ers are positive displacement technologies that have the ability to consistently move the same volume of gas or air and vary the volume flow according to the speed of the machine itself enabling it to adapt the flow condition in a flexible manner despite pressure in the system. Turbo blowers and side channel and radial blowers are dynamic technologies that have the ability to accelerate gas or air through an impeller and transform their kinetic energy at the discharge with some limitation on flexibility.

Precision and Science Technologies

The Precision and Science Technologies segment designs, manufactures and markets a broad range of niche fluidics and powder handling solutions for the life sciences, food and beverage, water and wastewater, general manufacturing, chemical processing, clean energy, aerospace, and other end markets. Key technologies include positive displacement pumps, automated liquid handling systems, and single-use powder and liquid handling and containment systems.

Positive Displacement (PD) Pumps

Positive displacement pumps are essential to highly specialized flow applications across many industries. We are a market leader in positive displacement pumps, covering the main technology types including diaphragm, vane, piston, progressive cavity, peristaltic and gear. In the life sciences end-market, our gas and liquid pumps are used for a wide range of applications, such as aspirators, blood analyzers, compression therapy, dialysis machines, gas monitors, ventilators, and scientific instrumentation within in vitro diagnostics and R&D laboratories. In the water and environmental end-market, our pumps and related equipment are used for water treatment in municipal and industrial facilities such as in dosing and sludge transfer. In agriculture, our pumps are used for nutrient and medicine dosing to livestock, plants and medicinals. Finally in the general industrial end-market, our pumps and accessories serve a broad range of niche applications such as in the handling of abrasive or chemically active fluids.

Controls and Software

Equipment controls and software are of increasing importance in our flow control applications for both the optimization of current systems as well as to enable the Industrial Internet of Things (“IIoT”) evolution. In the agriculture market, we sell controllers and software that monitor and control the main functions within livestock and greenhouse facility operations with the benefit of reducing cost and improving yield. In natural gas pipelines and distribution, we sell monitoring devices connected to cloud-based software for real time monitoring of odor injection pumping systems, which enhances safety and reduces costs. Similarly, on our positive displacement progressive cavity sludge pumps, we sell monitoring devices and cloud-based software for real-time pump health and performance monitoring, which prevents costly downtime in water
