CFPC Now Offering RamParts® Diaphragm Pumps



From Our Diaphragm Pumps Page:

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®.

New Pump Linings for Better Corrosion and Abrasion Resistance

From RamParts®' Website:...

We are very pleased to release the world's first borosilicate glass lined diaphragm pump and fully ETFE lined diaphragm pump! ETFE, also known as Tefzel® (DuPont’s trade-name), has outstanding chemical resistance up to 300°F. Glass offers similar chemical resistance to ETFE but with better abrasion resistance. The new linings will allow RamParts “iPC” & “P” series pumps to enter new applications where hard to handle corrosive fluids are used.

Energy/Cost Saving Success Story from Corrosion Fluid Products


Corrosion Fluid Products Saves Water Treatment Plant over $60,000 in 6 months!

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



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.

Learn More about Flowserve Standard Cartridge Mechanical Seals

Flowserve Bellows Mechanical Seals
The absence of a dynamic gasket in the bellows mechanical seal design eliminates the possibility of "hang-up," caused by build-up of deposits of gasket swell. A rotating bellow has the benefit of "self-cleaning action," disposing of particles or solids through centrifugal force.
Learn More about Flowserve Bellows Mechanical Seals

Elastomer Bellows

Welded Metal Bellows

Flowserve Pusher Mechanical Seals
Flowserve pusher mechanical seals incorporate secondary seals, called the dynamic gasket, that are pushed by springs axially along the shaft or sleeve to compensate for seal face wear or wobble due to misalignment.
