Rotary pumps

Rotary pumps Rotary pumps are a type of positive displacement pump where for each revolution, a fixed volume of fluid is moved. These pumps are self-priming and provide near constant delivered capacity no matter the pressure. These pumps are designed with very small clearances between its rotating and stationary parts in order to minimise leakage […]

Transfer pumps

Transfer pumps Transfer pumps are used to move any kind of liquid from one place to another. They are commonly used in applications such as processing, water purification, desalination and liquid handling, with some designed to be used for heat transfer, fluid flow, or transporting a heat transfer fluid or coolant. There are many types

Slurry pumps

Slurry pumps Slurry pumps are a type of centrifugal or positive displacement pump that is electrically or hydraulically driven, and designed specifically for pumping media that contains solid particles, as well as solvents, acids, alcohol or petroleum. Due to the harsh media these pumps move, they are more robust than other pumps in order to

Pressure pumps

Pressure pumps Pressure pumps are designed to enhance the pressure and flow of water to allow larger volumes to flow through a water system when the water supply pressure is inadequate for the application.  These pumps use a piston or plunger, located inside a cylinder, to apply force on the water, fluid or liquid that

Rotodynamic pumps

Rotodynamic pumps Rotodynamic pumps are one of the two major categories that most pumps fit into. These types of pumps are kinetic machines where energy is transferred to the pumped fluid via a rotating element, such as an impeller, propeller or rotor. The mechanical energy is transferred to the fluid primarily by increasing fluid kinetic
