| New Pump Family for the Pulp and Paper Industry (13/10/2005, Technical News) |
|
|
At the 2005 exhibition of the Swedish association of pulp and paper engineers (SPCI) Sulzer Pumps launched AhlstarUP, a new, high efficiency pump family for the pulp and paper industry. In addition to the requirements this segment, the new pumps meet many requirements of the hydrocarbon processing and the oil and gas industries in offsites situations where API 610 standards are not mandated. This applies to shaft sealing, shaft sealing pipework, couplings and explosive atmospheres (ATEX) needs. The new pump series is module changeable so that existing Ahlstar pumps can be updated with more efficient and reliable modules from the new pump series, for example wet end, sealing unit or bearing unit.

| MAXIT® CrN-mod: a special coating for plastics processing (22/08/2005, Technical News) |
|
|
Maxit CrN-mod was developed by Metaplas Ionon (a Sulzer Metco Company) especially for processing of highly adhesive plastic and elastomer materials. The thin, specially doped cover coating of CrN-mod coatings forms a glass like structure with a very low degree of surface energy. This leads to highly wear resistant surfaces with an extremely weak tendency of sticking. The chromium nitride coatings (CrN) are deposited using the PVD arc process. CrN coatings have much better adhesive properties and lower friction levels than other classic hard coatings. In October, Metaplas Ionon is going to present Maxit CrN-mod at the Fakuma, an international trade fair for plastics processing, in Friedrichshafen, Germany.
