A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
Autoclude offers range of OEM pumps from
Autoclude, which we summarised at the time by saying "The Verderflex Autoclude OEM range of peristaltic pumps are specified for diverse applications from precise dosing of surgical instrument disinfectant to the dispensing of heavy-duty printing ink.".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release CDR offers safe magnetic drive pumps for unloading from
CDR Pumps (UK): "It is becoming more common to move chemicals and acids by ship, lorry and in intermediate bulk containers (IBCs). ".
In September 2008, we covered the news from Kluber Lubrication GB
- take a look at Kluber develops AG 11-462 adhesive lubricant
which says: "Kluber Lubrication has developed Kluberplex AG 11-462, an adhesive lubricant with high load resistance, suitable for use at sea.".
Take a look also at the news release from CDR Pumps (UK), Bearing redesign survives dry running,
as well as Peristaltic pump removes maintenance headache from Larox Flowsys,
and Calibration system provides flexibility boost from GE Inspection Technologies.
