Check out this quick troubleshooting guide that describes some common centrifugal pump problems, their likely causes, and what to do about them.

You might be familiar with our revolutionary sliding vane technology, but how much do you know about our vane construction offerings? Blackmer® Sliding Vane Pumps are available in a variety of materials to better meet your unique application requirements. However, the vane composition itself must be taken into careful consideration, as the vane must be strong enough to withstand the stresses of pressure, centrifugal and mechanical forces. Each application also demands chemical compatibility and good wear properties to support a long life of vane performance.

When looking to run an efficient and trouble-free operation, air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump users need to keep in mind the following challenging pump conditions: liquid pulsation, water hammer and piping noise. Luckily, the solution to these challenges can be found in the Wilden Equalizer® Series Integral Surge Dampener (ISD).

Why is total dynamic head relevant when assessing centrifugal pump performance? Read our newest Centrifugal Pump Minute to discover why calculating total dynamic head is so important to centrifugal pump operators.

Blackmer® is pleased to announce that Bob Lauson, General Manager of Blackmer, recently participated in the 2021 Annual Economic Development Report video for the Grand Rapids Office of Economic Development.

Lubricating liquids and petroleum products keep industries around the world functioning. To meet this global demand, operators require fluid transport solutions capable of optimizing loading and unloading. Two of the most used positive displacement (PD) pumping technologies for fuel offloading are external gear pumps and sliding vane pumps. While both pump designs have proven trustworthy in their own ways, there are multiple key performance parameters that may lead to sliding vane pumps being the better choice for liquid loading and unloading via truck. What are these key parameters? Find out by reading the complete white paper.

Thousands of paint & coatings manufacturers across the globe choose to install air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) technology to help them meet growing demands while controlling costs, optimizing uptime performance, and complying with environmental requirements. Why AODD? Perhaps it has something to do with an AODD pump’s ability to offer the highest levels of flexibility and performance in terms of reliability, product-loss prevention, environmental protection and energy efficiency.

Blackmer®, part of PSG®, a Dover company, and the leading global provider of sliding vane, gear, regenerative turbine and centrifugal pump, and reciprocating compressor technologies for the transfer of liquids and gases, is pleased to announce the release of several new product brochures.

Ecover is showcasing a new liquid refill machine using Quantex Recyclable Pumps, as a part of its Refillery event experience this week. The new machine is an exciting leap forward for retail bulk dispensing, making maintenance and consumer interaction simple, quick and easy.

Check out our latest Centrifugal Pump Minute to find out how calculating and operating your centrifugal pump at its best efficiency point can help optimize system performance.

When Jim Wilden invented air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump technology in 1955, there was only one diaphragm material option. Flash forward to today, and the Wilden menu of diaphragm designs and materials of construction has expanded to the point where there are options that can be dialed in for use in even the most specific or unique liquid-handling applications. So, how much has our offering of AODD diaphragm designs and materials expanded in the past 65+ years? Find out by reading our latest blog.

Mouvex®, a brand of PSG®, a Dover company and a leading manufacturer of specialty pumps, is pleased to announce that its H-FLO Series and G-FLO Series Eccentric Disc Pumps are now available for use in the North American market.

It’s a fact of life in any industry that technologies will evolve over time. So it is with the diaphragms that are an integral component in – and actually give the name to – Wilden® Air-Operated Double-Diaphragm (AODD) pumps.

Improved software optimizes both the stability of the measurement function and the gathering and protection of patient data during the dialysis treatment.

Blackmer®, part of PSG®, a Dover company, and a global leader in pump and compressor technologies, announced today the consolidation of all Grand Rapids-based PSG brands under the Blackmer brand name. As part of this change, EnviroGear® product line will be known as Blackmer Gear Pumps

Automated pump monitoring systems bring a variety of benefits when used in biopharma liquid-processing operations. They can be used to optimize pump performance by giving the operator the ability to automatically control operational parameters while cutting back on the need for manual intervention. This control makes it easier to run simple process steps in biopharma applications more effectively, resulting in precise, consistent results without the need to dedicate time and effort to manual monitoring.

As renewable energies continue to grow more important in the global economy, the solar and photovoltaic industry face increasing demand. However, even before there was a focus on more sustainable energy sources, semiconductor and solar operations held exacting standards for industry pumping applications. Luckily for those involved, Almatec® has developed its air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pumps to meet this growing global demand and the stringent handling requirements in semiconductor/solar applications, offering advanced engineered solutions operators can trust. In fact, Almatec has manufactured a range of specialty pumps for supplying and circulating chemicals in the semiconductor industry since 1984.

Blackmer®, part of PSG®, a Dover company, and a global leader in rotating pumps and reciprocating compressor technologies, is excited to announce the beginning of a new chapter in its 118-year history, 96 of which have taken place at its 190,000-square-foot corporate headquarters at 1809 Century Avenue SW, Grand Rapids, MI, USA.
