DRIVE DOWN YOUR ENERGY USE
In a motor-pump system, the life cycle cost of the motor is about 2 percent of the total expense with electricity consumption comprising over 97 percent of the motors total cost. By upgrading to a Super-E® NEMA Premium® efficiency motor, substantial energy can be saved… immediately. Since most pump systems are oversized for worst case conditions and are operated well below that point, adding an adjustable speed drive to operate the motor at a lower speed (instead of using a valve) can, in most cases, save over 60 percent of the energy used.
These applications can pay for the cost and installation of the drive in less than a year with rebates available from most utilities, while reducing energy consumption for many years afterwards. Both the U.S. Department of Energy and Natural Resources Canada accept Baldor’s Super-E motors as an energy-saving upgrade. ■

ELECTRO STATIC TECHNOLOGY

AEGIS® BEARING PROTECTION RINGS MAKE VFD-DRIVEN MOTORS AND SYSTEMS SUSTAINABLE

Electrical bearing damage: (left to right) pitting, frosting, and fluting
THE PROBLEM
Variable frequency drives (VFDs or inverters) control the speed or torque of motors and can save 30 percent or more in energy costs. It’s no wonder they are being used increasingly in industrial processing and pumping applications.
But VFDs are not without their drawbacks. They induce harmful voltages on the shafts of the motors they control—voltages that discharge through bearings, destroying them and dramatically shortening motor life. Without bearing protection, any savings from VFDs can be short-lived—easily wiped out by the cost of repairing motor bearings or replacing the motors themselves.

AEGIS® Bearing Protection Rings and uKITs
THE SOLUTION
By channeling destructive shaft voltages around bearings and safely to ground, AEGIS® Shaft Grounding Rings protect motor bearings from electrical damage such as pitting (tiny fusion craters blasted in metal bearing and race surfaces), frosting (widespread pitting), and fluting (washboard-like ridges that form on the outer bearing race, causing noise and vibration).
Unlike conventional grounding brushes, AEGIS® Rings are designed to completely encircle the motor shaft with specially-engineered conductive microfibers. Secured in place by the ring’s FiberLock™ channel, the microfibers flex without breaking and provide effective grounding even in the presence of oil, grease, dirt, or other contaminants. And AEGIS® Rings last for the life of the motor.
By protecting VFD-driven motors from electrical bearing damage, AEGIS® Rings make both them and the savings they generate sustainable and ensure the reliability of motor-driven systems.

AEGIS® Bearing Protection Best Practices Handbook
AEGIS® RINGS FOR EVERY APPLICATION
AEGIS® Bearing Protection Rings for low-voltage motors are available in solid rings for installation on new or uncoupled motors or split-rings for fast, easy field installation on coupled or in-service motors.
AEGIS® uKITs (Universal Mounting Kits) simplify the mounting of AEGIS® Rings on motors with shaft shoulders, slingers, or other end bell protrusions. They are also available in solid versions for new or uncoupled motors and split-ring versions for coupled or in-service motors.
The AEGIS® iPRO is designed for larger motors including: low-voltage motors greater than 500 horsepower; medium-voltage motors; or DC motors greater than 300 horsepower. A beefier version of the AEGIS® Ring, the iPRO has six rows of conductive microfibers and greater current-carrying capacity for these larger motors.
BEST PRACTICES FOR BEARING PROTECTION
The 44-page AEGIS® Bearing Protection Handbook details how to diagnose and prevent VFD-induced electrical bearing damage by installing AEGIS® Rings—externally or internally on in-service or repaired motors—or by specifying new motors with AEGIS® Rings factory-installed. It describes the types and causes of electrical bearing damage as well as best practices to prevent it in low- and medium-voltage motors. The handbook normally sells for $19.95, but for a limited time, it can be downloaded FREE at www.est-aegis.com/handbook. ■

INTERNATIONAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION

THE BEST NEW TOOL FOR YOUR TOOLBOX! RUBBER SLIDE™ – MAKES RUBBER SLIDE LIKE BUTTER!

