Dosing pumps

PRIMEROY®: ECO-DESIGN IN APPLICATION

During the development of the PRIMEROY^® dosing pump, our R&D engineers performed a comparative study of the advantages and disadvantages of the various existing concepts. The following points (besides aspects relating to standards and regulations) were taken into account:
- Cost
- Compactness
- Weight
- Number of parts
- Footprint
- Painted surface
- Oil volumes
- Transmissible power.

Our eco-design initiative culminated in the 2007 launch of the PRIMEROY^®, a dosing pump with incontestable environmental benefits (*):

• Raw materials: 40% reduction in energy consumption and 160 kg CO2 equivalent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions per pump, and 37% reduction in impact on human toxicity
• Transport: it is difficult to put a figure on this due to the wide variety of destinations, but there is a definite impact due to a 43% weight reduction and 46% volume reduction
• Consumables (oil): over the 20-year service life of the pump, the user will use half as much oil, a saving of around 500 litres per pump
• Recycling: the PRIMEROY® is approximately 95% recyclable by weight (no glued parts) and has almost 30% less painted surface area

(*) Data calculated by comparison with MILROYAL® B dosing pumps

Although eco-design is a new initiative, these few figures show just how relevant it is; and, while protecting the planet, there are economic benefits for the manufacturer and user.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

ADVANTAGES

The PRIMEROY^® is based on a brand new device, the diaphragm GSD (Global security device – patent pending) what provides:

• Smaller total pump footprint (up to 75% less floor space)
• Enhanced robustness
• A triple hydraulic security
  • Internal pressure safety valve
  • Diaphragm controlled hydraulic oil refill
  • Protection valve preventing from diaphragm overrunning and extrusion
• Display of any discrepancy in the dosing process thanks to the IMI system (Installation Monitoring Indicator)
• Contour plate-free technology allows for dosing of all types of fluid (clear, corrosive, toxic, volatile, abrasive, flammable, and above all slurries or viscous liquids)
• No risk of oil mixing (hydraulic and mechanical) as only one oil type is needed for the liquid end and mechanical parts

TECHNICAL CARACTERISTICS

• Maximum flow rate: 3,300 l/h
• Maximum pressure: 45 bar
• Maximum process temperature: +75 °C
• Preformed unrolling diaphragm (avoiding any elongation or creep of the PTFE) ensures diaphragm service life in excess of 20,000 hours
• Available liquid ends: metallic (316L stainless steel) or plastic
• Continuous diaphragm position control
• Diaphragm with integrated o-ring for ease of maintenance
• Diaphragm fitted with mechanical stop safety system
• Same oil used for liquid end and drive
• Permanent oil filtering
• Internal safety valve with integrated air bleed, patented. Adjustable pressure setting
• Mechanical oil compensation system
• Large suction capacity: up to 8 m water
• API 675 compliant
• In accordance with ATEX CE EX II 2 G/D c T3 or T4 on request
