Baltmannsweiler, Germany: Halm, dealing in drive and pump technology, has announced unveiling at the recently held Mostra Convegno Expocomfort (MCE), its first range of large, screw-connected and flange pumps, specially designed for the trade and replacement pump market.

Giving details, the announcement said that the HEP Optimo L+ series, which was launched at MCE, comes in 20 different models, and features an Eco mode that the company claimed, can reduce power consumption by 40%, compared to the proportional pressure control previously used as the most economical solution. It added that the product includes an analogue 0-10 V connection for selective power adjustment, which can also be operated with a start/stop signal.

Also on show for the first time, said Halm, was a range of condensate pumps for the growing market of gas and oil-fired condensing devices, along with small circulation pumps for heating, drinking water, solar and geothermal energy.

“Price and technology need to be extremely persuasive for wholesale and the trade,” said Felix Kröll, Managing Director of Halm, at the launch of the HEP Optimo L+ series. “With a clearly structured range, the wholesale business can ideally serve the replacement pump market without excess inventories but rather, products that pay off.”
