Hydraulic hose: Be safe, not sorry

02/04/2024

While the unexpected failure of a hydraulic hose can cause construction, agricultural, forestry, and other off-highway vehicles to come to a halt, there is another major implication of this undesirable event: compromised safety. Skin burns and injection injuries from hose defects, plus whipping from a detached hose, are just some of the dangers that can result from unexpected failures.

Peristaltic pump plays key role in cardiac ablation system

04/12/2023

Medical device manufacturers livetec Ingenieurbüro GmbH and OSYPKA are using a 400RXMD peristaltic pump from Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) as part of a cardiac ablation system, for its high reliability and ease of operation.

From blueprint to bottom line: Energy saving in pumping applications

31/10/2023

Efficiency is not just a buzzword. For industrial businesses, improving the efficiency of electrical systems is crucial for reducing expenditure – particularly in an environment where energy costs remain sky-high. Here, David Strain, Technical Director of Technidrive, takes a deep dive into the energy-saving potential of pumping applications.

Why CERN relies on diaphragm pumps

02/05/2023

Some of the most spectacular discoveries of what the universe is composed of – including antimatter and the Higgs boson – have been made by particle accelerators at CERN. The KNF pumps that circulate gas mixtures through these particle detectors must be extremely reliable and keep the gases contamination-free.
