High Efficiency Pumping Action
Low Energy Consumption
Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro technology helps you meet the challenges of environmentally-friendly, low-carbon footprint operation. Globally, pumps in the industrial sector represent approximately 25% of energy usage, and in pump-intensive industries, as much as 50%. Choosing the right pump technology to optimise energy usage is critical for the environment and for responsible, efficient operations.
Compared to other technologies, the true positive displacement pumping action and minimal internal losses of Hydra-Cell Pro pumps achieve high efficiencies as measured from pump shaft to hydraulic output power. This, combined with the wide range of flow rate controllability, ensures optimum energy usage.
Constant Flow Rate Independent of Discharge Pressure
Many industrial processes require a consistent and controllable flow rate to ensure the quality of the product produced and to optimise the cost of production, especially with expensive chemicals. The steady state accuracy of pumps must be very high to minimise internal losses ensure a consistent flow rate.
With no dynamic seals or packing, Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro reduce and minimise internal losses when compared to pumps with internal dynamic seals. This is especially important when pumping liquids with suspended micron size solids.
Accurate Control of Flow Rate by RPM Over a Wide Range
Industry 4.0 and data-driven process improvement requires pump technology with greater flexibility and control to optimise a process for:
- Energy usage
- Overall cost optimization of process
- Quantity of product
Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro pumps are able to control flow rate from zero to maximum flow by simply controlling pump RPM, independent of pressure.
Ability to Handle Viscous Slurries <20,000 cps
Viscous slurries with suspended solids can create heavy, often monthly, maintenance demands for pumps with dynamic seals or packing, especially if the solids are hard and 10 micron in size.
The seal-free, packing-free design of Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro pumps, combined with a wide selection of materials of construction, means operators can successfully pump many liquids and punishing viscous slurries which will destroy other pumps.
Low Shear
Shear occurs in a liquid when different parts of the liquid moving at a different velocity. The larger this difference, the large the shear. Shear can damage or alter the characteristics of liquids and formulations. Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro’s low shear pumping action is essential in myriad applications, from commodity products with quality in mind to precision control of shear-sensitive formulations including:
- Milk concentration
- Polymer metering & injection
- Food oils
- Liquid suspensions
- Water/oil liquid separation
Hydra-Cell Pro’s gentle pumping action, combined with specially-designed valves, minimises shear and in side-by-side tests with other technologies, and has been shown to be a preferred pumping technology with superior low shear performance.
Unique Valve Design
Wanner Hydra-Cell Pro’s extensive FEA (Finite Element Analysis) in check valve design ensures optimum performance for many factors including:
- Lowest NPSHr
- Lowest shear rates
- Long valve life
- Reliable high-speed operation
- Reliably pumping viscous liquids
- Reliably pumping liquids with suspended solids
