Quattroflow’s positive displacement pumps incorporate a four piston-diaphragm technology with no mechanical seals that is driven by an eccentric shaft and motor.  Quattroflow products primarily serve the pharmaceutical and biotech industries that require reliability, product safety, purity and cleanability. This innovative pump technology can be found in multiple or single use applications such as cross-flow systems, chromatography devices and centrifuges.

 

Dean Douglas, President of Dover’s Pump Solutions Group said, “This acquisition is consistent with PSG’s strategic vision.  We believe that Quattroflow’s strengthens our PSG product portfolio and adds greater technological depth to our core markets of Pharmaceutical and Bio Tech.  Quattroflows innovative technology will complement PSG’s Hygienic product portfolio, ultimately providing our customers the best solution and Total Cost of Ownership for any particular application within the markets we serve”.

 

The Pump Solutions Group (PSG) was formed to deliver cohesion, synergies and relevant value to customers with superior products, world class operations, and a commitment to the fluid transfer space. PSG welcomes Quattroflow to a family portfolio of premium pump technologies that service a broad array of quality industrial applications and includes global brands Almatec, Blackmer, EnviroGear, Griswold, Mouvex, Neptune, RedScrew and Wilden.

The latest generation of the FUTUR series, the FUTUR-Omega, have been named a 2011 Innovation Award winner by United States-based Flow Control magazine. Flow Control's Innovation Awards program, which is in its 14th year, is an annual competition designed to recognize the year's most compelling advances in fluid-handling technology. After the votes of the magazine's readers were tabulated, the FUTUR-Omega was named a 2011 Innovation Award winner. In 2010 ALMATEC had already received this "Innovation-Award" with the E-SERIES pumps.

Thanks to all who made this success possible. It confirms the efforts of ALMATEC always to define the state of the art of air-operated diaphragm pumps.

 

 

In addition to stationary pneumatic diaphragm pumps mobile units are also required in many production plants. Mobile pumping stations of ALMATEC are used, for example, as emergency pumps, as temporary replacements for pumps under repair, or for transferring liquids from one movable container to another.

They consist of the stainless steel trolley, the ALMATEC pneumatic diaphragm pump (E-SERIES or CHEMICOR series) with pulsation damper, and the supplementary equipment (air supply with claw coupling, filter pressure reducer, control valve, and the internal connections to pump and damper).

For an emergency pump it is advantageous to use PTFE conductive as housing material. Because of the nearly universal chemical resistance of PTFE, there is no need to check the resistance against the liquid, an important time saving factor. Moreover, the conductive material allows the use of the pump without difficulties in explosion-proof areas and for inflammable liquids.

Mobile pumping stations are an indispensable part of the emergency equipment required in every company.

 

 

The readers of the magazine “cav” (chemie-anlagen+verfahren) have elected the E-SERIES of ALMATEC as “Top-Product of the month October 2010”. Four products were up for election and with a voting of 59% the E-SERIES was victorious.

This additional award features the user’s outstanding evaluation criterion of the product quality.

 

 

Dover Corporation (NYSE: DOV) has announced the establishment of the Pump Solutions Group (PSG) within its Fluid Solutions platform. The Pump Solutions Group joins the brands, Wilden, Blackmer, Almatec, Mouvex, Griswold and Neptune to form a cohesive pump organization with a variety of pump technologies. PSG's strategy is to leverage each company's strong brand recognition while taking advantage of synergies within the group's distribution, manufacturing footprint and supply chains. It also expects to leverage best practices and streamline back-office support functions. The group will look to improve upon its geographic sales mix, which is now over 50% international, by leveraging its greater critical mass. The PSG will foster significant business integration while preserving each individual company's strong product development, customer focus and brand positioning.
