LEWA ecoflow.
The advantages at a glance.

Reliable components are one of the keys to safe processes. LEWA ecoflow pumps are based on the robust technology that LEWA is renowned
for. As a result, they are also easily able to fulfill the strict safety requirements of API 675 (American Petroleum Institute). The pumps use key
components from LEWA’s proven range – like the PTFE sandwich diaphragm with diaphragm monitoring, the patented DPS diaphragm protec-
tion system and flow efficient check valves.

LEWA ecoflow metering pumps can be used to solve a wide

the possible combinations of drives and pump heads. LDB LDC LDD LDE LDF LDG LDZ LDH

Seven drive sizes for a wide performance range (see pages 20 / 21)
The multiple arrangement of identical and different drives – in segment
or boxer design – is also possible without problems. This permits volume
flows to be handled in a variable manner and different material flows
can be conveyed or metered at certain ratios (recipe metering). Even
the widest variety of materials and surfaces (such as hygienic require-
ments) can be selected to match the fluid conveyed. For extreme fluid
and environmental conditions (such as temperatures), special designs
are also available.

And LEWA is always extending the portfolio with new developments

and refinements.
