Eradicate Hose Abrasion
Blacoh Fluid Control recently was contacted by a large manufacturer of bulk chemicals. The pulsation generated by their AODD pumps caused the hose to shake back and forth, scuffing the hose on the concrete floor, and causing “hose abrasion”. Ultimately, these hoses would fail from abrasion due to the scuffing action. This failure meant considerable downtime, lost product, extensive clean-up, and hose replacement – all of which came with an associated cost. [PRWEB Sep 22, 2004]

Increased Pump Diaphragm Life
Recently, a manufacturer of metal soup cans located in New Jersey approached Blacoh Fluid Control with a problem. They were using 2" air diaphragm pumps attached to the bottom of a 35' tall tank to transfer a solution used to line the cans. Their problem was that the pumps were fitted with costly PTFE diaphragms that failed after a short period of time due to the high positive inlet pressure to the pump. Additionally, the pump’s sealing clamp bands leaked, causing excessive downtime and sanitation concerns. Finally, the pumps were noisy and vibrated violently during normal operation. To eradicate these issues, Blacoh Fluid Control, in cooperation with their local distributor, installed one 2” J2400T Stainless Steel and PTFE inlet stabilizer. This created a smooth flow into the pump, which lessened strain on the pump’s sealing clamps, reduced noise and vibration, and dramatically increased pump diaphragm life. [PRWEB Sep 22, 2004]
