Waukesha Circumferential Piston Pumps for Conveying Chemical Products

A company specializing in macromolecular chemistry faced challenges with their existing progressive cavity pump, which repeatedly encountered issues during the transfer of chemical products. By implementing Waukesha Circumferential Piston Pumps, we provided a reliable solution that enhanced their operational efficiency.

Client: Macromolecular chemistry company 
Location: Germany
Project: Implementation of Waukesha Universal 2 pumps to improve chemical transfer and prevent cavitation
Date: August 16, 2021

Pump Upgrade with Proven Results

Taking into account the specifications (flow rate: 20-40 m³/h, pressure 10 bar, viscosity 500-2500 mPas), a pump of the Universal 2 series from Waukesha Cherry Burrell with a special double-acting mechanical seal was selected for this application after expert advice from the sales engineer of AxFlow GmbH in Germany.

Initially, due to the poor suction conditions, problems with cavitation occurred, which destroyed the mechanical seals of the pumps.

AxFlow GMBH has a wealth of experience with the Waukesha Cherry Burrell pumps and so appropriate countermeasures could be initiated immediately.

Due to his very positive experience, the operator will continue to rely on the use of these rotary piston pumps in the future. Among other things, he is planning a new system, which will also be equipped with these Waukesha rotary piston pumps.
