?What is Industrial Pump

If your business depends on pumping products - particularly liquids - then you may find that you need an industrial pump.

 

What is Industrial pump?

 

So what is an industrial pump? In a nutshell, an industrial pump is a piece of equipment within industry designed for pumping mainly liquids (but also some solids and gases) from one place to another. They often work through some kind of suction or propeller method. A good industrial pump will make shifting water, petroleum, slurry, oil and even food easier and faster.

 

Many industrial pumps these days are plastic, but some pumps are made from carbon steel or cast iron. The material and the scale of the industrial pump will vastly depend on what it is being used for.

 

What are the different types of Industrial Pumps used by Businesses?

 

There are many different types of pumps available in industry. They can pump liquid through a variety of different methods. There are three main basic types of industrial pump: centrifugal, positive-displacement and axial-flow pumps.

 

Centrifugal Pumps

 

Centrifugal pumps use one or several rotating impellers to create suction. Centrifugal pumps are very common as they are cheap and efficient to make. You can get both vertical and horizontal centrifugal pumps depending on your business needs.

 

Positive Displacement Pumps

 

Positive displacement pumps work by ‘displacing’ the fluid - it makes it move by trapping a fixed amount of air forcing the product into the discharge pipe. Displacement pumps are good because they provide a constant flow at a fixed speed.

 

Axial-flow Pumps

 

An axial-flow pump (or AFP) is an industrial pump that basically consists of a propeller (called an axial impeller) in a pipe. The pressure in an AFP is created by the flow of liquid over the propeller blades.

 

What Businesses use Industrial Pumps?

 

So many businesses use industrial pumps in this day and age. For example, utility companies use industrial pumps to pump clean water and waste water. Fuel companies use industrial pumps to pump oil and petrol. Pumps can also be used in pulp and paper manufacturing and also the food manufacturing process.

 

What are the best manufacturers of Industrial Pumps?

 

The largest manufacturer of Industrial pumps is a company called Grundfos, based in Denmark. They produce over 16 million pump units every year! Other popular industrial pump companies include Sulzer, Myers, Herborner and the Wier Group.
