Hydra-Cell is the no-problem pump that can run dry
August 26, 2020With its seal-less design and patented diaphragm position control technology, Hydra-Cell pumps can run dry indefinitely without damage to the pump. The "No-Problem Pump" video shows how Hydra-Cell handles suction lift, entrapped air or outgassing, a closed or blocked suction line, and viscous fluids as well as providing smooth, linear, virtually pulse-less flow without the use of expensive pulsation dampeners.
The seal-less design also means that Hydra-Cell has no seals or packing to leak, adjust or replace. The result is less downtime, less environmental containment costs, and less yearly maintenance costs.
Performance benefits of Hydra-Cell pumps include:
- Can run dry indefinitely without damage
- Will operate with a blocked suction line
- Have lower Life-Cycle Costs than most other pump technologies
- Are extremely energy-efficient
- Have a much smaller footprint with the same flow as larger pumps
- Delivers smooth, linear, virtually pulse-less flow
- Handles low or high viscosity fluids equally well
- Can pump abrasives and particulates up to 800 microns, depending on the model.
- Will pump lubricating and non-lubricating liquids
- Can pump particles up to 9 (out of 10) on the Mohs hardness scale
- Will meet API 675 performance standards for metering, where necessary
- Have low acquisition and operating costs
- Feature unique horizontal disk check valves that handle slurries as well as water
- Are available in a variety of metallic and non-metallic materials of construction to meet a wide range of application specifications
Hydra-Cell pumps are the brainchild of William Wanner, Sr, an engineer and a prolific inventor. His son established Wanner Engineering in 1973, a company that is now recognized as a leader in seal-less positive displacement pumps. Used in almost every market segment globally, Hydra-Cell pumps have proved an effective replacement for many different pump technologies in countless applications due to their versatility and capabilities.
Wanner Engineering is headquartered with design and manufacturing facilities in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and operates business units in Texas, Brazil, Hong Kong, and the United Kingdom. The company has distributors in nearly 80 countries worldwide with more than 100 distributor locations in North America.
