  If your business depends on pumping products - particularly liquids - then you may find that you need an industrial pump. What is Industrial pump? So what is an industrial pump ? In a nutshell, an industrial pump is a piece of equipment within industry designed for pumping mainly liquids (but also some solids and gases) from one place to another. They often work through some kind of suction or propeller method. A good industrial pump will make shifting water, petroleum, slurry, oil and even food easier and faster. Many industrial pumps these days are plastic, but some pumps are made from carbon steel or cast iron. The material and the scale of the industrial pump will vastly depend on what it is being used for. What are the different types of Industrial Pumps used by Businesses? There are many different types of pumps available in industry. They can pump liquid through a variety of different methods. There are three main basic types of industrial pump: centrifugal, positive-displace

A gear pump is a type of displacement pump that runs with gears. The gear pump was invented in 1600 by a man called Johannes Kepler. Gear pumps are one of the most popular types of pump used in industry. Let’s take a look at the gear pump in more detail. What is Gear Pump? A gear pump uses a network of interlocking gears that are meshed together to move fluid via the displacement method. Therefore it is a type of displacement pump. This means that it works by trapping a certain amount of liquid and then forcing it to travel down the pipe, pumping and therefore ‘displacing’ the fluid. What are the advantages and disadvantages of Gear Pumps? With a gear pump, there is little leakage due to the tight clearance and the fast rotation which prevents the fluid from backwards leakage. The flow is usually smooth and pulse free when using a gear pump. The gears and gear houses usually have a snug and rigid design. This enables gear pumps to create high pressure and allows them to pump viscous f

  An Axial Pump or and Axial Flow pump (AFP) is one of the most popular Types of Pumps used in industry. These types of pumps are often used in irrigation and to circulate fluids in power plants and sewage plants. You might also hear them informally called elbow or propeller pumps. So, what is an axial pump and how does it work? Let’s take a look at these popular pumps in more detail. What is Axial Pump? Here at Linquip , we often get asked ‘ What is an Axial Pump ?’ It is an industrial pump that basically consists of a propeller in a pipe that is driven by a motor. The pressure comes from the flow of liquid over the blades. The liquid follows the same direction parallel to the axis, hence the name axial flow. The propeller in the pipe on an axial pump can be driven by either a sealed motor within the pipe or an electric motor or diesel engine mounted on the outside of the pipe. What are the advantages of an axial pump? An axial pump is a very efficient pump. The main advantage is th
