Positive Displacement Pump
INTRODUCED by Plenty and Son Ltd. is a new positive I displacement pump of standardized compact design. It is especially for use in industries handling oils in quantity, for drumming installations, or for incorporation into mobile dispensers and road vehicles. This Plenpak pump will be available initially in two sizes to suit pipe bores of 2 and 3 in. Capacities of these units are between 20 and 72 gal. per minute at a pressure of 100 lb. per square inch. Output varies with motor power, speed and the viscosity of the fluid being handled. There will be six alternatives available to meet most requirements.
Features of the new unit are its compact dimensions and aeration-free pumping action, eliminating foaming problems at present associated with barrel filling operations and at tank loading points. It has a built-in full-flow relief valve and is electrically driven through a positive drive toothed belt. The pump can be used in standard form for viscosities from 20 to 3,000 seconds Redwood No. 1. Alternatively, the base pump can be supplied suitable for chain drive or from a power takeoff via a flexible coupling. Pumps areoalso available to special order for viscosities up to 12,000 seconds Redwood No. I, or for abnormally high operating temperatures. The Plenpak is of simple; robust construction and is claimed to be almost maintenance free. It may be incorporated into existing pipework without undue disturbance and does not require any special foundations or lining-up. Made by: Plenty and Son Ltd., Eagle Iron Works, Newbury, Berks.

Rust-inhibiting Paper ANEW type of non-contact, rust-preventing packaging paper has been introduced by Leonard Stace Ltd. This paper, unlike most existing rust-inhibiting papers, is not' surface coated, but impregnated with a specially formulated quickacting chemical. Because it is impregnated, both sides of this Stace V.C.I. paper are equally effective and will not damage critically machined surfaces by contact abrasion or by depositing loose powder particles. The makers state that it will not adhere to the packaged article when wet and that the preparation cannot be rubbed off.
This new paper prevents rust cm ferrous metals by giving off a rust-inhibiting vapour which is claimed to be effective up to a distance of at least one foot. It is suitable for a wide variety of applications where manufactured_ or part-finished components are packed before storage or dispatch. Pre-coating is unnecessary as immediate protection is given to the packaged article. The paper is non-toxic and has no objectionable odour. Made by: Leonard Stace Ltd., Cheltenham, Glos.
