Where Are Transfer Pumps Used?

Transfer pumps are used in many industrial areas because their usage areas are wide. These pumps, which play an effective role in transporting different fluids from one place to another, also have filtration and circulation features with the filter to be used. We can say that it is used in every industry. However, it is used in different areas depending on its design and operation. For this reason, it is necessary to examine the usage areas of transfer pumps one by one.

What are the Types of Transfer Pumps and In Which Applications Are They Used?

Transfer pumps are used to move liquids or gases to different locations. It is possible to talk about different types of these mechanical devices for different applications. Types of transfer pumps are:

Centrifugal pumps: Centrifugal pumps work with an electric motor by taking the liquid inside from the suction connection. It can also have a magnetic coupling or shaft seal, and is a type of pump combined with a coupling or monoblock connection. These pumps move the liquid thanks to centrifugal action. They are produced in different capacities and material structures that can work with various chemicals.

Drum pumps: It is an important equipment used to access and transfer chemical liquids in storage containers such as barrels, IBC containers or drums. These pumps are essential for the safe transportation and application of different chemicals. Barrel pumps are versatile devices that can work with electricity, air or charged motors, and they are produced from various materials according to their usage areas. The most common are materials such as PP, PVDF and SS.

Air-Operated double diaphragm pumps: They require a compressed air source and their working principle is based on filling and discharging the diaphragms with air. Thanks to these features, it finds a wide range of use in industrial sectors. The functionality of pumps varies depending on the body and internal parts materials, depending on the properties of the liquid to be pumped.

Electric perated double diaphragm pumps: They effectively pump liquid with diaphragm movements. It has the principle of working with electricity instead of air. It stands out with its precise dosing and transfer performance. At the same time, it can create a pulse-free and stable flow and is preferred in industrial areas with its high energy efficiency.

Lobe pumps: Lobe pumps operate with positive displacement and bi-directional operating features. Instead of gears, lobes move and thus the liquid is pumped. It is especially used in the transfer of granular materials such as cherries and olives, in high viscosity fluid transfers or in wastewater applications.

Gear pumps: They work using a mechanism where two separate gears are connected to each other. This mechanism is usually connected to a motor shaft and provides effective performance in chemical dosing and transfer applications. It is mostly preferred for viscous fluids.

Mono pumps: It is a type of pump that works by using a rotor connected to the motor shaft and the movement of the stator material in which it rotates. They are widely preferred especially in the transfer of high viscosity fluids and precise dosing applications. They are also widely used in sludge transfer and dosing applications in treatment applications.

Peristaltic hose pumps: It attracts attention with its different structure from other pumps. Its working principle is that the liquid passing through a hose is compressed and released by the rotor rotating inside the pump. The lack of problems such as dry operation and fluid leakage are important reasons to choose this type of pump.
