LEWA GmbH has significantly improved the performance of its LEWA ecoflow® LDG process pump. Pumps of the ecoflow series are hydraulically actuated process diaphragm pump in modular construction.
The upgraded model delivers a 15% increase in hydraulic power within the same footprint. The development enables operators to benefit from better performance with no increase in installation space or cost. For example, applying the improved ecoflow LDG at a flow rate of 300 l/h increases the maximum discharge pressure from 659 bar to 713 bar. Conversely, at 100 bar discharge pressure the maximum flow rate increases from 2600 l/h to 2950 l/h.
Reduced space requirements
Optimising productivity in processing applications is a constant challenge. It requires the right combination of pressure and flow rate, and space is always at a premium. Enhancing the power-to-footprint ratio of the ecoflow LDG pump enables customers to specify a smaller unit and achieve higher performance. Compared to the next pump size in the ecoflow range, the LDG can reduce space requirements by up to 40%.
Reinforcing LEWA's commitment to continuous innovation, the upgraded ecoflow LDG represents a power increase from 35kN to 40kN. This innovative approach is aligned with the improvements made last year to its larger sister pump, the LEWA ecoflow LDZ, which raised power output from 45kN to 50kN and improved its performance by 10%.
Modular system for a wide range of applications
The LDG is part of the LEWA ecoflow family, an extensive modular system of diaphragm and packed plunger metering pumps that combines eight drive sizes with six different pump heads. This modular design allows for a high degree of customisation. Further options include different materials and valve types that can be combined to meet specific application criteria including temperature, compressibility, flow rate and pressure. The ecoflow can handle aggressive, abrasive, toxic, and flammable fluids to meet diverse applications in the energy sector, chemical production, pharma, and food and beverage.
Renowned for leak tightness, operational safety and reliability, LEWA ecoflow pumps provide highest metering accuracy, even at high pressures. Their precise and reproducible flow rate can be adapted via stroke length and speed, offering a broad metering range of 1:100 for flexible adjustment to different tasks.
