Hydra-Cell Pumps Overview

Hydra-Cell®
Seal-less Design Advantages

When we say “Simply Built to Last”, we mean it!

Hydra-Cell positive displacement diaphragm pumps feature a seal-less pumping chamber so there are no seals, packing or cups to leak or replace. The seal-less design and check valves enable Hydra-Cell to handle abrasives and particulates that would damage other types of pumps.
In addition, Hydra-Cell can run dry indefinitely without damage to the pump.
The multiple-diaphragm design of Hydra-Cell provides virtually pulse-less, linear flow without the need for expensive pulsation dampeners.

Economical

Real Savings from using Hydra-Cell pumps

  • Can save approximately 30% to 50% on initial costs because Hydra-Cell uses lower horsepower motors to achieve the same flow rates and pressures as other pumps.
  • Compact design with smaller footprint provides more efficient use of floor space.
  • Operates at 85-90% energy efficiency to reduce operating costs.
  • Seal-less design reduces maintenance and repair expenditures and minimizes the cost of spare parts compared to other types of pumps.

Capable

Hydra-Cell pumps can deal with abrasive liquids

  • Tolerates abrasive solids and particulate matter up to 800 microns (depending on pump model) and 9 hardness (Mohs) without the need for fine filtration.
  • Multiple diaphragms provide virtually pulse-less flow that exceeds API 675 standards for accuracy, linearity, and repeatability.
  • Low-shear pumping action ensures integrity of long-chain structures.

Environmental

Hydra-Cell pumps are environmentally friendly

  • Liquids are 100% sealed from the atmosphere.
  • No leak path for toxic vapors or harmful gasses.
  • No seals to leak any Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC).
  • Lower energy costs to operate pump.

Versatile

Versatility of Hydra-Cell pumps is unmatched

  • Variety of styles and models to pump a wide range of flow capacities and pressure ratings.
  • Hydraulically-balanced diaphragms can pump low-to-high- viscosity liquids throughout the entire pressure range of the pump.
  • Available in a variety of construction materials to meet a wide range of applications and ensure optimum pumping life even when handling aggressive fluids.
  • Can be fitted with SAE, ANSI or DIN flanges as well as IEC or NEMA motor mounts.
  • Can be provided with ATEX certification or other certification to adapt to specific applications or meet international standards.
  • Design allows for easy interchangeability of pump head materials and can accommodate mixing different materials with one pump head.

Reliable

Hydra-Cell pumps are most reliable

  • Can run dry without damage to the pump.
  • Robust design tolerates non-ideal operating conditions.
  • No seals, packing or cups to leak or replace.
  • Typically runs up to 6,000 hours between lubricating oil changes.
  • Can pump acids, slurries and liquids containing up to 40% of non-dissolved solids.
  • Does not rely on the fluid being pumped for lubrication.
  • No tight tolerances susceptible to corrosion or solid particles.

  • “If the owner of a plant wants cost-effective pumps... he will buy pumps with the lowest Life Cycle Cost. Hydra-Cell is simple in construction, less elaborate in design and physically smaller for equivalent flow/pressure performance. These differences can substantially affect both purchase and operating costs.”
    Dr. Ing Friedrich Wilhelm Hennecke, Chemical Engineering World
