“Armstrong Industrial gives us clear market sector focus that streamlines how we make our fluid-flow solutions available to customers,” said Keenan in a press release. “Customers gain the benefit of our decades of innovation, including built-in intelligence on many of our products, as we apply our technologies in existing and evolving industrial sectors through our customer-centric approach.”

Michael Cline has been appointed general manager of Armstrong Industrial, which is organized into two teams that focus, respectively, on fluid and gas, to better serve these distinct industrial needs. While the fluid unit will cater to applications such as metals foundries, non-metals manufacturing, glass production, pulp and paper, food processing, and mining, the gas unit will focus on the oil and gas sector, as well as energy and utilities.

“Armstrong Industrial is all about sustainable efficiencies — using demand-based control and digitalized optimization to deliver superior performance and value,” said Cline. “Our high-pressure pumping solutions — combined with a range of specialized services and intelligent control systems — will transform customers’ operational efficiency and transparency. We offer solutions that save on energy costs and drive down carbon emissions, even conserving water use in some applications.”

He highlighted the company’s value offering in fluid and gas pumping solutions that help customers reduce costs and optimize their operations. 

“This saves money and the planet, as less energy means fewer carbon emissions,” said Cline. “Our closed-loop systems, intelligent controls, and digital tools directly support customers as they work to meet their sustainability objectives.” Customers also benefit from Armstrong’s parallel sensorless pump control (PSPC), a patented technology that improves the efficiency of a multi-pump installation through optimized load sharing, the press release said. While the traditional approach involves staging pumps on the basis of motor speed, PSPC technology stages pumps based on operating efficiency rather than motor speed. This improves the efficiency of the full pump array by up to 30%, the press release said.

The company operates across four regions: Asia Pacific; the United Kingdom, Europe, Middle East and Africa; North America; and India.
