SEKO’s Innovative Patented Technology Enhances Spring Pumps

30 Oct 2019  |
A common complaint among spring-return pump users is that the reciprocating motion components can have difficulty in matching the motion of the eccentric, especially in low-suction-pressure work conditions. This can cause multiple issues including shock and a reduction in flow, operating life, precision and repeatability.

SEKO, one of the world’s leading dosing pump manufacturers, has drawn upon decades of expertise to develop a new innovative system to help finally solve this limitation – with the groundbreaking technology granted a patent from the World Intellectual Property Organization.

Integrated into the Spring MS1 mechanical diaphragm dosing pump, the Assisted Vacuum Systems (AVS) device seals the rear chamber of the pump with a one-way valve to allow venting of air and generates a controlled vacuum in the back chamber of the membrane.

Spring MS1's multiple combinations of pump head and motor power allow the selection of the optimal combination most suited to the specific application.

This provides as much as 10% improvement in volumetric efficiency, effectively making the pump self-calibrating and permits a high number of strokes per minute without jeopardising equipment lifespan – delivering performance and efficiency but not the risk of early failure.

The reduced stress on components not only minimizes noise and mechanical stress levels but also means a lower routine maintenance requirement and yet another cost saving for the user.

By solving the familiar issue with spring-return pumps, SEKO helps operators across multiple liquid dosing and transfer applications to significantly improve reliability, efficiency and performance while extending their equipment’s operational life.
