Micropumps at the Cutting Edge of a Specialist Glass Manufacturing Process

Today’s building design and architectural trends demand constant innovation in materials manufacture, especially for prestigious or high profile commercial projects. As a consequence of this manufacturers are required to continually develop materials which meet the challenges of cutting-edge design and energy efficiency. A good example of this is the demand for specialist glass panels for cladding the outside of buildings to maximise light and heat, such as those manufactured by Huddersfield based Specialist Glass Products (SGP). Pumping specialists MICHAEL SMITH ENGINEERS has recently supplied a Micropump and inverter system to SGP which has successfully met the complex demands of a specialised application that had proved to be too challenging for a traditional mechanically sealed pump.
