All the industries work diligently on a daily basis to manufacture and offer products that make the lives of the public easy. These companies rely on machines that increase the efficiency of their production. Several industries like water, chemicals, petroleum, sludge, food & beverages, require pumps to transfer and treat various viscous liquids as a part of their manufacturing process. For tackling clean and viscid applications, these industries need pumps that are resilient and are capable of withstanding rough treatments, like Positive Displacement pumps. Positive Displacement Pumps work by trapping the fluid in the cavity and then transferring it to the discharge end of the pump. Several pumps work on the principle of positive displacement like the High Pressure Slurry Pump, Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps, Sludge Pump, etc. One should have a brief understanding of these pumps and the applications they treat.
A High Pressure Slurry Pump, one of the sub-types of Positive Displacement Pumps, treats slurry – a mixture of solids and liquids. The tough-built of these pumps can easily handle viscous media like paints and crude oil, which makes them an ideal choice for industries like chemical, pharma, food, cosmetics, paper, etc. Not only this, Slurry Pumps are extremely easy to clean and maintain.
Sludge Pumps also belong to the category of Positive Displacement Pumps and are used to effectively transfer unclean water and waste components. These pumps are capable of handling aggressively corrosive liquids effectively, making them an ideal option for industries like mining, steel processing, power generation, ETP plants, and municipal sewer treatment.
Unlike other pumps in the category, the Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps do not operate through an electric motor, instead utilizes compressed air to function. These pumps are an ideal choice for treating applications that require low pulsation and smooth flow and are available in various materials like aluminum, stainless steel, ductile iron, Teflon, and PVDF. Air Operated Double Diaphragm Pumps are not only efficient in handling abrasive liquids but are also cost-efficient.
Roto, one of the best pump manufacturers in South Africa, offers Positive Displacement Pumps that are best in quality and are suitable for every industrial need.
