Product Description of Walchem EHE31E1-VC Chemical Metering Pump

Walchem’s EHE31E1-VC chemical metering pump belongs to the EHE series, which are categorized under E-series metering pumps. These pumps are known as the workhorse of E-series. These pumps are designed to perform in harshest process environments.

E-series pumps are manufactured to provide high-speed performance. These pumps operate at 360-strokes per minute, which indicates its capability to provide chemical feed at high resolution. However, most other competitive products in the market operate at lower speeds, and also have various disadvantages.

The pumps from E-series feature dual bearing support. This means, the shaft and the armature feature bearings on their ends. These bearings help ensure appropriate axial movement, thereby enabling the pumps to perform 360 SPM while improving the diaphragm life.

There are dual check assemblies in both discharge, as well as suction fittings. These assemblies are equipped with ball guides, as well as tapered seats. The parts are molded and precisely machined. This helps ensure the full seating and sealing of the ball with every stroke. Also, the excellent check valve design helps ensure reliable performance, as well as fast priming.

All EHE series Walchem pumps are known for their high compression ratio, which helps ensure proper feed. The compression ratio depicts the ability of the pump to prime and vent. The feed is especially advantageous for off-gassing products (such as sodium hypochlorite). The pump is equipped with microprocessor-based control circuitry because it allows operator to adjust pump speed, as well as external speed buttons through a 4-button keypad.

The EHE metering pumps are WQA tested. Also, these pumps are certified to ANSI/NSF Standard 50 and Standard 61.
