Industrial Pumps
There are many types of industrial pumps offered for a variety of applications. Each type of industrial pump comes with
advantages not offered by other pumps. As experts in industrial pumps and rotating equipment since 1946, we wanted to
provide a quick easy-to-digest way of understanding what advantages each industrial pump possesses.
1. Centrifugal Pumps
The best choice for lower viscosity liquids and high flow rates.
Incorporates dimensional standardization, which allows for the piping, foundation, and design to be completed before
pump suppliers are even selected. Also features more material options than other types.
Meets all API 610 requirements which assures safety & reliability for high pressure, high temperature hydrocarbon
applications.
The best choice for achieving a very high flow rate with very low head.
5. Booster Pumps
Allows for the build up of additional pressure required to move liquid over long distances.
6. Piston Pumps
Sometimes referred to as “the pump of last resort” because it is able to handle difficult liquids that other pumps are
unable to accommodate.
8. Screw Pumps
These pumps feature the highest flow rate of positive displacement pumps.
9. Gear Pumps
The best choice for clean oil applications with few moving parts & simple construction.
The best choice for sanitary applications that pump viscous liquids or liquids that contain fragile solids, featuring no metal-
to-metal contact within the pump.
One of the most versatile choices handling a wide range of liquids that are sealless and can run dry without damage to the
pump.
The best choice for areas prone to flooding. Also these pumps eliminate column shaft and bearings found in column sump
pumps.
Currently the best way to get high pressure with a centrifugal pump with lower thrust loads.
17. Magnetic Drive Pumps
One of the least likely pumps to cavitate that features much higher flow rates than end suction pumps.
