Centrifugal Pump Maintenance Tips: Keep Your System Rolling

Centrifugal pumps are among the most widespread pumps worldwide and find application in various industries ranging from manufacturing and mining to agriculture and petrochemicals. Advanced Flow Controls (AFC) knows that centrifugal pumps have differentiating features and carries well-screened products from renowned manufacturers to meet our customers' demands for heavy-duty, low-cost, and efficient fluid management.

How Centrifugal Pumps Work

A centrifugal pump works with a very efficient but uncomplicated mechanism. It contains an impeller, which is spun quickly to produce centrifugal force. Centrifugal force provides kinetic energy to the fluid so that it is transferred from low to high. Hence, centrifugal pumps are particularly well suited to transfer vast volumes of fluid over a short period of time with high efficiency and are well suited for applications where maximum flow rates are of importance.

Major Advantages of Centrifugal Pumps

Excellent high flow handling high volume, best suited for high-flowing applications

Light weight and simple to handle

Low maintenance is needed

Low noise and minimal leakage risk except if the case is damaged

Magnetic coupling alternatives with auto-disengaging and motor protection on heavy load

These characteristics of centrifugal pumps make them a great choice in chemical processing, fuel transfer, water supply, and other industries. Their ability to transfer high volumes of fluids at low noise and wear makes them ideal to operate in the long term at low costs.