International Products Corporation announces the launch of Rubber Slide™, a new product designed specifically for the aftermarket. Rubber Slide™ makes rubber slide like butter and is perfect for inclusion in Automotive, Truck, Appliance, Pump, Electrical or HVAC repair kits. Rubber Slide™ is a must have for every toolbox.
Have you ever pushed or pulled a rubber part with all your strength, yet failed to put it in place? Have you ever exerted such force on a rubber part that it pinched, rolled or tore while you tried to install or remove it? Have you ever scraped or bruised your hands while trying to force a rubber part into place? Now there is Rubber Slide™ to help you work with rubber parts with ease and precision.
Rubber, natural and synthetic, is a core material used in many manufacturing industries. Its inherent qualities make it the number one choice for grommets, o-rings, hoses, tires, seals, plugs, protective boots, belts, and bushings, just to name a few. Unfortunately, rubber’s non-slip surface can create a challenge during repairs. The manipulation of tight-fitting components, whether removing or reinstalling, can slow repair work, affecting quality and safety. The use of excessive force may result in damage to the part, the surrounding area or an improper fit.

The traditional solution is to lubricate parts to make the repair job easier. However, some lubricants leave a messy residue that does not go away. It is for this reason that Rubber Slide™ was developed. From the makers of P-80® Rubber Lubricants, Rubber Slide™ is a temporary rubber lubricant that allows rubber parts to slide easily into place and stay there. Rubber Slide™ provides a high degree of lubricity when wet, but because it does not contain any silicon or other persistent ingredients, once dry the slipping action goes away securing a tight fit. No lubricity or greasiness is left behind, leaving the functionality and appearance of the part unaffected. Rubber Slide™ is also useful as a rubber cutting agent. Rubber Slide™ is a must have for every toolbox! Using Rubber Slide™ can speed productivity, reduce waste, and help to ensure high-quality repairs are completed on a timely basis.
Unlike many other lubricants, Rubber Slide™ is silicon, petroleum, and alcohol free. It will not dry out rubber or otherwise impair its performance. Rubber Slide™ is also non-toxic, biodegradable, easy to dispose of and ready to use. Rubber Slide™ is 100 percent made in the USA.
Rubber Slide™ was specifically designed for the aftermarket and is perfect for inclusion in Automotive, Truck, Appliance, Pump, Electrical or HVAC repair kits!

MOYNO

OFFSHORE SOLUTION UNDERLINES MOYNO VERSATILITY

The wide variety of applications that can be accommodated by Moyno progressing cavity (PC) pumps has been highlighted by an offshore application. Ten of Moyno’s 2000 Series pumps have been ordered for a new fleet of offshore supply vessels that will be used to service drilling rigs worldwide.
The 2000 Series pumps will be fitted to ten new HOS MAX 320 supply vessels which Mississippi-based VT Halter Marine is building for Hornbeck Offshore. The pumps will transfer up to 24-pound liquid mud to and from the vessels, which will be off-loaded when they reach the drilling rigs.
“This is a very demanding application for any pump,” comments Moyno’s Chip Strickland. “Drilling mud is a very aggressive substance that can have high solids content, so the pumps must be able to withstand this.”
The ability to operate at sea was another important consideration. For example, centrifugal pumps require a fairly stable level of pumped media to work efficiently. The motion of the sea can cause the mud levels in the vessels to fluctuate constantly and this would have reduced the efficiency of a centrifugal pump, leading to longer off-loading times and expensive delays. However, the progressing cavity action of the Moyno pumps isn’t affected by these changing mud levels and they can work perfectly well in these circumstances. This allows the vessel operator to accurately predict the time needed for off-loading and get the vessels heading back to shore for the next load as soon as possible, without any costly delays.
“In addition to these predictable off-load times, our 2000 Series pumps are also well-proven in this type of challenging duty,” adds Chip. ”They offer the high volume and high pressure capabilities which the customer requires, plus the ability to operate in reverse so that mud levels in the tanks can be adjusted to add extra stability while the vessels are at sea.”
Moyno’s high-performance 2000 Series pumps offer an outstanding combination of low maintenance, minimal downtime and long service life, which all combine to create a low cost of ownership. Their proprietary 2000 Series gear-type universal joint design minimizes wear and accommodates both radial and thrust loads with ease. This allows the pumps to handle abrasive materials with over 80 percent solids, while still maintaining a steady and consistent flow. The 2000 Series range also offers performance capabilities to 4500 gallons per minute, with pressure to 1500 psi.
Both cast iron and stainless steel models are available, with a choice of materials and coatings for rotors and stators, to suit individual applications. “The 2000 Series pumps also have a low running speed capability which extends both the maintenance intervals and the overall working life. That pays particular dividends on an application like this where the pumped media is so abrasive,” concludes Chip Strickland.
The pumps will transfer mud at volumes up to 1000 gallons per minute, handling pressures of 200 psi. The order was secured through Moyno’s partner company, Chemetec Engineered Equipment. Other pumps in the Moyno range offer proven solutions for many other oil and gas applications, such as multiphase fluid transfer, lease automatic custody transfer, crude oil transfer and produced water handling duties.

