Last month we discussed the internal operation of reciprocating pumps, one of two types of positive displacement pumps. This month we will analyze how the other type of PD pump – rotary pumps. Rotary pumps have rotating gears instead of the backward and forwards motion of cylinders like reciprocating pumps. In some cases, they can […]
Gasoline Bowsers
Do you have a unique fluid fill process that needs to be addressed? We’ve shown other Fluid Fill Bowsers before – most recently a Windshield Washer Bowser. The one below is a Gasoline Bowser with a Wilden Pump and Engineering Air-Operated Double Diaphragm pump. This double diaphragm design will ensure precise amounts of gasoline are […]
Gear Pump Boosts Facility Chemical Totes
A customer was no longer able to buy their chemical supply in bulk, causing them to use smaller totes. This created an issue in transporting the chemical throughout their facility, as the totes had to be stored in a location far from their previous bulk storage tanks and existing pump system. Anderson Process designed a […]
Rail Car Chemical Transfer
Chemical transports are one of the largest revenue streams for railroads in the United States. In 2019 close to 972 million tons of chemicals were shipped throughout the country due to their use in a diverse production of other goods. When transferring chemicals via rail car or tanker truck, the average capacity will be around […]
Acid Dosing Cart
These three unique pump carts are used to dose precise small amounts of acids. The semi-automated, mobile units provide a highly efficient production output necessary for the chemical industry. These units feature a ¼” Wilden Accu-Flo AODD pump, ½” Wilden pulsation dampener, Polytrace B2 Batch controller, RTI filter regulator, Dixon ball valve, and spill containment […]
Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps
In a previous article ‘What Exactly Is a Positive Displacement Pump?’ we gave a high-level overview of different types of Positive Displacement Pumps. In this article, we will focus on Reciprocating Positive Displacement Pumps – how they work, advantages/disadvantages, and common applications in which they are used. As opposed to centrifugal pumps using impellers, the mechanical […]
