Neptune to Showcase Pumps at ACE

Neptune, part of PSG, a Dover company, and a brand of chemical metering and peristaltic pumps, portable mixers, chemical feed systems and other related equipment, will be exhibiting in Booth 2328 at the ACE16 Annual Conference & Exposition hosted by the America Water Works Assn. (AWWA) from June 20 to 22, 2016, in Chicago.

At this year’s ACE16 expo, Neptune will be showcasing its new Series MP7100 mechanically actuated diaphragm metering pump. The pump incorporates the ruggedness of a hydraulic diaphragm metering pump, eliminates the need for intermediate fluid or hydraulic oil to actuate the diaphragm and reduces the potential for gearbox oil to contaminate the process. The result is a pump design that provides reliable and accurate dosing of a wide range of mild to aggressive chemicals, including those used in municipal water and wastewater treatment. The gears of the pump operate in an oil bath for longer life while its finned gearbox design dissipates heat efficiently. This pump has a maximum capacity range up to 275 gph, pressures to 235 psi (16 bar) and a suction-lift exceeding 20 ft on water-like chemicals.

Neptune will also debut new models of its Abaque Series peristaltic (hose) pumps for the North American market. These new orange and black models incorporate a stronger and more durable rotor design and a hose holding system. The pumps meet the requirements of the water industry thanks to their seal-free design that eliminates leaks and product contamination, while offering suction-lift capabilities to 25.5 ft . Pumps are available in ductile iron and stainless steel construction, allowing higher discharge pressure up to 217 psi (15 bar). Hoses are available in natural rubber (highly resilient with abrasion resistance and strength), Nitrile Buna Rubber (wear-resistant to oily products), Nitrile Buna Rubber with FDA Liner (used in hygienic applications), EPDM (high chemical resistance when handling concentrated acids, alcohols and ketones) and Hypalo (resistant to chemicals, temperature extremes and ultraviolet light). Pumps are available in nine sizes, with flow rates ranging from 0.59 to 80.1 gpm.