SMITH & LOVELESS

BUILT FOR YOU. BUILT FOR LIFE. BUILT FOR PUMPING.

By mounting a complete wastewater pump station outside of and above the wet well, collection systems and industrial pumping applications become dramatically simpler, safer, and more economical.
Not only does this approach eliminate routine confined space safety concerns and hassles, it also reduces maintenance time and cost. These savings, when combined with the higher wire-to-water efficiencies provided by non-clog pumps, result in significantly lower life-cycle costs for Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations by Smith & Loveless.
Key to the success of the Wet Well Mounted concept are S&L’s specially-crafted, vertical, Non-Clog Pumps—which helps users save, and stay, green.
These pumps—with their exclusive oversized stainless-steel pump shafts, oversized bearings, and bronze seal housings—are some of the most durable and efficient wastewater pumps in the world. These pump components work together to reduce the potential for shaft deflection and seal failure overtime. The larger diameter of the shaft provides increased rigidity, while its stainless steel composition eliminates the possibility of corrosion, one of the leading contributors to shaft deflection and eventual pump failure. The pumps are simply designed to run—both efficiently and for decades.
These pumps are industry-leaders in clog-busting pump technology, as well, and can eliminate problems caused by flushables and other trashy materials. The X-PELLER® Impeller passes 3-foot solids in flows up to 1000 gallons per minute (63 liters per second).
Key to the X-PELLER® success is its mono-port design, which effectively expels high volumes of stringy materials, rags and other unusual trashy items. Applications of all types have called on the X-PELLER® to eliminate clogs, including prisons, fairgrounds, college residence halls and auto repair shops. The standard Smith & Loveless impeller rarely clogs; however, if you are faced with a high volume of trash pumping application, it is nice to know there is the X-PELLER® to fall back on.
S&L Non-Clog Pumps are primed through a process known as vacuum-priming, which creates fluid suction-lift in order to prime the pumps residing at grade level. All of the pumping equipment, valves, and controls are immediately accessible without special safety gear or harnesses.
The Wet Well Mounted concept offers numerous safety and ease-of-use benefits, in addition to those cost-saving benefits already discussed.
During the installation sequence, requirements for entering the existing wet well are severely reduced. Stations arrive factory-built and tested and are simply set in place, with all piping and electrical connections made quickly and easily. Installation and start-up can usually be achieved within a few hours. Long term, maintenance and inspection can be performed without accessing a confined underground space, which is prevalent with other types of pumping systems. Routine maintenance can be performed onsite by existing staff, without the use of outside contractors or pricey pump maintenance centers.
SIMPLER, SAFER, MORE ECONOMIC . . .
Wet Well Mounted Pump Stations are the obvious choice when all the factors that go into pump station operation are considered. It all adds up to a longer, better pump station life.

FLUID COMPONENTS INTERNATIONAL

FCI’s products are specified by name in many of the world’s most demanding environments for flow instrumentation. They are recognized for their reliability, accuracy and repeatability in harsh conditions, where their total performance ensures users of both their end-product’s quality and operational safety. FCI offers a broad range of application solutions from off-the-shelf devices to custom-engineered systems.
FCI flow switches are ideal for pump protection and flow assurance to prevent pump run-dry conditions, which can damage pump components, degrade pump performance over time and reduce their useful lifecycle. These flow switches feature a no-moving parts thermal dispersion flow sensor and plant rugged design that makes them ideal for a wide range of point-level process applications. Their versatile design also allows them to measure flow or level or temperature.
Flow conditioners developed by FCI’s Vortab Company provide a low-pressure loss solution to correct flow profile irregularities that also affect the operation of pumps and the accuracy of flow instrumentation. In today’s crowded plants, elbows, valves, blowers and other devices in the pipeline often disrupt flowing media and affect other equipment.
For efficient and low maintenance operation, pumps require a repeatable, uniform upstream flow profile of the liquid entering the pump. When elbows, valves, or other equipment are installed too closely to a pump, they can cause swirl and velocity profile distortions, resulting in uneven force placed on the pump impeller. Such disturbances can create excess noise and cavitations, resulting in reduced bearing life. Vortab Flow Conditioners correct these flow profile problems to keep pumps running longer and reduce maintenance costs.
FCI’s flow meters are designed with advanced thermal dispersion mass flow sensors. They combine precision flow measurement accuracy with a rugged design that is compatible with caustic, corrosive, humid and high temperature environments. They are highly reliable, easy to install, require virtually no maintenance, and are designed for long-life.
All FCI products are tested and calibrated to rigorous standards at FCI’s world-class, fully NIST traceable flow calibration laboratories to ensure instrument accuracy with the customers’ actual fluid and process conditions. FCI is ISO9001:2008 and AS9100 certified and meets MIL-STD-45662A and ANSI/NCSL-Z-540 requirements. The company’s advanced technologies also include mechanical design, advanced materials, metallurgy, electronics, bus communications, and more.
Fluid Components International is a global company committed to meeting the needs of its customers through innovative solutions to the most challenging requirements for sensing, measuring and controlling flow, level, and temperature of air, gases, and liquids. ■

