LEAK-FREE MAG-DRIVE PUMPS IDEAL FOR HAZARDOUS APPLICATIONS
hazardous liquids. Magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps, are by design, one of the safest and most reliable options and the DICKOW KM Series of pumps is an excellent example of a safe, reliable and competitively priced pump for these types of applications.

Available from pumping specialists MICHAEL SMITH ENGINEERS, the KM Series is a range of sealless, single-stage, volute casing pumps with a maximum flow rate of 70m³/hr maximum differential heads to 65 metres and maximum operating temperature up to 200ºC. A key benefit of the magnetic coupling design is that it results in a sealless pump and because mechanical seal failure is sometimes regarded as the ‘Achilles heel’ of other types of pump, these potential problems are eliminated. This minimises the potential for downtime and lost production along with no cross contamination of the pumped liquid, less wastage, no environmental hazards due to leaks and increased operator safety.
These robust, reliable pumps can handle liquids with viscosities between 0.1 cP and 200 cP and are available in either horizontal or vertical configuration and in a choice of wetted materials of either cast iron, cast steel and stainless steel. The vertical configuration option with the motor mounted on the top eliminates the need for a base plate so is ideal when space is limited.
The single elements of the multipolar magnet coupling are manufactured from Cobalt- Samarium with unlimited lifetime durability while the magnets in the driven rotor are completely encapsulated and not in contact with the liquid.

LIGHT’S ON AT CAE GLAS PARK L
eading manufacturer of low energy light bulbs,
Megaman has had a number of its innovative lightning solutions installed at Cae Glas Park. The new lighting design is part of an important refurbishment project in Oswestry, Shropshire.
The renovation project focussed on the refurbishment of public toilets in Cae Glas Park. After years without being renovated, the old toilet block had started to look dated and was showing signs of wear and tear. Oswestry Town Council approached its electrical contractor partner, Highline Electrical for a solution. Following a meeting with its merchant partner, the contractor was recommended Megaman’s low-energy lighting solutions.
After being impressed with the company’s technologies, the contractor met with Megaman’s Project & Specification BDM, Lloyd Robson to discuss the refurbishment plan. During the meeting, Megaman’s team drew up a design to replace the lighting units in the toilet. The new lighting solution emitted the appropriate lux levels, but also helped to significantly reduce energy consumption. What is more, the new system was designed to run off a dedicated solar panel, which was installed at the top of the structure.

After agreeing on the plan, Highline Electrical Ltd met with the council who signed off Megaman’s lighting design. The council were impressed with the planned refurbishment and gave the contractors the greenlight to begin work. In total, the team fitted over 20 new Megaman lighting units. Included in this installation were Megaman’s RICO LED Downlights as well as its FONDA Integrated LED Bulkhead. Both ranges have been designed, tested and produced to comply with the necessary environmental legislation and industry codes of practice.
