Peristaltic Pumps

Peristaltic Pumps use rotating shoes pressed against special flexible tubing or hose to move the fluid through it. The tube is compressed at a number of points in contact with the rollers or shoes. The media is moved through the tube with each rotating motion. The individual components of peristaltic pumps include a pump head, [...]

Piston Pumps

Piston or Plunger Pumps are reciprocating pumps that use a plunger or piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber. The plunger or piston is actuated by a steam powered, pneumatic, hydraulic, or electric drive. Piston pumps and plunger pumps are also called well service or high viscosity pumps.Piston pumps and plunger pumps use a [...]

Plastic Pumps

Plastic Pumps are designed to move fluids that would corrode or damage other types of pumps. They provide broad chemical resistance and are less costly and lighter in weight than metal pumps. Disadvantages of plastic pumps include limited pressure ratings, reduced impact resistance, and narrower temperature ranges. Some plastic pumps are designed to move abrasive [...]

PCP or Progressing Cavity Pumps

PCP or Progressing Cavity Pumps are a type of rotary positive displacement pump designed to transfer fluid or media with suspended solids or slurries from the suction side of the pump to the discharge side of the pump from storage tanks or through pipelines. Advantages of progressing cavity pumps include moving viscous media at lower [...]

Booster Pumps

Booster Pumps are used in applications where the normal system pressure is low and needs to be increased. Priming introduces fluid into the pumping chamber to create the pressure differential needed for pumping at a rated service. Self-priming pumps create and maintain a sufficient vacuum level to draw fluid into an inlet with no external [...]

Sump Pumps

Sump Pumps are used in applications where excess water must be pumped away from a particular area. They generally sit in a basin or sump that collects this excess water, hence the name basin sump pump, or simply sump pump. While most people are familiar with sump pumps due to their high level of residential [...]

Syringe Pumps

Syringe Pumps are used to deliver precise amounts of fluid at specific time intervals. There are two main types of products: infusion pumps and withdrawal pumps. Infusion pumps are used to administer relatively small amounts of fluids at high, but controlled pressures. Withdrawal pumps are used to remove fluid samples automatically, typically in medical or [...]

Bladder Pumps

Bladder Pumps consist of a flexible, squeezable bladder encased in a rigid outer casing. They are low-flow pneumatic devices used for sampling applications. Bladder pumps are available in a range of sizes, materials, and capabilities. This includes including models for deep wells, narrow or obstructed casings, and small-volume pumps for low-yield wells. When low-flow pumping [...]

Notes for Working with Pumps

* Read the Installation, Operation and Maintenance Manual for your pump before installing, operating or performing maintenance on the pump or its related equipment. * Operate pump with all guards and shields in place. * Cautiously approach any pump that has been in operation. * Pump only liquids for which the pump was designed. * [...]

Cautions When Working with Electric Pumps

Electric Motor Driven Pumps * Electric shock may occur whenever electricity is present. * Allow only qualified personnel to install, wire and operate pumps and motors. * Always ground electrical units (Earthing). * Be sure to connect motor to correct phase and voltage. * Do not operate pump if voltage is not within limits. * [...]
