Flowrox, the heavy-duty industrial valve manufacturing and services company, is launching its Flowrox Expulse™ product, designed to assist during pump and dampener maintenance by reducing noise and vibration associated with traditional methods—which can lead to pipe damage that can cause breakage and a loss of revenue.
The Flowrox Expulse was designed for use by companies in the oil & gas, mining, metallurgy, and other industries where pipes and valves are used to move materials or fluids using pressure—and Flowrox’s reputation in these industries covers multiple product lines and solutions. Traditional pulsating pump dampeners are known to produce unbalanced shaking that can result in failure or operational drawbacks, which in turn require additional add-ons and devices to counter its challenges. One of the most noticeable features on the Flowrox Expulse is the product’s ability to reduce energy consumption in your operation by up to 10 percent, largely as a result of its absorption of up to 90 percent of pulsations. In addition, the device’s reduction in the hammering of the pipeline and pump can lead to extended operational lifetime for the pump bearing and gearbox—two critical components in pipeline operations that face wear and tear in high-performance environments.
