Hydra-Cell pumps are seal-less. No seals, no seal wear – No leaks. No loss of performance. No frequent repairs. Less downtime. Long-term reliability, with minimal routine maintenance and low repair costs. Absence of dynamic seals (cf. for example, gear pumps) means that the Hydra-Cell avoids problems with non-lubricating fluids, or liquids that crystallise on exposure to air.
Hydra-Cell's unique multi diaphragm single pump head and compact design mean significant footprint savings and acquisition cost savings.
Hydra-Cell pumps can handle solids up to 1mm, or more. They can be pumped without fine filtration. System costs are reduced and maintenance is simplified.
The flow rate of a Hydra-Cell pump is constant, regardless of pressure. (See graph.) The relationship between flow and pump speed is a straight line. Flow is easily controlled within ± 1% accuracy simply by controlling pump speed – with turndown ratios of 10:1 or better.
Flow is steady, with little pulsation.
Hydra-Cell pumps can run dry without damage. Innovative Kel-Cell technology protects diaphragms even in abnormal system conditions.
Energy savings. Compact and highly efficient (80-85%), a Hydra-Cell pump can be fitted with a smaller motor than would be required by many much bigger pumps for equivalent flows and pressures. See comparison tables for typical examples.
The low-shear pumping action of a Hydra-Cell pump (cf. centrifugal pumps) reduces heat input into the system - a clear advantage on a long feed line if the product is temperature sensitive.
Wide choice of materials for pump body and elastomers.