They can also be ordered to meet ASME Pressure Vessel Code requirements (ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division 1) if required.
In addition, the stainless steel filter bodies come with a Five-Year Body Warranty against leaks. The patented Bi-directional Hydrodynamic Drive (BHD) design does not require electric motors, limit switches, gearboxes, hydraulic pistons, or any external shaft seals. The cleaning cycle of each filter takes less than 15 seconds and does not interrupt flow during the filtration process.
Additional information may also be found on the VAF website for other filter and separation products as well as complete fabricated filtration systems. Detailed technical data, as well as DWG files may be requested from VAF at any time. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need assistance with filter application or system design. ■

VULCAN PUMPS

Located in Birmingham, Alabama, Vulcan Pumps is a company with a dedicated focus on slurry pumps for industrial markets. Vulcan Pumps has years of experience in submersible slurry pump applications in heavy industry, especially the mining, power generation, and steel production markets. Vulcan Pumps’ mission is to provide affordable, high quality slurry pumping solutions to customers around the world.
The HDS is Vulcan’s engineered, severe duty submersible slurry pump. Standard chrome iron liquid end construction for excellent abrasion resistance and a robust motor featuring an internal mechanical seal operating away from the pumped slurry allow the HDS to operate in the most demanding applications. Both low head and medium head models are available to cover almost any hydraulic condition.  For slurry applications where corrosion is an additional concern, the HDSS is the answer. CD4 duplex stainless liquid end components and a full 316 stainless motor will prolong service life in a corrosive environment. Additional options including explosion proof motors, advanced coatings, Alloy 20 hardware and pump components allow the HDS to be the tailored solution for every unique slurry application.
Vulcan’s Volt offers performance and value in medium duty slurry applications. The hard chrome iron wetted parts, stainless steel pump stand and inlet screen, and silicon carbide mechanical seal faces keep the Volt running in areas where similarly priced pumps with inferior materials of construction fail. Like the HDS the Volt motor also features thermal overload and moisture detection protection. With pumps available for immediate delivery in sizes ranging from 4 horsepower to 30 horsepower and 2-inch to 6-inch discharge, the Volt is eager to tackle your slurry problems.
Vulcan Pumps capabilities continue with custom one-off projects. Whether you need a special sized pump, floating barge, or a complete turn-key packaged pump system skid, our experienced design team can assist you with any challenge.

SDT ULTRASOUND SOLUTIONS

SDT provides ultrasound solutions that give our customers a greater understanding about the health of their factory. We help them predict failures, control energy costs and improve product quality while contributing to the overall uptime of their assets.
Greasing motor bearings is one of industry’s most abused and misunderstood tasks. Bearings depend on optimal lubrication to reduce friction. Not enough grease, or worse, too much, and the bearing’s lifecycle is reduced by 40 percent or more. Too many companies schedule lubrication PMs based on a calendar instead of condition. This leads to over-lubrication and wasted labour and lubricant.
SDT’s ultrasonic data collectors monitor bearing friction levels and alarm lube-tech’s when fresh lubricant is needed. Both the SDT200 and the SDT270 connect to simple grease guns. As new grease enters the bearing ultrasound data prevents us from adding too much.
Condition based lubrication of motor bearings is just the beginning. With SDT you can find all your compressed air and vacuum leaks, inspect electrical systems, spot faulty steam traps, and much more. SDT has revolutionized the way maintenance looks at Reliability and Uptime. Companies depend on SDT to gain a better idea about the health of their machines. We can’t wait to help you Hear More. ■
