Centrifugal Pumps
Converting Mechanical Energy to Hydraulic Energy
Centrifugal pumps are the most popular and commonly used type of pump for fluid transfer. They are frequently utilised to induce flow or elevate liquids from low to high levels. These pumps operate on a straightforward mechanism, converting rotational energy into energy in a moving fluid.
Centrifugal Pumps' Characteristics
Learn more about centrifugal pumps and their features.
-
Efficiency and Performance
Centrifugal pumps are highly efficient, capable of handling high flow rates and low-viscosity fluids. Their performance depends on factors such as impeller design, rotational speed, fluid properties, and system conditions.
-
Priming Mechanism
These pumps require priming to remove air and create a vacuum for efficient operation, either manually or automatically.
-
Corrosion Resistance
Designed for durability, centrifugal pumps can handle various fluids, including corrosive ones, ensuring extended service life even under heavy use.
-
Durability and Maintenance
While some centrifugal pumps require frequent maintenance, chemical centrifugal pumps have minimal routine maintenance needs, making them cost-effective in the long term.
-
Wide Range of Applications and Versatility
Centrifugal pumps are highly versatile and suitable for numerous industries and applications.
Learn About the Different Types of Centrifugal Pumps
Magnetic Drive
Magnetic drive pumps use magnets to create a seal between the motor and impeller, eliminating the need for a traditional shaft seal. This design prevents leaks and contamination, making them ideal for handling corrosive or hazardous fluids in various industries.

Water treatment
-
Acids
-
Alkalis
Self-Priming
Self-priming centrifugal pumps can handle air pockets and gas bubbles that typically interrupt fluid flow, unlike traditional models that require the suction line to be filled.
Industry:
- Water
Applications:
-
Water treatment
-
Wastewater
Submersible
Submersible pumps are designed to operate fully submerged in the fluid being pumped. They convert the kinetic energy of a rotating impeller into pressure energy to move fluids.
