Types of Process Pumps

Process pumps are a type of pump designed for usage in the industrial sector. These pumps are used for the transportation of fluids within a production environment, wherein the fluid transfer happens during a manufacturing process. Process pumps are required to perform with high efficiency, reliability, and safety standards.

Process pumps are used in a variety of manufacturing processes, such as chemical processing, food and beverage production, pharmaceutical manufacturing, water and wastewater treatment, mining, and pulp and paper production. These pumps are suitable for transporting corrosive, viscous, abrasive, and hazardous fluids and are available in different materials of construction, such as stainless steel, cast iron, and plastic.

The primary types of process pumps include centrifugal pumps and positive displacement pumps. Centrifugal pumps work by converting rotational kinetic energy into hydrodynamic energy, creating a flow of fluid by utilizing an impeller to create a centrifugal force.

Robert J. Fitzmyer provides the finest ANSI centrifugal pumps. ANSI pumps refer to products that comply with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) standards for their design and performance. These pumps are known for their reliability and efficiency, making them the industry standard for a wide range of applications.

The ANSI standards outline the requirements for the construction and performance of centrifugal pumps used in various industries, including chemical, petrochemical, and pharmaceutical. The ANSI pump design includes a back pull-out construction feature, which allows for easy maintenance and repair of the pump without having to remove the entire casing or piping. This makes ANSI pumps an excellent choice for applications that require frequent maintenance.

Positive displacement pumps are a type of pump that works by trapping a fixed amount of fluid in an enclosed space and then forcing it to move from the inlet to the outlet of the pump. These pumps operate by creating a vacuum at the inlet side of the pump, allowing the fluid to be drawn into the pump chamber. As the pump chamber becomes full, the fluid is then compressed and displaced, moving it toward the outlet side of the pump. Positive displacement pumps are suitable for low to high-viscosity fluids and are often used in applications where accuracy and consistency are essential.

There are three different types of applications for positive displacement pumps – High-pressure/Low-flow applications, high-fluid-viscosity applications, and accurately controlled flow applications.
