The VECTOR peristaltic pump is designed to handle the high viscosity fluids commonly found in industrial processing. Whether these fluids are pasty, pulpy or just plain thick, the VECTOR peristaltic pump can reliably start, stop and continuously pump such fluids at a wide range of pressures and flows. The pumping action is powerful, but will not break up delicate emulsions or cause excessive frothing of dissolved gases. With no cups, seals or packing to come in direct contact with the pumped fluids, the VECTOR peristaltic pump is ideal for pumping high purity fluids or fluids corrosive enough to require complete isolation from contact with mechanical parts of the fluid transport system.

Harvey White and his father, Hollis, Sr., were manufacturing agricultural implements as White Engineering, Inc. While subcontracting on a piece of equipment, Harvey saw an early installation of a new type of hydraulic gerotor motor. In Harvey’s words, “it almost, but not quite, worked”. He also had some ideas as to how to make a better motor. His brother Hollis, Jr., was a mechanical engineering student at the University of Missouri-Columbia at this time and the two developed and patented their motor. This patent also covered their invention as a power steering device. White Engineering started manufacturing this device and Ross, Inc. of West Lafayette, Indiana, who manufactured mechanical power steering units and wanted to license the White technology, later contacted the firm. Soon the Maryville facility was rented to Ross to manufacture hydraulic motors and power steering units under license from White Engineering. The sign on the building was changed to Ross Division, TRW, when the giant corporation purchased the firm. Eventually, production was moved to West Lafayette, Indiana.By the mid-1970s, the license agreements were expiring and TRW was not interested in the White brothers’ new product ideas. In 1977, Harvey and Hollis, Jr. incorporated White Hydraulics and began manufacturing their motors first in the basement of Hollis’s home, and then in a paint store in West Lafayette. The early team included both brothers’ wives as well as Hollis, Sr. Business grew and in the early 1980s, the firm sought to build a complete manufacturing facility. The combination of location and financing resulted in Hopkinsville, Kentucky.Ground was broken in August 1982 and production began in January 1983.From 1983 to 1993 White Hydraulics went through some major changes to keep up with the hydraulic motor demand from its customers. The production area doubled. The assembly area expanded. And in 1993, White Hydraulics shipped its one-millionth motor and became the first U.S. gerotor motor manufacturer to become ISO-9002 certified.In 1994, White Hydraulics again had to expand to be able to meet the ever-increasing product demand from the hydraulic industry. Then two years later, White Hydraulics shipped it’s two- millionth motor.In October 1995, Harvey White retired and sold his shares of White Hydraulics, Inc. to Hollis White, Jr., making Hollis Jr. the sole owner of the company.Completion of our latest company plant expansion came in 2000, with the addition of more office space as well as a world class testing facility. This state-of-the-art testing facility has allowed us to become deeply involved in helping our customers improve upon their existing production designs, as well as, continually improve our products to exceed customer expectations.White Hydraulics introduces its “Double in Five” program in 2000 with its distribution team worldwide. This program with the help of our loyal distributors will double our production output in 2000 by the year 2005.In 2000, White Hydraulics, Inc. establishes White Hydraulics GmbH in Ratingen, Germany to further perpetuate our global presence.With the ever-increasing industrialization of China, White Hydraulics seizes the opportunity to penetrate the Asian market, and in 2004, White Hydraulics, Inc. establishes another sales office in Hong Kong to service Asia.To further increase sales numbers in the booming Asian market, White Hydraulics, Inc. purchases land in Main Land China, and builds a sales and production facility in the Jiangsu province of China. This facility, now operational, supports the expansion of the company brand by manufacturing selected products for global distribution and providing service and support to manufacturers in the rapidly developing Asian economies.Since the ground breaking in 1982 in Hopkinsville, KY, White Hydraulics has gone from 2 hydraulic gerotor motor series being offered to 10 hydraulic motor series, 2 hydraulic brake series, 6 motor/brake series, flow dividers, and hydraulic pumps. White Hydraulics has also added numerous add-ons and accessories that complement it’s already extensive product lines. White Hydraulics, in the near future will continue to expand it’s product line to include a new range of gerotor motors, gearboxes, and manifolds, to make White Hydraulics a Drive Products manufacturer and supplier.January 1, 2006, White Hydraulics, Inc. changed its corporate name from White Hydraulics, Inc. to White Drive Products, Inc. The new name better reflects the company’s focus on providing a complete range of products tailored for mobile hydraulic drive applications. Products include a full range of low-speed high-torque motors, spring-applied pressure release brakes, brake release hand pumps, and closed-loop hydrostatic drive piston pumps. The company continues leading the industry with innovative products, superior customer service, technical application support, and ma

