TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENTS
KLAUS UNION NO VISCO® BEARINGS
Our new NoVisco® bearings can handle extreme solid loads and require no hydrodynamic lubrication film. Thus they do not require any minimum viscosity whatsoever.
This enables Klaus Union pumps to handle applications reliably and without the use of any utilities which were previously impossible to handle reliably with magnetic coupled pumps.
PULLOUT DESIGN FOR VERTICALLY SUSPENDED (SUMP) PUMPS WITH MAGNET DRIVE
Clean and safe maintenance of vertically suspended (sump) pumps with magnet drive
TEMPERATURE MONITORING SYSTEM (TPX)
To further optimize the process reliability of Klaus Union’s magnetically coupled pumps, the TPX temperature monitoring system enables accurate and instantaneous measurement of the containment can temperature.
HYBRID DOUBLE CONTAINMENT SHELL
To reduce the heat generated by a purely metallic, double containment shell and at the same time to improve the overall efficiency of the pump, Klaus Union has developed and patented a new hybrid double containment shell.
Secondary mechanical seal
Secondary mechanical seal as a cost efficient additional layer of safety for magnetic coupled pumps in particularly hazardous applications.
Non-Metallic Containment Shells
Through the use of non-metallic containment shells instead of the traditionally used metallic containment shells, Klaus Union eliminates eddy current losses and increases the efficiency of magnet drive pumps significantly.
Dry Running Design
For the case of a flow interruption, Klaus Union has developed the RTZ Design for magnet drive centrifugal pumps.
Pumps according to this special design conveying water-like media can handle a dry run on suction side for up to 10 minutes. The increase of the containment shell surface temperature is relatively slight.
Handling Liquids Containing Solids
Available design features for magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps to safely handle liquids containing solids.
Greased-for-life Lubrication
Effective from August 1, 2016, Klaus Union offers greased- for-life antifriction bearings (2Z/WT: two sealing discs) for pumps with grease lubricated drive frame as a standard.
The upgrade does not incur a cost adder. It provides various benefits for customers.
