Hi! I'm Rich with New Life Scientific. Today I'm out in our warehouse and we have set up this microfluidics unit out here because of the power it needed and we didn't have it available in our tech shop. So we've been working on this and getting it all back up. Not a whole lot of issues with it. It had very low hours on it but we'd like to shoot these demo video of it running so you can actually see it in action but this is actually a M7250 which means it has the two cylinders in it. And then it's actually the 20,00 PSI unit.
We're going to start it up and run it and I just left some of the panels off for the video to kind of just see how nice of condition on the inside of it. We do have the pneumatic pump hooked up right now. We've got pressure coming in that's required the pre-pressure to feed the actual high pressure pumps here. So that's running right now. And all we need to do is turn on the motor and then we're going to activate the actual pumps on it. We're going to start the motor. It gets a little noisier.
You can see our two cylinders here and we're going to actually activate those now and that'll fire those up. They just work simultaneously so that we can keep a very consistent pressure moving and a consistent flow rather than having one cylinder. So while one cylinder is actually pushing fluid, the other one gets ready to take over and push fluid while the other one's retracting so you have a real nice consistent flow. And up here on the pressure gauge you can see how consistent the pressure stays on the pressure gauge because on a normal machine where it only has one cylinder on all their other models, you get major pressure drop while the cylinder's actually retracting. So that's the advantage is that it have essentially double the flow. Not quite double but a lot more flow,
a lot more capacity.
Right now we actually have some smaller interaction chambers. These are I believe 100 Micron V chambers with auxiliaries on it. Ideally, putting the seven chamber units on would give you a lot more flow but just for testing it right now the unit, we just put those on it. But anyways, you can see it works good. It has all the plumbing in place. Just hook up the machine to your to your fluids and pump them in. Run it through the strainer and of course bring in some chilling fluids to cool the hydraulic system. And the quench fluids here that would run through here would need to be hooked up. We're just doing a short run right now just for demonstrating this machine. We don't want to run it too long because we actually don't have the chiller hooked up and it builds up heat in the hydraulic fluids pretty quick. So just some short runs without the chillers.
But as you can see it runs great. We're getting ready to break it down and move it over to our actual photo area to get more photos of this.
That's about it for the operational of this machine and if you got any questions here on this machine or other ones like this. We do have other models. We have a $30k machine available right now too - single cylinder. Give us a call here at New Life Scientific. Thank you!
