When you think of Parker IPD, you probably think of valves or tube fittings. And while Parker IPD certainly offers these solutions, they also offer more than meets the eye. But what is out there and how do you know if it’s the right solution for your industry?
In the latest episode of Your Relevant Solution brought to you by Relevant Industrial Solutions, host Gabrielle Bejarano talks with Greg Lewis, Business Development Manager at Parker IPD Sales, about the offerings and solutions that Parker IPD offers as well as insights on the industry.
Bejarano and Lewis discuss…
1)What Parker IPD is and what role it plays within the industry
2)How composite samplings help show the quality and volume of gas flowing through the meters
3)What kind of specialized tools are out there for different industries, including for gas processing and other industries
“So, anywhere you have any kind of instrumentation, we don’t supply the actual instrument, what we supply is the means to convey the fluid system to the instrument themselves,” said Lewis. But it’s not just one solution, “Yeah, you know, most people, when we think of Parker IPD we think of tube fittings and valves, but we get into so much more. We get into some filtration, we get into high-pressure fittings that can go up to 150,000 PSI…and we also get into some of the specialty items for, like analyzer systems at plants for stack monitoring and vent control for the analyzers…”
A graduate of Texas A&M University in Industrial Distribution, Lewis was hired straight from college to work for a tube manufacturer before moving to Precision Fitting (now Relevant Solutions), and then making his way to the Parker PGI Factory in Houston, Texas. In 2019, he rejoined Precision and is now the Business Development Manager for Parker IPD Sales.
When there’s a problem with your equipment, your solution is to either fix the problem or replace the equipment altogether. It can be pretty costly if you’re always replacing your equipment, or even if you have to fix a part of it. Vacuum cleaners can run into different problems, and vacuum boosters make it easier to fix a major problem this piece of equipment can occasionally face.
On this episode of Your Relevant Solution, host Gabrielle Bejarano talks with Joey Limonciello, Product Manager of Blowers and Vacuums at Relevant Solutions, about vacuum boosters and what makes them unique. “They are unique in that you can add them into an existing system and really increase the efficiency and flow,” says Limonciello. “Whereas you don’t have to replace a pump necessarily, you can just add a booster into it.” Additionally, vacuum boosters are compatible with all kinds of pumps, making it an easy solution for many vacuum-related problems.
Main points covered in this episode include:
-
What makes vacuum boosters a great addition to a vacuum system.
-
How vacuum boosters save customers and businesses money.
-
Current trends in vacuum purchasing and the problems that result.
“The main trend right now that I’m seeing is a lot of customers migrating towards dry screw vacuum pumps,” says Limonciello. “And that is for… a lot of it’s for efficiency, because they’re very efficient, so you’re going to have less horsepower draw on it compared to a liquid rim, and also they don’t have to deal with the sealant fluid.” However, Limonciello points out liquids in the gas stream cause problems for dry screws, resulting in expensive repairs and rebuilds. For this reason and others, vacuum boosters are seen as good and cost-effective alternatives for replacing pumps.
