Process Pumps - NOVAPLEX

Process Pumps NOVAPLEXNOVAPLEX pumps are powerful diaphragm process pumps for a variety of applications. They are best suited for critical high pressure installations. Additionally, they can be used when the capability of classical metering pumps is exceeded.

Process Pump Applications:

NOVAPLEX Pumps are ideal for toxic or chemically aggressive liquids, and for slurries/ suspensions with particle sizes up to 100 µm. Typical industrial fields are the chemical and petrochemical industry, the Oil and Gas industry, the pharmaceutical industry and also the food industry.

Examples of Liquids:

  • Ammonia
  • Butane
  • Hydrocarbon condensate
  • Latex emulsion
  • Liquid CO2
  • LPG
  • Methanol
  • Naphtha
  • Raney Nickel Suspension
  • Sulphuric acid
  • Toluene
  • Water

Examples of Process Pump Duties:

  • Reactor feed pump
  • High pressure injection pump
  • Transfer pump
  • Re-circulation pump

Features of Process Pumps:

  • Double diaphragm pumpheads with positive diaphragm position control
  • Double diaphragm pumpheads with built-in pressure relief valve
  • Crank gears with integrated lubrication system
  • Crank gear bearings executed as anti-friction bearings
  • Modular concept

Advantages of Process Pumps:

Excellent Emission Control

  • Double diaphragm design offers double containment against product leakage.
  • Anti friction bearings result in minimized energy consumption.

High Reliability

  • Bran+Luebbe diaphragm pumphead design has proven it's suitability for severe industrial applications several thousand times. A diaphragm service life time of 20.000 operating hours is no exception.
  • Bran+Luebbe diaphragm pumpheads are save against damage by overload due to built-in pressure relief valve.
  • The simple and well-proven immersion lubrication is a system without any wear parts.

Simplified Maintenance

  • All pumpheads are equipped with ­interface for off-line diagnosis system.
  • Modular concept allows easy access to any part of the pump.

Minimized Life Cycle Cost

  • The exclusive use of anti friction bearings reduces energy consumption to almost theoretical minimum.
  • No measures needed to control emission of pumped liquid due to diaphragm concept. Zero leakage is an inherent property of this pump.
