Pumps are simply built to last
Hydra-Cell sealless positive displacement pumps are designed for long life even in the most arduous conditions.
Clean, dirty, hot, high pressure, low pressure, thick, gooey, abrasive and flammable are some of the words used to describe the type of pumping applications to which Hydra-Cell sealless positive displacement pumps are suited These pumps, which are designed for long life even in the most arduous conditions, are now available through fluids handling specialist Michael Smith Engineers

Pumps offer consistent pumping accuracy
The Hydra-Cell is an inherently simple pump system, both from a mechanical pumping and control standpoint.
Reliable pumps deliver smooth flows
The I-Drive pump includes a brushless DC motor with no moving parts and an electronic controller.
Pumps handle harsh fluids
The LVP range of pumps is designed to provide smooth, nonpulsating, low-shear flows and offer superior suction lift capability and a reversible direction of flow.
The manufacturer, Wanner Pumps, claims that Hydra-Cell pumps are "simply built to last", operating with minimal stress, and this is achieved thanks to their unique design features.
The pump drive shaft is rigidly held in the pump housing by a large tapered roller bearing which is immersed in a lubricating oil bath and a fixed angle cam translates rotary motion into linear motion to the hydraulic cells, which displace the diaphragms via pressurised oil.
This results in hydraulically balanced diaphragms, so stress is eliminated.
Hydra-Cell pumps cover a wide range of flow rates from 0.4 to 128 litre/min and pressures up to 172bar and provide repeatable and accurate output, so they are ideal for metering and dosing applications.
To meet specific customer requirements and applications Hydra-Cell offers the facility of modified pump components along with custom pump head or body casings.
Also, to either simplify installation or increase performance a wide range of accessories are available including pump and motor adapters, oil cooler and filter systems, oil level monitors and reservoirs, couplings and guards, pump and motor baseplates, speciality tools, parts and hose connectors.
Hydra-Cell pumps can handle a wide spectrum of industrial and commercial fluids across applications including: food processing CIP, machine tool cooling, reverse osmosis and separation, spray drying and abrasives, paper mill applications and oil production and refining.
