Vogelsang (Ravenna, OH) has been one of the world's leading mechanical engineering companies in the field of pumps for decades. Recently, the company has launched the EP series, a line of positive displacement pumps, which was designed specifically around the typical requirements of industrial pumping applications, including those of the oil and gas market.
The EP series handles extreme conditions and constant high pressures. A heavy-duty gearbox allows for a uniform pressure output of up to 260 psi (18 bar), making it one-of-a-kind in its category. The pumps of the EP series consist of a one-piece housing that can reliably pump abrasive, chemically aggressive, and explosive flow media at temperatures of up to 392° F (200° C). Helical gears in the gearbox ensure smooth performance and reduce noise emissions. Pulsation-free conveying reduces wear on the adjacent pipeline while providing a low-shear pumping action.
Vogelsang has additionally equipped its EP series with an AirGap for high operational reliability. The AirGap atmospherically separates the gearbox and pump chamber, ensuring that in the event of a leak, the liquid will drain off to the outside rather than leaking into the gearbox. The AirGap also protects the gearbox when pumping high-temperature media.
The EP series offers groundbreaking seal technology. High pressures, extreme temperatures, and aggressive media are all reasons why Vogelsang worked with well-known manufacturers to develop two new kinds of sealing systems that allow EP series pumps to be used in demanding environments.
