Pneumatic systems can often be complicated beasts if you’re unfamiliar with these types of set-ups. It might sound old fashioned, but the best way to familiarise yourself with something new is to dive in and learn first-hand. Luckily for you, Festo have done the hard work and designed a training module to push you along on your pneumatics learning journey.

The environment is the lifeblood of our planet, but it's become a pressing concern that it's not treated with the respect it rigthly deserves. It's a far cry from the condition it should be in. But by making subtle changes, and adopting greener processes, the ideal world in which we seek could become a step closer.

Whatever recipe you are blending, mixing or formulating - food, beverage or pharmaceutical - there's one ingredient that can put the whole process at risk. A human. So introducing an automated in-line or batch blending system to the mix will increase efficiency, productivity and repeatability of your process. And if it's an ERIKS system, it can do even more.

Extensive testing has suggested that a large amount of energy required in a pump was to overcome the resistance in the pump and used to fill dead space in the air chambers. While another major issue is pumps stalling when turned down to lower air pressures to save energy or being pumped against a closed valve.

Sorry. We know the summer has hardly been and gone, but we've already had the longest day, the nights are drawing in, and soon, facilities managers all over the country will be thinking about turning their heating pumps back on - which means now's the time to make sure they are as efficient as they can be.

In Silicon Valley they say "Fail early, fail fast, fail often." That may be okay when you're developing a new software app, but it won't wash with pressure equipment. Failure here can release compressed liquid, steam or other gases, can start a fire with escaping flammable liquids or gases, and can even cause a life- or property-threatening blast. So at ERIKS, we say "Test regularly, test correctly, don't fail at all."

Most pump failures are caused by human failings in installation or maintenance. But get those right and you can minimise failure risk, extend the pump's useful life, and even increase its efficiency and reliability.

It’s 10 years since SEEPEX revolutionised progressive cavity pump efficiency, with the launch of Smart Conveying Technology (SCT), but their drive for optimum pump performance hasn’t stopped there.

Choosing the right chemicals pump is a matter of concentration. While everyone knows that sulphuric acid, for example, is exceptionally corrosive, its corrosiveness depends on its concentration and temperature. So which material to choose for a pump when sulphuric acid is the pumping medium is not as simple as it might seem.
