What are industrial pumps? 

Industrial pumps transport liquids, gases, wastewater, oil, slurry, and a wide variety of other fluids from one place to another. They’re made from durable materials and are used across many industries. 

If you’re looking for an industrial pump, we can help. All Purpose Pumps offers decades of experience and detailed industry know-how to help you find the best solution for your project.

What are the different types of pumps for industry?

There are two main types of pumps for industry projects. These types include vertical multistage and vortex pumps. Both have something unique to offer, with varying models available. Let’s look at their strengths and differences.

1. Vertical Multistage Pump: This durable pump is made with stainless steel and silicon carbide. It is ideal for applications that demand high pressure, such as large shopping complexes, mining operations, high-rise buildings, and hospitals.
   
   This pump also uses a multistage impeller design for effective wastewater treatment and irrigation, helping to keep running costs low while reducing noise and vibration. It handles fluid temperatures between -15°C and 120°C and is available in 12 different models. The available models offer flow rates ranging from 0.66 L/sec to 50 L/sec.
2. Vortex Pump: The Vortex Pump uses moving impellers to create a vortex that helps move fluids without touching them. This helps to reduce clogging, even when taking care of liquids with soft fibrous materials.
   
   Its rigid and durable manufacturing makes this pump work well for industrial applications like wastewater treatment, mining, and large commercial buildings.

What are some important things I should know about industrial pumps?

If you’re looking for pumps, there are a couple of things you should consider before you buy.

Manufacturing 

First, you’ll need an industrial pumping system that can last. It’s costly and time-consuming to replace a poorly made pump in a year’s time, so you’ll want to get it right from the start. 

To ensure your pump has a long lifespan, look for quality manufacturing. Pumps made from silicon carbide and stainless steel are your best bet.

Size  

Make sure you also check the size of the industrial pump before buying one. You want it to fit the needs of the building. Choosing one that’s too small will cause the pump to overwork, creating issues in the future. Too large, and this could affect efficiency while also potentially creating wear and tear over time.

FAQs

How much maintenance does an industrial pump need?

An industrial pump should be serviced regularly to keep it in the best condition. A consistent maintenance process will also help ensure better efficiency and reduce running costs. Choosing a well-made industrial pump with MIP (maintenance in place) capabilities will help to simplify the process when your next service comes around.

What industries use different types of pumps?

Pumps are used across a wide range of industries, from food and beverage processing to chemical processing, wastewater management, and heavy industry. 

Different applications require specialised solutions, such as dosing pumps for precision fluid transfer, progressive cavity pumps for handling viscous fluids, or solids handling pumps for wastewater. 

Other systems, like pressure systems and pump stations, often rely on suction centrifugal pumps, positive displacement pumps, or peristaltic hose pumps to ensure efficient operations. Whether for storage, transfer, or flow control, there’s a wide range of pumps designed to meet unique industrial needs.

What accessories and components should I be aware of when setting up a pump system?

Setting up an industrial pump system can involve more than just the pump itself. Essential components like control valves, relief valves, hose fittings, and hose reels help manage flow and safety. 

Systems for industries like chemical processing or water treatment might also use mechanical diaphragm pumps, magnetic drive pumps, or screw pumps for specialised needs. Accessories like level oilers, grease guns, and storage tanks can also be used for maintaining pump performance.
