What are the Pump Types, What are they used for?

The machines that have the ability to take electrical energy and convert it into hydraulic energy and thus support the movement of the liquid with mechanical power are called pumps. Pumps, which move the liquid from low pressure to high pressure, operate based on the principle of compression or lifting, which is mechanical force. Pumps are produced in models suitable for daily use as well as in types suitable for industrial use. Pump types are prepared with features that vary according to usage areas and needs. The pump has a deep history dating back to the 3rd century BC. Its development over the years has been in line with both developing technology and needs. It is possible to benefit from many different types of pumps in different areas of use in the changing world. Known for their different design features and pressures, the pumps also have variable options in terms of usage area. There are many different types of pumps such as diaphragm pump, fuel pump, gear pump, submersible pump, vacuum pump, centrifugal pump. Each pump is produced for its intended use and can be purchased depending on the use. Pumps are types of machinery used in many places from the healthcare industry to the industrial area. In purchasing processes, it is recommended to pay attention to the details in quality production as well as the pump features and suitability for the area of ​​use. Pump types with quality production feature provide advantages in terms of use, while also supporting the acquisition of long-term use privileges.


Centrifugal Pumps

Centrifugal pumps, which work with the principle of creating pressure, create a vacuum thanks to the impeller in them. With the vacuum created, it draws the liquid in, so the impeller rotates faster. The liquid taken in during the rotation cycle is thrown out. In addition to the paper industry, fuel stations, hydrophore systems, and centrifugal pumps are used in irrigation processes for agricultural purposes and in the treatment of wastewater. It occupies less space with its pump structure, which is known for saving electricity in the usage area. Centrifugal pumps, which are known for their long life, also provide advantages because they require less maintenance.
