CSA / CSI Pumps with ZeroLoss

PEEK Containment Shell Eliminates Eddy Current Heating and Improves Pump Efficiency

Reduced power consumption and hence energy savings, bringing a lower carbon footprint, is one of the significant reasons why the ZeroLoss containment shell is being specified on more and more HMD Kontro pumps, including the CSA / CSI range for chemical applications. ZeroLoss also brings improved handling of liquefied gases and heat-sensitive liquids.

The PEEK (Poly-Ether-Ether-Ketone) composite containment shell is highly durable, combining low weight with a higher specific strength, which will withstand a pressure of almost 19 bar / 275 psi.

Induction losses, associated with a traditional metallic containment shell, are completely eliminated, so allowing significant energy savings during operation. This can often also contribute to lower capital and installation costs because a smaller motor can be used to drive the pump, so also saving space.

Another benefit of the ZeroLoss containment shell, versus a metallic shell, is that less heat is transferred into the liquid being pumped. The CSA / CSI, when fitted with a ZeroLoss shell, can accommodate temperatures of between -40°C and up to 120°C / -40°F to 248°F.

The ZeroLoss shell is provided with a built-in vortex breaker, within the crown, to eliminate shell erosion. For further information on ZeroLoss, please click here. For further information on the CSA / CSI range of ASME and ISO chemical pumps, please click here.

The Latest Sealless Technology to Improve Site Safety

CSA/CSI Modularity = Versatility / Reliability / Safety / Serviceability / Availability

The safety of your staff team and eliminating or minimising the impact of manufacturing and other operations on both the local and wider environment is an essential, legal and moral obligation. The containment shell in a magnetic drive pump provides a complete mechanical barrier, preventing leaks, escapes and emissions. There is no reliance on any internal or external seal system or method of prevention.

When it comes to applications that involve toxic, fine, corrosive, aggressive and valuable liquids, our new CSA (ASME) / CSI (ISO) magnetic drive pumps for chemical and industrial processes deliver the ultra-safe, dependable, and reliable performance that engineers demand and that both environmental health and safety, plus industrial regulations, require.

In certain highly challenging applications, compliance with stringent standards calls for a secondary control or containment option to be available, completely eliminating the possibility of a leak of pumped product to escape, in the highly unlikely event of a containment shell failure. In the CSA / CSI product line we have taken the secondary control / containment options further by not only ensuring both options are available on separately mounted pumps but also on close-coupled units, which we believe is unique to HMD Kontro.

The new HMD Kontro CSA (ASME) / CSI (ISO) sealless pump range is specifically designed to be completely leak and emission-free, keeping the pumping media completely enclosed within the body of the pump, exactly where it should be.
