Self-priming pumps create a partial vacuum to discharge water while also evacuating any air. It does this by combining the air and water during the priming process, forcing the air to rise and the water to sink or go down. Gravity then pulls the air-free water back into the impeller, where it mixes with the remaining air in the suction line.
This process repeats until all air is evacuated and a vacuum forms in the suction line. Once this happens, atmospheric pressure forces the water into the suction line and towards the impeller to allow pumping to begin.
How does an industrial pump work?
Industrial pumps work in much the same way as other pumps. The impeller is driven by a motor to transfer liquid from the intake, through the pump and out of the discharge of the pump. Transferring liquid from one place to another.
What is an industrial pump?
Industrial pumps are specifically designed for heavy-duty applications, featuring higher-grade construction with hard-wearing materials compared to domestic pumps. This guarantees durability in harsh conditions for, more continuous use and higher flow rates.
What fluids can industrial pumps handle?
Industrial pumps can withstand solid-containing or corrosive fluids thanks to their strong construction materials - typically stainless steel or bronze - ranging from oils, fuels and slurries to chemicals and food products.
How are industrial pumps powered?
Industrial pumps can utilise 110v, 230v or 400v power, although some models may not be available in all variations.
What is a self-priming pump?
Self-priming pumps are pumps that are capable of achieving and maintaining primed status in the suction leg of a pump system without the aid of an additional priming pump at each start-up. This means that they do not need a separate priming system and are maintainable from the surface.
