Problem Liquids

Is your pump struggling with a difficult liquid?
Many industrial applications involve liquids that are hot, cold, viscous, corrosive or abrasive, and traditional pump technologies often fail to meet the challenge. From inconsistent flow to premature seal failure, the wrong pump can compromise your entire process.
Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro® pumps are built to handle these problem liquids with reliability, precision and long service life.
Challenge | Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro® Solution |
---|---|
Viscosity Extremes Pumping high- or low-viscosity liquids can lead to erratic flow rates, cavitation, or inefficient energy use. | Hydra-Cell’s positive displacement design ensures steady flow across a wide viscosity range up to 20,000 cP Learn more |
Temperature Extremes Hot or cold liquids can damage seals and shorten equipment life. | Hydra-Cell pumps isolate the liquid from mechanical components, enabling trouble-free performance in high and low temperature environments. Learn more about hot liquids Learn more about cold liquids |
Recirculated Fluids with Solids Traditional pumps are prone to wear when handling liquids with suspended particles. | Hydra-Cell’s seal-less design and durable check valves resist abrasion and maintain efficiency even with recycled or dirty fluids. Learn more |
Abrasive Slurries Slurries and abrasives can quickly erode the interior of your pump. | The Hydra-Cell pump’s combination of seal- and packing-free design and spring-actuated horizontal disc check valves handles liquids with suspended particles reliably, even heavily laden slurries. Learn more |
Shear-Sensitive Liquids Some liquids, such as emulsions or polymers, require gentle handling to prevent the breakdown of the liquid’s structure and properties. | Hydra-Cell pumps offer smooth, low-shear flow to preserve product integrity. Learn more |
Non-Lubricating Liquids Many pumps rely on the fluid for lubrication. | Hydra-Cell’s design requires no lubricating properties from the process liquid, making it ideal for applications with deionized water, fuels, or solvents. Learn more |
Corrosive Liquids Acids, caustics and other corrosive chemicals demand resistant materials. | Hydra-Cell pumps are available in a wide range of corrosion-resistant materials to match your application. Learn more |
