This was incomprehensible, since the IDS line has always been the benchmark of excellence among sprayer pumps. Thus, we engaged our sales force in an accurate analysis on the field: from **fruit crops** in eastern Turkey to **olive groves in Andalusia**.  The aim was to understand how to use the diaphragm pumps and sprayers on which they were fitted, and what problems the operators and repair mechanics had to face. ### Two important pieces of evidence emerged from this survey: The first was the **need to couple two pumps** to have a **double flow rate**. The easiest solution for coupling two pumps would have been to use an elastic interposition joint that could compensate for misalignment, a solution, however, too expensive for some markets.  We therefore opted for a female-female iron sleeve, obtaining the same result with a cheaper cost. We also noted **the increase in the size of air turbines** (which we also mentioned in this article: [TRENDS: THE TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT OF SPRAYERS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN BASIN ](https://blog.comet-spa.com/diaphragm-pumps/the-technological-development-of-sprayers-in-the-mediterranean-basin) These large turbines needed, of course, much **more power,** causing the supplying pump to withstand greater and unexpected **radial thrusts**. The information obtained thanks to this survey on the field was implemented in the company's CRM and shared with the R&D department.  After having assessed the size of the market, evaluated the improvements and defined a target-price that was acceptable to the market, we decided to create a **[new elite IDS series](https://www.comet-spa.com/it/agricoltural/highlight-ids-series/),** precisely the **IDS HD series,** (Heavy-Duty). ![ips_hd](https://blog.comet-spa.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog_POMPE_PUMPS/ips_hd.jpg?width=300&name=ips_hd.jpg) 1. BEARINGS 2. PISTONS 3. SHAFT 4. SUPPORT BRACKETS ***A - UNPARALLELED LIFE*** *Oversized moving parts meet the most stringent requirements for power transmission, torque, axial thrust and misalignment, making the IDS series a substantially indestructible unit.* ** *B - EASY MAINTENANCE *** *Thanks to the external manifolds, the valves can be immediately accessed by the operator, allowing quick and easy service operations.* ***C - EXTREME STURDINESS ** All components in contact with fluids are made of brass, for the maximum resistance to abrasion and chemical compatibility.* In the new line, to compensate for even the heaviest misalignment between the two pumps working in pairs, we replaced the normal bearings with **eight ball bearings made in Germany** by the well-known FAG brand.  The **support feet**, which had been found to be the weakest part for this type of application, were implemented making them **extremely strong (10 mm thick)** to easily withstand the power transmission of oversized turbines. Putting the **knowledge of the market** and **our customers’ needs at the forefront** is what made us world leaders in this sector for many years now. This vision will continue to support us on a constant path towards excellence.
