Chemical pumps
Savino Barbera, Italy, manufactures chemical pumps for
industrial applications, production lines and ecological
facilities where resistance to chemical aggression must be
coupled with reliability and easy maintenance.
These types of pump (vertical pumps, in this case) are
suitable for metal treatment processes, in particular for wire
treatment machines and similar installations. Their particular
construction eliminates the possibility of any contact
between metal parts and the liquids, while the selection
of materials and manufacturing technologies ensures
compatibility with the products handled, a long operating life
and conformity with the standards in force.
The adoption of pumps with these characteristics eliminates,
even in case of breaks, hazardous leaks and the need for
openings on the bottom of the basins or tanks, allowing the
safe pumping of chemical substances. Savino Barbera’s AS
series of single-stage, vertical centrifugal pumps are suitable
for transfer, recycling and distributing corrosive liquids.
The pumps are recommended for installation in cisterns,
tanks or wells with variable head. The manufacturing
technologies, the materials employed and the hydraulic
design adopted permit the vertical AS pumps to satisfy
plant specifications for chemical products. Hydraulics are
optimised using open, closed and recessed impellers, and
impellers with different speeds of rotation in accordance
with the constraints imposed by the plants, the nature of the
liquids or the working processes.

Transportable electric furnace
with forced air circulation
I LE S Srl, Italy, has launched a new furnace for stabilisation
in the continuous production of micro-springs up to 0.6mm
in diameter. The furnace is designed to be linked directly to
winding, coiling and bending machines, in order to reduce
working time. Heat treatment takes place at the same
conditions of temperature and stay time for all springs.
The parts move forward continuously, without collisions or
vibrations, resulting in a steady, reliable production, while the
springs are able to rotate freely. The 70mm wide conveyor
belt has a useful length of 500mm, and has been designed
to avoid entanglement of the springs.
