Pumping shear sensitive liquids
Published: 24 February, 2014
Pumping shear sensitive materials can be problematical. Shear helps non-Newtonian fluids flow but too much shear can cause temporary or even irrevocable damage. Hydra-Cell diaphragm pumps from WANNER INTERNATIONAL are claimed to impose only low levels of tangential stress on the pumped fluid making them ideal for pumping a wide range of shear sensitive materials.
As soon as the liquid leaves the vessel and enters the suction piping, it begins to shear as the liquid traveling through the middle of the pipe moves in relation to the pipe walls.
Rotary pumps impart more shear between the rotating elements and the stationary casing. However, because Hydra-Cell pumps have no rotating elements in contact with the pumped liquid and no tight internal tolerances, they can impose minimal tangential stress to cause shear.

WANNER INTERNATIONAL has announced it will display its full range of Hydra-Cell diaphragm Process and Metering pumps at Achema 2018 on Stand D51 with the theme: “Hydra-Cell seal-less pump technology… It’s different” and says the unique and advantageous differences will be highlighted with product displays, working demonstrations and cutaway pump models.
WANNER INTERNATIONAL has introduced the Hydra-Cell Intelligent High Pressure Coolant Pump that it claims can save machine tool operators up to 70% of their pump energy costs.
WANNER INTERNATIONAL has announced it has launched a new range of Hydra-Cell. Seal-less, high horsepower, quintuplex diaphragm pumps that it claims eliminates the expense associated with seals and packing, leakage, external lubrication, and emissions.