The small two-family business grew slowly until the development of the garment storage conveyor in 1949. Since then, the companys growth has been both dramatic and consistent. By 1967, Whites product line had evolved to meet the growing needs of customers outside the dry cleaning industry-resulting in managements later decision in 1975 to separate the companys increasingly diverse operations. From the companys original and modest 5,000 square foot facility in Newark, White subsidiaries grew to occupy nearly 42,500 square feet of manufacturing and office space in Kenilworth, New Jersey. To dedicate certain engineering, manufacturing and human resources to garment related applications, White Machine established White Conveyors, Inc. in 1984. Business volume increased, tax laws changed and two of the companys original principals retired. In 1986, the Speckhart family took over the basic automated garment conveyor manufacturing and service portion of the business. In the Fall of 2004, White Conveyors completed expanded facilities that encompass a total of 90,000 square feet. The architects objectives in laying out the space was to create a working environment that would enhance the Companys ability to service customers as well as improve internal communication and general workflow. The facilities were upgraded so that White Systems Specialists could provide customers with real-time customer support even as the functions and complexities of automated systems continue to evolve. We know the cost of downtime and make every effort to assure our customers productivity is maximized.

OIL & GAS INDUSTRY APPLICATIONS The Williams pneumatic metering pumps are utilized in all industries to accurately control the injection of chemicals. The examples below illustrate only some of the typical fluid metering applications: OIL, REFINING & PETROCHEMICAL The metering of chemicals used in all phases of the production, processing, refining, transmission and distribution of oil and gas products. NATURAL GAS, LPG & LNG The metering of corrosion inhibitors for instrument protection, methanol to prevent freezing, and odorant injection for public safety. OFFSHORE INDUSTRY The metering of Oil and Gas corrosion inhibitors, emulsion breakers, oxygen scavengers, methanol injection and many others. EDITORIAL FOR WILLIAMS MILTON ROY Williams Instrument Incorporated was established in 1965 as a supplier of specialized equipment to the USA natural gas distribution industry. Williams revolutionized the natural gas distribution industry by developing a method for the positive injection of mercaptans, chemicals for introducing odor into natural gas. Prior to the use of positive injection, the gas industry used the inaccurate bypass method of odorizing natural gas. The Williams design approach introduced precision and increased safety in an industry that requires a very high level of safety because the public is the customer. Our positive injection device for the injection of mercaptans was a metering pump that for safety reasons would use gas or pneumatics for power. We quickly recognized the benefits of using a pneumatic pump for chemical injection in hazardous or explosion-proof environments. As a result, we developed a complete line of gas or pneumatically driven pumps for both the oil & gas production and the oil & gas refining and processing industries. In addition to the inherent explosion-proof feature pneumatics provides, it also enabled us to simplify the design. It is this feature that has helped our pneumatically driven pumps expand their applicability and become accepted in the general Chemical Process Industry. Our corporate goal is to become the premier company for fluid metering in the world. We are continuing to replace old products with up-to-date technology, and to expand our product offering to include the use of automation and self-diagnosis. Williams, now a part of the Milton Roy family of companies, is currently the leading supplier of pneumatically-driven metering pumps for the global oil & gas industry. Our metering pumps and related products have become a standard with most of the worlds oil & gas companies. Our products are sold in approximately 40 countries. Williams unique designs offer a combination of reliability and simplicity. Both of these features translate into cost savings for our customers.
