Obtain meters and pumps that meet your needs for handling industrial fluids

When it comes to industrial fluids, whether in the chemical or pharmaceutical fields or in water and waste water, there's really no such thing as a universal pump. Liquids with different composition and consistency require different pumps and different meters. Does your business require centrifugal or diaphragm pumps? Would an ultrasonic flow meter work within your system? Match the temperature, flow and viscosity of the liquids in your system with the correct equipment.

I recommend: Enter your system specifications at Watson-Marlow to find the right pumps, or look at Moyno for more options. Find meters appropriate for your work at Hach; you can also check out self-metering pumps at Zenith.

Get the right mixers for handling industrial liquids

In many systems, equipment for handling fluids must include mixers. Whether blending ingredients for food or drug mixtures or adding solvents or chemical treatments to hazardous waste, adhesives or sealants, you need to mix and handle fluids safely.

I recommend: Check out Scott Turbon mixers for small processes or customize equipment for your specific needs. Consider the functionality of various models at Hayward Gordon. Graco has a special "Try-Before-You-Buy" plan for adhesive- and sealant-mixing products.

Round out your system needs with accessory equipment for handling fluids

Handling industrial fluids requires a complex system involving many steps and corresponding equipment. Besides pumps and mixers, many fluid management processes involve filters, valves and other products specific to individualized fluid handling systems. Get the tools you need depending on the processes in your operation.

I recommend: Check into belt and rotating filters, filter presses and screens at Andritz. Neptune has several other fluid handling accessories available.
