has introduced a new range of liquid ring vacuum pumps and compressors.
Designated the SIHILPH-X range, it presents a fresh approach to superior-performance cost-effective vacuum-pump solutions. Pumps and compressors are available in various materials, designs and sizes.
The SIHILPH-X range, which incorporates the best features of the established SIHI LPHA range, offers overall design improvements, reduces parts complexity and cuts life-cycle costs.
The main benefits are reduced maintenance and spare-parts requirements and enhanced reliability - all of which add up to increased customer satisfaction.
Versatility, interchangeability, cost-effectiveness (in operation and maintenance) and compliance with the latest safety legislation were key considerations in the development of the new SIHILPH-X range.
The suction volumes of the SIHILPH-X vacuum pumps range from 40 to 850 cubic metres an hour with suction pressures ranging from 33 to 1013 millibars. To ensure wide applicability, the pumps are offered in a variety of materials and sealing combinations and have universal flanges.
The SIHILPH-X range is suitable for industries such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and beverage production, plastics processing, electronics manufacture, health care and marine. Applications include distillation, drying, degassing, filling, sterilisation and product transfer.
In addition, the SIHILPH-X range is compatible with Category 1 (gas handling) and Category 2 (external environment) applications without the need for flame arresters (according to the latest ATEX regulations).
The SIHILPH-X range is designed to provide a high level of operational reliability with great economy. Cost-effectiveness is achieved through competitive pricing, modular construction and full interchangeability (of pumps and key wearing parts) with models in the earlier SIHI LPHA range.
Cost-effectiveness is also achieved in the service and maintenance field through seal accessibility, improved sealing technology and fewer seals; cavitation protection; integral crossover pipe design; and more robust bearings.
The SIHILPH-X range, a product of state-of-the art technology and innovative design, is integrated with the SIHI RAPID pump-selection software and eBusiness programmes. This facilitates pump selection, pricing and ordering.
