If you're in the forest products industry, you know that having the right equipment is crucial to your success. One piece of equipment that plays a vital role in many aspects of the industry is the industrial pump. But with so many different types of pumps on the market, it can be challenging to determine which one is the best fit for your specific application. In this blog, we'll take a closer look at some of the different types of industrial pumps used in the forest products industry, along with their applications.
-
Centrifugal Pumps - Centrifugal pumps are some of the most commonly used pumps in the forest products industry. They work by converting the kinetic energy of a motor into the pressure of a fluid, making them ideal for applications such as water treatment, chemical processing, and paper production.
-
Diaphragm Pumps - Diaphragm pumps are another type of pump that is frequently used in the forest products industry. These pumps use a flexible diaphragm to create a vacuum, which pulls the fluid through the pump. Diaphragm pumps are often used for applications such as pumping viscous fluids, transferring chemicals, and filtering liquids.
-
Progressive Cavity Pumps - Progressive cavity pumps are designed for applications where high viscosity fluids need to be transferred. These pumps work by using a rotor and stator to create a steady flow of fluid, making them ideal for applications such as pumping molasses, resin, and latex.
-
Screw Pumps - Screw pumps are used in applications where high flow rates and low pressure differentials are required. These pumps work by using one or more screws to move fluid through a cylinder or pipe, making them ideal for applications such as transferring wood pulp, chemicals, and adhesives.
