Specialized Pumps are used in applications where the use of standard commodity pumps would provide inferior performance. What are your needs?

The general needs for a pump is to move a specific quantity of a fluid at a certain pressure. Unfortunately for the user, there are many different designs of pumps capable of meeting these conditions, consequently considering all types and knowing that the best has been selected is very difficult. It may be possible to perform the service with a standard pump, but quite often the best solution is to use a specialized ‘niche’ engineered pump, particularly when the lifetime cost of ownership is considered. The savings in low initial cost of a commodity pump can soon be negated with excessive maintenance!

Let us put our experience to work for you by selecting the type of pump that will work well in your service. We are not tied to one manufacturer or style of pump, which gives us the ability to make an informed and proper recommendation for your application, enabling you to be knowledgeable and comfortable with the decision.

1) SEALLESS - these are used where leakage of the pumped liquid to the atmosphere is to be completely eliminated
2) LOW FLOW/ HIGH HEAD - generally pumps outside the pressure range of centrifugal pumps, or to the far left of the centrifugal pump best efficiency point
3) CHEMICAL RESISTANT - pumps where corrosion from the pumped liquid is a major problem
4) HIGH VISCOSITY - viscosities above approximately 100 SSU
5) WATER AND WASTE SERVICE - a wide range of products covering the water and waste industries
6) LARGE PUMPS - pump to handle multiphase gas and liquid, solid handling, self priming, wide operating range, steep performance curve, etc.
