Do you remember Compumotor—the original innovators of microstepping technology? Parker’s Electromechanical & Drives division was founded on that legacy, and we continue to augment our motion control line with cutting-edge products

Machine designers are increasingly turning to gearheads to take advantage of the latest advances in servo motor technology. Essentially, a gearhead converts high-speed, low-torque energy into low-speed, high-torque output.

The greatest control challenges we see often surround fugitive emissions and the challenges encountered in this area are directly related to the reliability of existing equipment, as well as the use of outdated valve technologies and correct installation procedures to ensure that they are remaining compliant with EPA standards.

A new class of advanced metering pumps! Walchem's IX Series are digitally controlled direct-drive diaphragm pumps. Years of experience in high-end motor technology result in extremely accurate and energy efficient metering pumps with high resolution. 

Metso's Neles ValvGuard™ is a top class intelligent safety solenoid with partial stroke testing features for emergency shutdown and venting valves. Based on the automatic PST and other diagnostics data, VG9000 increases safety and plant safety targets can be reached more economically than with other solutions.

The Walchem LK Series metering pumps are motor-driven, mechanically-actuated diaphragm metering pumps. This larger LK Series can achieve outputs up to 856 GPH (3240 l/h) and maximum pressures of 220 PSI (1.5 MPa). Ideal for chemical feed applications including water treatment, chemical process, agriculture, mining and paper.

The EHE is the workhorse of the E-Series metering pumps. EHE Series pumps have outputs up to 20 GPH (75 l/h) and pressure capabilities to 150 PSI (10 bar). Combining the EHE performance with a turndown ratio of 1800:1 yields one of the most versatile pumps in the water treatment industry today.

EZ Series electronic metering pumps offer precise chemical injection at a low cost. The compact size and simple control make them ideal for water treatment and OEM applications. EZ Series have outputs to 6.3 GPH (24 l/h) and a maximum pressure of 150 PSI ( 10 bar).

The EWN Series electronic metering pumps offer superior high speed dosing capability with more standard features. The flexibility of the EWN pump enable it be integrated into virtually any chemical feed application using a universal-voltage, digital controller with an expanded set of control features.

The EJ Series provide precise chemical injection at an economical price. Universal voltage capability enables operation from 100 - 240VAC in virtually all countries. The EJ Series are compact, simple to operate and have outputs to 1.3 GPH (4.8 LPH) and a maximum pressure of 175 PSI (1.2 MPa).
