“If you’ve been around the market for some time, you know that Ace produced roller pumps in the past. These products were discontinued approximately 20 years ago to focus on our core centrifugal pump market. We have now returned to the market based on our customers’ needs and requests for a reliable source of durable, dependable, and American-made roller pumps.”

noted Ace Pump CEO, Andy Randle.

According to Randle, these new products represent a total reboot of the product line and a large investment by Ace and its parent company, Annovi Reverberi Group.  The product range was retooled from the ground up utilizing all-new casting tools, machining centers, and manufacturing processes.  In addition, Ace has also partnered with several new U.S.-based component suppliers to assure consistent quality and timely delivery of these new products.

The new Ace roller pumps include the following features:

• Economical cast iron construction
• Durable thermoplastic rollers
• Compact direct mounting on tractor PTO
• Availability in bulk packs for equipment manufacturers, providing greater process efficiency with less waste
• A multi-speed quick coupler that fits 6-spline (540 rpm) and 21-spline (1000 rpm) shafts
• Optional torque bar kit to prevent pump rotation during operation
• Universal repair kits that fit Ace and competitive models (6500 & 7560)

The following cast iron pump models are now available from Ace:

“The design of our new PM series of meters keeps a certain type of customer in mind. From specially crafted leak-resistant valves and seals to a stout guard that protects electronics from impact, both the PM8 and PM20 dispense meters are built for the roughest users in environmental conditions that would impact any other product. Tested for tens of thousands of dispenses, PM series meters are a class above and the only ultra-rugged preset meter on the market today,”

said Shane Norman, Product Marketing Manager for Graco’s Lubrication Equipment Division. 

From quick lane service to mobile lube trucks, those with their hands on a PM series preset meter are clamoring to share their experiences.

“I am super happy with the feel of the meter. I noticed a flow improvement over my old meters. … I am excited about this meter,”

said a lube truck operator after a field test with a PM series model. 

With preset functions engineered to deliver fast and precise performance, PM series electronic dispense meters are capable of high flow rates of up to 20 GPM (75.7 lpm). Alongside an easy-to-use four-button design with default preset and custom preset dispensing, the PM series of meters boasts an ergonomic four-finger trigger for the comfort of use with a long battery life through the use of four easily replaceable AA batteries.

New and innovative DuraMax diaphragms are “pre-deformed” and provide longer life and better performance with a wide range of chemicals. The plastic polymer provides great strength and long-lasting reliability.

The diaphragm washer is made of stainless steel to prevent abnormal deformation of the diaphragm and guides it along the piston stroke. The piston crown has a friction-proof form to eliminate wear caused by rubbing.

Here is the features of DP-282:

• The heads are designed with a patented technology that includes an aluminum die-cast core inside a polypropylene structure offering superior strength.
• Washers and diaphragm bolts are in 316 stainless steel, an exclusive feature.
• Die-cast crankcase incorporating a new cooling system.
• New chemically resistant diaphragm material pre-deformed to reduce the amount of deflection, increasing diaphragm life. The diaphragm material is compatible with most of the corrosive chemicals on the market today.
• A short crankshaft stroke means the longest life possible.
• New connecting rods in special bronze alloy offer economical and trouble-free service.
• 316 stainless steel inlet and outlet check valves
