CDR Pumps has recently won an order to solve a problem application that has so far cost the customer in excess of GBP 100,000 in pump repair bills.

The company will supply a high-temperature stainless-steel UTS series magnetic drive pump unit to handle a product at 280C.

The product crystallises at low temperature, and so a steam jacket is also being supplied, specifically around the bearing arrangement to ensure the pump has not seised on start up.

The existing pumps have suffered from damage and seizure of rotating parts as a result of the operating temperature and duty conditions, with current lifetime being as low as 3-4 weeks on a site required to operate 24/7, 365 days per year.

The well proven UTS series of pump is a heavy duty magnetic drive pump available in either close or long coupled configuration, capable of transmitting powers of up to 90kW, and capable of handling temperatures up to 320C.

The design has been in manufacture for the last 12 years, and has proved to be a quality reliable pump unit for some of the most difficult applications.

The pump unit will be fully ATEX certified, and will be mounted onto the new baseplate, which as standard includes eight-point adjustment for easy alignment, and rigid foundation to ensure alignment is not compromised to extend even further the extended operational life of the pumps.
