Our Challenge
A customer of ours had a Health and Safety nightmare, potentially - creating snow!
The site was a film set which required large amounts of snow. The issue was running flameproofed electrics around the site, cables, high voltage etc. In fact, this was banned before it even started.
However, the high pressure needed for the job required industrial pumps in stainless steel, to cope with the liquids being handled.
Our Solution
Choosing vertical in-line multistage pumps with all stainless-steel wetted components, and instead of using their normal electric motors, used air driven motors. Non-standard couplings and motors stools were fabricated to allow the mating of the pump and the drive.
The air motors run from a compressed air source, and while not as efficient as a direct electrical source, it did mean that the job could be safely accomplished with only running an air hose. Also, the air drives have other advantages in that they can be regulated to run at any speed, either under or over that normally rated for the pump without inverters or any other electrical controls, merely using an air valve.
Customer Benefits
For little more than the cost of the manufacturers standard electrical drive, we were able to save many thousands of pounds in electrical installation costs and more importantly, meet all of the Health and Safety requirements on a sensitive site.
