Wanner Engineering, Inc., based in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has just launched its new Hydra-Cell Metering Solutions Model MT8 triplex metering pump. It is designed to handle a variety of processing fluids at low flow rates and high pressures. It features a multiple-diaphragm design to provide virtually pulse-free flow without the need for pulsation dampeners. The new MT8 pump exceeds API 675 performance standards for steady-state accuracy (±1%), linearity (±3%) and repeatability (±3%).
Flow capacity for the MT8 ranges from a minimum of 0.06 gph (0.227 lph) to a maximum of 8.0 gph (30.28 lph) with discharge pressure ratings up to 3500 psi (241 bar) depending on flow. The integral relief valve protects the pump from over pressurization on the discharge side. The replenishment valve system in every piston ensures optimum actuating oil on every stroke for continuous accuracy and protects the pump from damage in the event of a blocked suction.
The new MT8 triplex metering pump features the Hydra-Cell seal-less design, so there are no mechanical or dynamic seals, cups, or packing to leak, wear, or replace. Current models are available in 316L Stainless Steel, Alloy 20, Hastelloy C, PVC, and PVDF pump head materials options.
