22 Feb The Different Types of Submersible Pumps & What We Use Them For

Common Types and Typical Uses of Submersible Pumps  While it might be common practice to refer to a flowing river as an analogy to explain the behaviour of electricity, water and electricity are highly incompatible. Nevertheless, there are numerous situations when it is necessary to operate...

19 Jan What are Diaphragm Pumps, And What Are They Used for?

Diaphragm Pumps

  The need to transport water from rivers and streams for use in the home and elsewhere posed a challenge for ancient civilisations. This simple but essential task often occupied early humans for a significant part of each day. Inevitably, they developed ways to make the job quicker and less laborious, using devices like the shadoof and the iconic Archimedes screw. These ancient machines were the distant precursors of the many different devices used to transport water and other liquids today, including sophisticated diaphragm pumps.

19 Jan Types of Chemical Handling Pumps and Their Use

Chemical Handling Pumps The history of pumping equipment is lengthy. Most of it has been devoted to developing new and more efficient ways to transport water. With the arrival of the internal combustion engine, the technology was adapted to circulate the viscous oils required to lubricate...

Why you need our centrifugal pumps for sale The world is currently experiencing a water crisis, and its effects are becoming increasingly evident in South Africa. Due to the naturally semi-arid conditions prevailing in many parts of our country, potable water reserves are being stretched to...

14 Dec The Challenges Facing Chemical Pump Manufacturers and Their Solutions

The challenge facing chemical pump manufacturers For centuries the sole task of the various pumping devices in use was to transport water. Initially, primitive creations such as the Middle Eastern shadoof did little more than transfer liquid from rivers and lakes to those standing on the...

From the Shadoof to the Modern Industrial Pumps Manufacturer

The need to transport drinking water from rivers and lakes to their primitive dwellings drove early humans to seek labour-saving solutions. At first, they fashioned carrying vessels from animal skins and wooden buckets. In Ancient Egypt and parts of the Middle East, a simple device known as a shadoof marked the first attempt to mechanise the process. Many moons later, a renowned Greek scientist developed the Archimedes Screw to become the world’s first industrial pump manufacturer.

Some Typical Applications for a Chemical Centrifugal Pump

Pumping equipment relies on several different types of mechanical action for its functionality. Some models utilise a plunger or piston to draw in and then discharge a liquid, while others might emulate the peristaltic action of the intestine by compressing a flexible tube to keep its fluid contents in motion. A third variety employs the rotational force generated by a fan-like device with curved vanes, an impeller. Typically, the latter mechanism is responsible for the centrifugal pumps' action widely used by the chemical industry in numerous applications.

22 Oct Types of Submersible Pumps and some of their Uses

Pumping equipment is ubiquitous and is used for all manner of purposes. Some of the more common uses include transporting crude oil from wells and drilling platforms to distant refineries and distributing natural gas and drinking water to homes and businesses. It is also essential...

22 Oct How Dosing Pumps work and some Typical Uses

Most pumping equipment is required to generate a continuous stream of liquid, transporting it between the source and the point of use. For example, feedwater is delivered to a boiler in this manner, and drinking water is distributed to homes and businesses in the same...

23 Sep Gear Pumps – How they Work and some Typical Uses

One may believe that pumping equipment's sole function is to convey a liquid or gas along a pipe or drain floodwater. In practice, this is not always the case. For example, in everyday life, there are numerous instances where it is required to deliver discreet...
