Watson-Marlow Fluid Technology Solutions (WMFTS) highlights their full range of Bredel and Qdos peristaltic pumps, ideal for mining's most demanding transfer & metering applications. WMFTS will showcase these solutions in booth #10565 at MINExpo September 24th - 26th at the Las Vegas Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mines around the world are replacing centrifugal pumps with hose pumps, which are far less affected by such fluid dynamics as paste density, viscosity, suction conditions, and discharge pressure. Hose pumps are also unaffected by the abrasive and aggressive nature of paste and chemicals. Unlike centrifugal and progressing cavity pumps, the peristaltic design of Bredel hose and Qdos metering pumps contain no moving parts that come into contact with the product with no seals, ball-checks, diaphragms, glands, immersed rotors, stators or pistons to leak, clog, corrode or replace.
Bredel & Qdos pumps also eliminate the need for ancillary equipment, including dry-run protection and seal water flush systems. A simple replacement hose or cartridge change takes only minutes or even seconds and can be performed in-situ without special tools or skilled personnel.
The low maintenance peristaltic design offers a low total cost of ownership. As the fluid is safely contained within the pump, operation and maintenance personnel and the environment are protected from unwanted spillages or exposure to chemicals.
Bredel & Qdos pumps are dry-running, self-priming and allow no slippage for true positive displacement to provide accurate and repeatable metering. Flow is entirely independent of suction and discharge conditions.
The new Qdos H-FLO enhances the range of Qdos pumps by offering flow rates up to 158 gallons per hour (600 L/h) and pressure capability up to 102 psi (7 bar). Like the rest of the Qdos range of peristaltic pumps, Qdos H-FLO cuts costs through higher precision chemical metering, with an accuracy of ±1% and repeatability of ±0.5% in dosing.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection
The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
