Graco Now Offering Peristaltic Hose Pumps
Graco is pleased to announce the introduction of the EP Hose Pump product line for pumping abrasive, corrosive and gentle materials. This exciting line of industrial Peristaltic Hose Pumps gives superior hose service life compared with competitors. Graco's peristaltic hose pump technology is ideal for industrial metering and transfer. The positive displacement hose pumps rotate a full 360-degrees and use a single roller to compress the hose once per revolution.
The 360 degree roller design produces 50% more flow and compresses the hose only once per revolution. Both features mean longer hose life and more reliable operation when compared with conventional shoe designed pumps.
The EP Hose Pumps come in seven different models from 32 gallons per hour up to 19.5 gallons per minute. Choose from eight different hose materials to fit your most challenging application needs
EP2 Series Hose Pumps
Maximum flow rate of 2.1 gpm (7.9 lpm). Ideal hose pumps for chemical metering applications.
EP3 Series Hose Pumps
Maximum flow rate of 6.2 gpm (23.6 lpm). Ideal hose pumps for chemical metering and sanitary applications.
EP4 Series Hose Pumps
Maximum flow rate of 19.5 gpm (73.8 lpm). Ideal hose pumps for abrasive material transfer applications.

Innovation
Coming to market in August 2010, AirVantage Energy Saving Technology is used on air operated double diaphragm pumps (AODD), which are industrial pumps that employ the use of a twin diaphragm system for positive displacement to move liquids. Important specifications for diaphragm pumps include maximum discharge flow, maximum pressure discharge, inlet size, discharge size and media temperature. Power sources are primarily pneumatic or hydraulic and incorporate the use of compressed air or natural gas. ---Read More
Statistical Data
This product was tested at 20 manufacturing facilities during an 18-month period. During these tests, Warren Rupp validated that AirVantage saves up to 50 percent air consumption over competitive pumps when applied to heavy flow applications. This information was validated by SCFM meters and recorded on data-loggers within these facilities.
AirVantage has also qualified under the Iowa Custom Energy Rebate Program as an energy saving technology where the utility (MidAmerican Energy) has committed project funding to install the equipment. ---Read More
End-User Testimony
Rick Klok, Plant Manager, Grains and Powders Manufacturing Facility, Saint Gobain, Niagara Falls, N.Y.
The Saint-Gobain Grains and Powders Manufacturing facility took on a 30-day energy savings challenge. The facility reduced its energy costs by 23 percent at its fluid separation points, the most process-critical applications within the facility, according to Rick Klok. They perform several functions and run 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
"Over this period of time, AirVantage reduced our air consumption by 23 percent while maintaining our desired flow rates," Klok says. "It was simple. All we did was install the trial AirVantage pump, and it did the rest, optimizing our energy consumption without special
handling or monitoring. As the pump application switched from batch transfer to recirculation to fluid separation, the AirVantage self-adjusted to the pressure drops and changing condition-points all by itself, using just the right amount of compressed air to operate our pump.
"We were surprised to learn that we can save as much as $1,200 in energy costs and increase our air compressor capacity by 2.5 horsepower per pump," Klok says. "We were very satisfied with the performance of the new system, and we plan to use AirVantage on all [our] AODD pumps in the future." ---Read More

RamParts® Heavy Duty Air Operated Diaphragm Pumps (AOD's)
Heavy-Duty Construction
The rugged construction and extra-thick casing of RamParts® air-driven diaphragm pumps stand up to the abuses of the most demanding sludge and slurry applications. They overcome the "high-wear" problem commonly found in double diaphragm and progressive cavity pumps. Air-driven diaphragm pumps are capable of operating dry on suction lifts up to 20 feet (6.5 m) and handling liquids with solids contents up to approximately 70%. Depending on the pump model, they will pass up to 3" (76 mm) diameter spherical solids. (Solids size determined by check valve type).
Pump stroke rate, discharge stroke time, suction drive pressure and discharge drive pressure can all be adjusted independently on RamParts diaphragm pumps. Pumps will easily handle heavy sludges at their rate of accumulation in clarifiers and settling basins. When it comes to handling heavy sludges and slurries, there’s only one name you need to know – RamParts®.

Premium products for FirstEnergy
Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. (Farmington Hills, MI) provides high-end pumps, piping, valves and related components to diversified energy company FirstEnergy (Akron, OH), the fifth largest utility in the nation. Corrosion’s Fluids owner Joe Andronaco Sr. is proud of the business he’s built over more than forty years. "Our reputation is grounded in problem-solving and excellent service," he states. "We pay attention to details and do what we say we will do."
Andronaco, who has a disability rating from the U.S. Department of Veteran Affairs (VA), served four years in the Navy before his honorable discharge in 1956. Then he joined a pump company where he was influenced by the MEs and Navy officers he worked with. He earned a 1965 BSME on the GI Bill from Fairleigh Dickinson University (Teaneck, NJ); twenty years later he completed a three-month Harvard Business School management program.
He launched Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. in 1968. The company specializes in process pumps, valves & automation, fiberglass piping, Teflon-lined steel piping and hoses for the chemical, pharmaceutical, steel and utility industries as well as municipalities. His customers include Dow Chemical (Midland, MI), Abbot Labs (Abbot Park, IL) and Eli Lilly (Indianapolis, IN). About a quarter of his employees have engineering degrees.
Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. has eight stocking branches across the Midwest. "We are spread across several states as well as several industries," Andronaco says. "We’re not impacted by the local geography or by having a limited product."
Corrosion Fluid Products Saves Water Treatment Plant over $60,000 in 6 months! July 2009
Portable Acid System Supplied by CFPC
In 2008, Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. worked with a Water Treatment Plant in Indiana to improve the cleaning process of large media filters throughout the city’s water distribution system. A portable acid system was needed that could be taken to each location and used to clean the calcification on the filters. A lightweight and acid resistant solution was required, and engineers turned to Corrosion for a solution.
A heavy duty trailer was selected that can be disconnected and used on-site for multiple days at a time. The system was then fabricated and delivered to the customer in complete working order. The fiberglass tank, piping and valves, all supplied by Corrosion Fluid Products, provided an extremely lightweight but very acid resistant system. The flexibility of the system allowed the total filter cleaning time to drop from 3 weeks to 3 days and the plant also enjoyed a significant cost savings- over $60,000 during the first half of 2009!
Pumps & Systems Magazine Names Corrosion Fluid Products "Success Story of the Year" Finalist for 2009
July 2009
From the article:
Reducing Maintenance Costs for a Steel Mill Blast Furnace
A steel mill was experiencing maintenance problems with its four rubber-lined slurry pumps. The abrasiveness of the sludge would quickly wear out each pump's stuffing box sleeve and braided packing, and large solids would tear the rubber liner on the casing and impeller. Any flow interruption would cause the pumps to heat up and seize. The pumps required maintenance or rebuilding a couple times each month.
As replacement for the rubber-lined slurry pumps, Corrosion Fluid Products Corp. produced a high chrome cast pump that has a double mechanical seal with its own barrier fluid. The pump can run dry for extended periods of time and was made to combat the abrasive sludge and large solids destroying the steel mill's existing pumps.
The new pumps have been in place since 2004 and have yielded maintenance cost savings of $158,000 per year.
