Blackmer Adds Models To Its NP, X Pump Series
GRAND RAPIDS, MI.-Blackmer®,
part of PSG®, has added the NPH and
XH series sliding vane pump models to
its NP and X series product families.
According to the company, both the
XH series pumps, designed to handle a
wide range of noncorrosive and nonabrasive industrial liquids and petroleum products, and the NPH series pumps, which
are used for handling viscous or shear-

sensitive fluids, feature the same performance characteristics as the NP and X
series models. They are available in 2inch, 2.5-inch, 3-inch and 4-inch sizes.
Users can choose between 90- and
180-degree porting. Blackmer points out
that other brands may not allow 180degree porting in all pump sizes.
Standard features on both pump models
include an internal relief valve that protects
against excessive pressures, a smaller
motor for lower operational costs, high
volumetric efficiency, and symmetrical
bearing support for extended life, Blackmer
says. The company adds that the sliding
vane method of operation improves performance and energy-efficiency while reducing maintenance costs.

Rittal Adds Stainless Steel
To Its TS 8 Enclosure Line
SCHAUMBURG, IL.-Rittal Corp. has
released a harsh-environment 316 stainless
steel version of its flagship product, the
TS 8 enclosure. With more than 10 million
TS 8 units sold worldwide, the company
says the enclosure has proven itself in
manufacturing, medical and wind power
applications.
The 316 stainless steel iteration extends
the TS 8's applications to oil and gas installations, Rittal reports.
"Many industries have been looking
for a more rugged version of our flexible
and modular TS 8 that can endure harsh
settings where corrosion is a way of life,"
says Glenn Wishnew, Rittal's senior product manager. "316 stainless steel meets
that need, while still allowing the TS 8 to
deliver on its design innovations, namely
expandability by baying, lower weight
for reduced transportation costs, 30 percent
more mounting space within, and far
easier assembly and disassembly for reduced labor costs and time."
The UL Type 4X modular enclosure
system provides flexibility, strength, durability and scalability in a freestanding
enclosure cabinet that can be connected
to other TS 8s, the company says.
