Questions on Our Types of Pumps Available
What is a flange kit?
We have flange kits in a range of sizes, materials, and elastomers, making it easy to find the right one for your unique requirements. Each flange kit includes two identical flanges, two identical gaskets, eight bolts, eight nuts, and 16 washers.
How does a rotary lobe pump work?
Rotary lobe pumps are non-contacting and have large pumping chambers, allowing them to handle solids such as cherries or olives without damage. Rotary lobe pumps also offer reversible flows and can operate dry for extended periods of time.
What is the advantage of internal gear pump?
Internal gear pumps are designed similar to external gear pumps, but internal gear pumps utilize gears of different sizes, with one rotating inside the other. Internal gear pumps have better suction and are suited for high-viscosity fluids in metering and blending applications.
How do self priming pumps work?
Self-priming pumps are designed for dirty water, limited solids, and clear liquid applications. Every self-priming pump we offer is built to last with bronze, stainless steel, or high strength polypropylene housings and Viton, Teflon, or Kynar elastomer seals. Three port sizes are available —1”, 1.25”, 1.50”— to meet your flow requirements.
What are the most compact eodd pump models available?
Pumping Solutions offers Graco Diaphragm Pumps like the QUANTM EODD, the world’s first (and only) affordable electric-operated double diaphragm (EODD) pump built to minimize energy consumption by cutting energy usage and costs by up to 80%. For AODD options, the Husky double diaphragm pumps are manufactured with your productivity in mind – providing you with one of the most reliable and efficient pumps in the market. Graco's ChemSafe pumps feature PTFE or UHMWPE (ultra high molecular weight polyethylene) corrosion-resistant fluid paths, which make them ideal for corrosive and abrasive chemicals.
What is a gear pump used for?
Gear pumps can pump paint, ink, resins, adhesives, chemicals, solvents, food products and more at high pressures while still maintaining precise output. Because gear pumps have very few moving components, they are ideal for applications requiring high-volume pumping with little maintenance requirements.
How to choose internal gear pump for high viscosity fluids?
These pumps each have a unique design and structure that impacts performance, pressure, flow rate and cost performance, all of which should be considered prior to selecting your pump design. External gear pumps utilize two interlocking gears of the same size supported by separate shafts.
External gear pumps are capable of sustaining higher pressures and flow rates, and can be used in hydraulic power applications. Internal gear pumps are designed similar to external gear pumps, but internal gear pumps utilize gears of different sizes, with one rotating inside the other. Internal gear pumps have better suction and are suited for high-viscosity fluids in metering and blending applications.
Which metering pumps offer integrated flow monitoring?
LMI electronic and motor-driven pumps are available for flow proportional applications and optional liquid handling configurations to handle slurries and high viscosity chemicals.
What are double diaphragm pumps used for?
AODD pumps are self-priming and typically used in low-pressure fluid transfer applications across various industries. They are compatible with dirty, contaminated, and viscous fluids and used for applications including:
- Acid-transfer metering
- Food processing
- Gels, creams, paints, and oils
- Slurries and sludges
- Volatile solvents and more
Which submersible pump is best?
Our select series of Goulds and Gorman Rupp pumps are designed for the streamlined pumping of water and flooding out of enclosed spaces to prevent further damage to industrial and commercial areas. Keep reading for additional features of Goulds submersible pumps, utility pumps, and submersible pumps with float switches.
What features should i look for in a rotary lobe pump for syrup?
Lobe pumps are frequently used in food applications because they handle solids without damaging the product. Particle sizes can be much larger in lobe pumps than in other PD types. `
What is a gear pump and how is it used in industrial applications?
Gear pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that utilize interlocking cogs and gears to mechanically moves fluids in smooth, repeatable volumes. Gear pumps can efficiently pump high viscosity fluids and oils, as the rotating gears generate high enough pressure and suction to consistently transfer liquids at steady flow rates.
What materials are best for sanitary pump components?
Manufactured from 316L stainless steel and nickel-plated aluminum, these Wilden pumps are made with food-grade Saniflex™ elastomers and are FDA-compliant. Constructed from 304 stainless steel and featuring stainless steel bearing retainers, these high-quality pumps can handle a spectrum of fluids, expanding their capabilities across numerous industries. With easy maintenance and reliable processing, hygienic pumps from Ampco Pumps are a desirable choice for use in multiple sanitary applications.
What are submersible pumps used for?
A submersible pump is designed to be fully immersed or “submerged” in the fluid it processes. Ideal for draining standing water, these pumps can be used in a diverse array of areas and applications, making them highly versatile and excellent solutions for nearly any industry.
What seal type is best for centrifugal pumps?
Seal faces are available in carbon, ceramic, and silicon carbide based on application. Each centrifugal pump utilizes a close-coupled, space-saving design for easy installation and high-efficiency performance. While each Xylem Goulds centrifugal pump is equipped with unique features based on project demands, general user benefits of the pumps include end suction top discharge, standard case drain, and easy maintenance.
Which pump parts to replace?
Updating your industrial pump with parts maintenance will help extend its lifespan and enhance its functionality. Pump replacement parts can update your pump and ensure it functions at maximum capacity throughout usage.
