Finding the proper pump for a specific production process requires a lot of legwork. Different pump modes of operation must be considered—from positive displacement to centrifugal to peristaltic, for example—along with workload, flow rates, working pressures, and on and on and on.
The self priming centrifugal pump is designed to lift water from some level below the pump suction without having to fill the suction piping with liquid. It accomplishes this by creating a partial vacuum at the pump suction which removes the air from the suction line. The pump then releases the entrained air through itʹs […]
A major global chemical company found itself facing costly condensation leaks at its Canadian isopropyl alcohol manufacturing facility. Not only did water condensing into a lubricant tank have to be drained up to three times a day, it also led to equipment failure that could shut down the plant for up to a full week.
The propeller in an axial-flow pump is the main rotating component of the pump and its design. By spinning the propeller at a certain speed, the flow and head can be developed based on the design considerations.
There are many pump designs that fall into the positive displacement category but, for the most part, they can be nicely divided into two basic groups. The reciprocating group operates via pistons, plungers, or diaphragms while rotary pumps use gears, lobes, screws, vanes, and peristaltic action.
Rotary pumps are positive displacement pumps that utilize rotary, rather than reciprocating, motion in their pumping action. They can be designed to pump liquids, gases, or mixtures of the two. As is the case with reciprocating pumps, their capacity per rotation is independent of driven speed.
The cost of spares and technician repair time affected their bottom line, and asked CheckPoint to provide a replacement system using EPDM seals
Sometimes you can forget just how difficult the conditions can be for compressor equipment on a truck that is used in liquid-handling applications.
Lubricant oils are a very common element in our daily lives, as they help many engines and mechanisms to function properly. However, during this use, lubricant oils become unsuitable for their original purpose due to the presence of impurities or loss of original properties. At this point, these lubricant oils need to be replaced and become […]
