What types of industrial pumps are available?
Pumps and rotating equipment come in many shapes, sizes and configurations to suit particular applications. Hygienic processes, corrosive products, high viscosity products and particulates all call for specialised pumping equipment.
Generally, pumps are classified by their mechanical configuration and working principle;

AESPUMP® offers a wide range of pump types, use the cards below to find out more.
Magnetic Drive Pumps
Magnetic drive pumps are ideal for pure liquids with little to no solids content. Due to their sealless design they are also perfect for pumping hazardous, corrosive products. In this technology a drive magnet is magnetically coupled to the primary shaft driven by the motor.
Centrifugal Pumps
A centrifugal pump is the ideal pump for low viscosity liquids. Oils and fuels are particularly suited to this type of pump and can be pumped in large quantities. Centrifugal pumps are also the most economical and commonly used pumps for pumping water in industrial applications.
Liquid Ring Pumps
Two-stage and single stage liquid ring vacuum pumps are ideal for the chemical and allied process industries. Single stage liquid ring pumps are suitable for continuous operation and can handle wet corrosive process streams and are tolerant of particulates. They are an efficient solution for continuous operation at low pressure.
Rotary Vane Pumps
Vane pumps are suitable for: thinner liquids including gasoline and water, oils and other clean, solid free, high viscosity liquids.
Peristaltic Pumps
Peristaltic pumps can be used to handle chlorine and other disinfectants. They can also be used for pumping abrasive, highly corrosive, high density, shear sensitive and viscous products.
Eccentric Disc Pumps
Eccentric disc pumps are ideal for the containment of dangerous and valuable chemicals. Eccentric Disk pumps are durable and safe and have no mechanical seals, packing, coupling or magnets for complete product containment, excellent product recovery rates, high suction and discharge pressures.
Positive Displacement Pumps
Positive Displacement Pumps are ideally suited to the transfer of high viscosity fluids, such as thick oils, slurries and sewage. They are also suitable for handling fluids with high levels of solids, including wastewater and food particles.
Vacuum Pumps
Vacuum pumps are ideal for transferring viscous liquids and materials such as waste trap grease, mud, sediment-bearing fluids and wastewater. They are used in many industries including manufacturing, pharmaceutical production and chemical processing.
Submersible Pumps
Submersible pumps are designed to be placed underwater with some suitable for clean water such as pools, cisterns or pipe leaks and others for better for pumping dirty water with small particles.
