The special gear pump Continuum^®, produced by SETTIMA FLOW MECHANISM, at the last Hannover Messe, has reached the ambitious result to be nominated in the best TOP 20 technology innovations products for year 2011 Hermes Award.

The Hermes Award is a major award aimed at the best technological innovations that the participating companies have exhibited at the fair, from Energy sector to Wind Energy, Automation and Motion & Drive.

Our Continuum^® pump was the only pump to enter the top 20 products due to the high level of revolutionary technology that stands behind the pump.

The team of Hermes Award chose Continuum^® pump because capable to eliminate one of the biggest problem of all gear pumps on the market: the noise. The special design of the internal helical rotors of the Continuum^® pump do not trap any fluid avoiding any cavitations and so any pulsation. This drive to a pump with very low level of noise 52db (A) and no vibration transmitted to the system. Great success for Settima FM that arrives after long research and tests and makes Continuum^® one of the most wanted pump in replacement of gear and vane pumps.
