Commercial Pumps from Pumping Solutions
Each pump is designed for specific purposes and applications. Read below for more information about individual pump styles.Air-Operated Double Diaphragm (AODD) Pumps
AODD pumps are leading industrial pumps known for their pumping versatility and ability to maintain high-performance standards in harsh or demanding environments. They use compressed air to repeat a constant pumping motion and force liquids through the chambers. They can process both thin and viscous fluids and are safe for use with hazardous materials. AODD pumps are commonly used for industrial applications including the processing of gels, creams, paints, oils, food, slurries, acids, and more.Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal pumps are highly efficient pumps designed for handling large volumes of high-viscosity fluids. They rely on rotational kinetic energy to draw fluids into the pump and force them through an outlet. These pumps must be primed before usage as they process various fluids through rotation instead of suction. Centrifugal pumps offer high flow rates for large quantities of low-viscosity fluids and are used for wine making and municipal water treatment applications.Sealless Magnetic Pumps
Sealless magnetic pumps are used for dry-run processing and offer unique operational benefits. The sealless design requires less maintenance and offers enhanced flow security by eliminating the risk of leaks. These pumps use coupled magnets to determine torque for transferring. Sealless magnetic pumps are ideal for processing hazardous chemicals due to their leak-free design. Frequent uses for these pumps include toxic liquids, corrosive fluids, high-temperature chemicals, and more.Sanitary & Hygienic Pumps
Sanitary and hygienic pumps are the cleanest systems for processing transfer solutions. They are desired for their hygienic design and ability to prevent microbial contamination. Created from 316L stainless steel and nickel-plated aluminum, sanitary pumps are FDA-compliant to ensure total cleanliness and provide exceptional versatility and superior safety throughout processing. Hygienic pumps are commonly used for clean processing applications in medical, food, or cosmetic industries.Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps are designed to be fully submerged in the fluid they process and are used to drain the liquid from the area. Commonly used for processing standing water, submersible pumps are used across numerous industries for quick and reliable processing. These pumps are compact and portable, allowing easy mobility and fluid pumping for numerous applications. Submersible pumps efficiently pump large volumes of water and are ideal for sump pits, drainage pits, overflow tanks, construction drainage, and cooling towers.Self-Priming Pumps
Self-priming pumps offer operational efficiency by featuring self-priming abilities of up to 6”, with self-cleaning semi-open impellers for optimal processing. These pumps are designed to last and are created from materials including bronze, stainless steel, or high-strength polypropylene. Self-priming pumps are constructed for model-specific use and are utilized across many industries for specific applications. General uses include transferring dirty water, limited solids, chemical processing, wastewater treatment, and more.Drum Pumps
Drum pumps are designed for specific applications involving transferring fluids from an enclosed drum container to an external location. These pumps are available in piston, rotary, and electric styles, which vary in process but perform the same function. Drum pumps are suitable for transferring thin, neutral, corrosive, or highly flammable liquids out of barrels and similar drum containers.Peristaltic Hose Pumps
Peristaltic hose pumps, or roller pumps, use pressing shoes and a rotating wheel to transfer fluids for numerous applications. A vacuum is created to draw liquids into the hose, and the pump forces the liquids through without risk of backflow. These pumps are used for metering or transferring caustic, abrasive, or shear-sensitive materials. Peristaltic hose pumps are found in chemical processing, wastewater, and food and beverage industries for cleanliness and precision pumping applications.Gear Pumps
Gear pumps are positive displacement pumps that feature expanding and contracting chambers to pump fluids steadily and consistently. Their name is derived from the internal gears that help with fluid processing. These compact pumps offer benefits including high-pressure outputs, accurate dosing, and easy maintenance. Gear pumps are frequently used for applications including petrochemicals, food, chemicals, paint, ink, and more.Metering Pumps
Metering pumps are positive displacement pumps that use pistons to facilitate the flow of fluids through internal chambers. The push and pull motions of the displacement system generate highly accurate and effective fluid processing in specified time frames. Metering pumps process a wide range of fluid types, including chemicals, acids, bases, corrosives, and highly viscous liquids for various applications across all trades.Lobe Pumps
Lobe pumps are rotary pumps with large pumping chambers explicitly designed for handling solids such as cherry pits or olives and thick liquids such as pastes and slurries. These pumps maintain a constant flow output with minimal product degradation. Additional benefits include optional reversible flow and dry operation. Lobe pumps are used in industries including biotechnology, chemicals, food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and more.Industrial Mixers
Industrial mixers are used to mix fluid containers and tanks for pumping processes. Mixing applications include blending liquids, dissolving or suspending fluids, dispersing immiscible liquids, and circulating trapped gases in fluids. These mixers are compatible with fluid tanks of various sizes and can be clamp- or base-mounted for easy installation and usage. Industrial mixers are ideal for efficiently mixing numerous fluids and will provide reliable, steady performances.Turbine Pumps
Turbine pumps use spinning impellers to move fluids through compact, close-coupled chambers. The turbine-like impellers include rows of small vanes to facilitate the flow of liquids. These pumps are self-priming and feature a ceramic mechanical shaft, allowing for processing in high-temperature applications. Turbine pumps are commonly used for pumping clear water and other non-abrasive, low-viscosity fluids.Pump Accessories
