Increased capacity, reduced energy consumption
Upgrade your Fluxo pump and achieve productivity and efficiency benefits
Almost 100 years since the Fluxo pump was launched in 1927, the retrofit solution developed in cooperation with Aalborg Portland Cement in Denmark gifts the Fluxo pump with new capabilities, greater capacities and reduced maintenance demands. Retrofits are available for both FLSmidth and third-party pressure vessel systems using existing compressed air supply and the same transport pipe.
Increased conveying capacity
Reduced power consumption
Improved reliability
Simple, quick retrofit
Short payback time
What is included in the retrofit?
The comprehensive retrofit targets high-wear areas of the pump, extending service life through a range of new parts, including:
New mechanical parts
- Inlet valve
- Annular air pipe with nozzles
- Outlet bend
- Vent valve (de-dusting)
- Compressed air valves
- Control valve
- Safety valve
- Pneumatic control cabinet with solenoid valves and pressure switches
New electrical parts
- Electrical local cabinet with PLC including HMI touch screen and CCR interface
- Pressure transmitters
- Level indicators
- Position indicators on all valves
What we offer
Payback
The retrofit takes advantage not just of new and proven design elements, but also advances in automation, using a new control set-up to ensure lower power consumption and correct valve settings for sequential operation. In real life applications, this has delivered power savings of 47%. Meanwhile, feedback from sensors and position indicators combined with touch-screen control makes it easier to identify the root cause of maintenance issues, enabling speedy troubleshooting and simplifying maintenance tasks.
