Metal processing facilities rely heavily on a variety of industrial pumps to ensure efficient and effective operation. Understanding the different types of pumps available and their unique applications is crucial for any metal processing facility.
One of the most commonly used types of pumps in metal processing facilities is the centrifugal pump. These pumps use a rotating impeller to increase the velocity of a liquid, which in turn increases the pressure and flow rate of the fluid. They are ideal for applications that require high flow rates and low to medium pressure, such as pumping water or other fluids in a cooling system.
Positive displacement pumps are another popular option for metal processing facilities. These pumps work by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and then forcing it through the system. They are ideal for applications that require high pressure and low to medium flow rates, such as pumping viscous materials like grease or oil.
Diaphragm pumps are a type of positive displacement pump that use a flexible diaphragm to move fluid through the system. They are ideal for applications that require high pressure and low flow rates, such as pumping corrosive or abrasive materials.
Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps are designed to be submerged in the fluid they are pumping. They are ideal for applications that require high flow rates and low to medium pressure, such as pumping water out of a sump or a tank.
