Pump Type



	Your choices are...
	Axial Flow Pumps		A rotary pump that develops head mostly by the propelling or lifting action of the vanes on water, commonly referred to as a propeller pump.
	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 rates are used, these pumps consistently collect high quality, uniform samples. Bladder pumps are EPA-accepted for low-flow sampling.
	Canned Motor Pumps		The canned motor pump is a sealless pump. The electric motor is encapsulated in a can that isolates the rotor and process liquid from the stator. With a canned motor pump, the inner rotor is directly connected to the pump impeller, which unitizes the pump and motor. This results in a compact pumping package.
	Cantilever Pumps		Motor and seals are kept away from the pumped media. The pump has an elongated drive shaft and is submerged in the media. They have no submerged seals, bearings, bushings, or suction check valves. The cantilever or overhung shaft is supported by heavy-duty ball bearings that are located above the pumped liquid.
	Centrifugal Pumps		Centrifugal pumps use a rotating impeller to add velocity to the liquid being pumped. Within the pump, the velocity of the liquid is generated by centrifugal force. The velocity of the solution is converted with internal restrictions within the pump into pressure. This type of pump is used for liquids that are water like in viscosity and when quantities of flow are large compared to the pressure requirements.
	Circulation Pumps		Pumps that are used to keep media circulating through the distribution or process system.
	Condensate Pumps		Pumps that transport or collect and transport condensate collected from a steam system back into the system for reheating and reuse. These pumps close the boiler / steam / condensate loop by returning hot condensate back to the system. This takes advantage of valuable BTUs, which would otherwise go to waste. Or pumps for removal of unwanted condensate from an HVAC or appliance collection pan.
	Dosing Pumps		Dosing pumps are low-volume fluid pumps with controllable discharge rates used to inject chemical additives into the mixing or pumping system. They are frequently used to efficiently inject difficult to mix fluids into batch-tank systems because of their low volume.
	Diaphragm Pumps		Diaphragm pumps are the most common industrial PD pumps. They are sometimes referred to as a membrane pump. A typical configuration consists of a single diaphragm, a chamber, and suction and discharge check valves to prevent backflow. The piston can either be directly coupled to the diaphragm or can force a hydraulic oil to drive the diaphragm. Variations include bellows-type diaphragms, hydraulically actuated double diaphragms, and air-operated, reciprocating double-diaphragms.
	Drum Pumps		Drum pumps are designed to transport or dispense the contents of drums, pails, or tanks. Pumps are driven by a variety of methods including hand operated, electric, pneumatic, and hydraulic driven motors. Explosive environments or flammable fluids may require an intrinsically safe actuation method.
	Fire Service Pumps		Pumps that are used for the supply of water/media for firefighting equipment.
	Gear Pumps		Gear pumps are positive displacement rotary pumps used to transport high pressure and high volume flows. They function through the use of two or more internal gears that create vacuum pressure, propelling the fluid media. Gear pumps provide a comparably continuous, non-pulsating flow in relation to diaphragm pumps or peristaltic pumps. For this reason, gear pumps may be preferred in a number of applications from laboratory to petrochemical and marine applications, and processes involving hydraulic presses and dry pit steam power.
	Grinder Pumps		A mechanical device that shreds solids and raises sewage to a higher elevation through pressure sewers. A sewage grinder pump will discharge a finely ground slurry into a small diameter pressure pipe. In a low-pressure sewer system (LPSS) the piping downstream of the grinder pump will typically be under low pressure, 60psi or less.
	Hand Pumps		Hand pumps are manually operated pumps that can driven by hand or foot via a handle or lever. This manual external force actuates an internal mechanism, which increases pressure for moving fluids such as gas, chemicals, or water.
	Jet Pumps		A surface-mounted centrifugal pump that uses an "ejector” device to augment its suction capacity. The ejector may be down in the well, to assist the pump in overcoming the limitations of suction. (Some water is diverted back down the well, causing an increase in energy use.)
	Macerator Pumps		Macerator pumps are designed to empty holding tanks of sewage. They typically include a bronze cutter to grind waste down to a small particle size.
	Metering Pumps		Metering pumps are positive displacement chemical dosing devices with the ability to vary capacity manually or automatically, as process conditions require. Metering pumps feature a high level of repetitive accuracy and are capable of pumping a wide range of chemicals including acids, bases, corrosives, or viscous liquids and slurries.
	Mixing Pumps		Mixing pumps are used for mixing applications within the contents of a drum, tank or other container.
	Piston / Plunger Pumps		Piston pumps and plunger pumps are reciprocating pumps using a plunger or piston to move the media through a cylindrical chamber. They use steam power drives, pneumatic drives, hydraulic drives, or electric drives to actuate the piston or plunger. Some piston pumps and plunger pumps are also referred to as well service or high viscosity pumps.
	Peristaltic Pumps		Peristaltic pumps are rotary pumps using a turning mechanism to move media through a tube. 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, drive, and tubing. Peristaltic pumps are also referred to as flexible member pumps, flexible tube pumps, dispensing pumps, or dosing pumps.
	Refueling Pumps		Fuel handling pumps used for the refueling of machinery, automobiles, aircraft, watercrafts or other equipment.
	Rotary Lobe Pumps		Rotary lobe pumps are positive displacement pumps that use rotating lobes to direct flow. Lobe pumps are similar to gear pumps in operation in that fluid flows around the interior of the casing. Rotary lobe pumps are frequently used in food applications because they can process solids without damaging the product. Since the lobes do not contact each other, these pumps can handle products of a larger particle size and are ideal for pushing through low viscosity media.
	Sampling Pumps		Pumps used for extracting a small amount media from its main body for analysis.
	Screw Pumps		Screw pumps are rotary, positive displacement pumps that can have one or more screws to transfer high or low viscosity fluids along an axis.
	Submersible Pumps		These pumps are mounted in the tank with the solution. The motor is normally contained in an oil filled cavity that is protected for contact with the liquid by a lip or mechanical seal. They can be designed to pump large solids or grind solids to smaller sizes, transfer wastewater at large flow rates or high pressures, or just pick up water off the floor or the bottom of a tank.
	Sump Pumps		A sump pump is an automatic water pump installed in a contained compartment to remove unwanted water build-up that threatens to encroach on living or equipment space.
	Reciprocating Pumps		Reciprocating pumps move liquids by a plunger or piston that travels back and forth inside a cylinder. Regulating the speed of the drive controls flow. There is no head loss by throttling as in a centrifugal pump. These pumps are often used for high or very high pressures. Also often used as metering pumps because of constancy of flow rate. Adjusting the RPM of the driver can easily change the flow rate.
	Split Case Pumps		Split case pumps are larger pumps that are used for high flow applications. "Split case" describes the pump housing design. The case around the impeller or pumping mechanism is comprised of two parts that bolt or assemble together. These pumps come in vertical and horizontal configurations.
	Trash Pumps		Portable pump and power source typically for dewatering applications. Can handle media with high solids content.
	Turbine Pumps		A centrifugal pump uses diffuser vanes to transform the velocity head into pressure head. These pumps have one or more stages, each consisting of an impeller on a vertical shaft, surrounded by stationary and usually symmetrical guide vanes. Combines the energy-imparting characteristics of axial-flow and propeller pumps.
	Well Pumps		Pumps used for the extraction of water or slurry from the ground.
	Lift Stations		A pump station that contains pumps, valves and electrical equipment necessary to pump water or wastewater.
	Other		Other unlisted or specialized pumps.
