Non-lubricating Liquids

Reliably handling non-lubricating liquids and liquids containing abrasive solids.

Hydra-Cell® pumps are able to handle non-lubricating liquids, or even run dry, due to its seal-less design, giving it better performance pumping non-lubricating liquids than other technologies; maintaining a constant flow rate and high efficiencies, reducing maintenance and energy costs.

All pumps with mechanical seals and packing need the process liquid to lubricate the seals to prevent wear and leakage. Non-lubricating liquids can affect the minimum RPM of the pump and expensive seal flushing sometimes is then required. Leaking seals can also have an environmental and health and safety impact.

Many liquids, such as LPGs NGLs, burner fuels, solvents and cleaning chemicals are thin and offer poor lubrication, or none at all. Pumping them with a seal-reliant pump can mean frequent maintenance and service to avoid premature wear. High liquid temperatures and operating pressures accelerate the wear process.

With proven performance Hydra-Cell pumps have replaced many other pump technologies reducing the cost of ownership and improving customers process.
