. The pump casing can be fitted by a single person, without assistance. Solid C pumps are supplied with a three-year warranty on all non-wear parts if genuine spare parts have been used.

Viking Pump has introduced the SteriLobe pump series, which features a clean design and ease of maintenance. The pump conforms to relevant EHEDG and 3A standards, and in the critical area of the mechanical seal, exceeds those design criteria to make the SteriLobe one of the cleanest standard-construction pumps available. The pump’s front-loading seal access makes seal removal easy, even for flushed and double-seal options, without removing the pump. The removable rotorcase and optional O-ring seal are ideal for COP (strip-clean) operations. The stainless-steel gear case, with no breather plug or sight glass, ensures cleanliness and corrosion resistance, and prevents water spray infiltration.
