Did you know that the anticipated temperature of the medium being pumped and the environment the pump will be in, are two critical components in the pump selection process? Understanding these will ensure you select appropriate materials of construction and most importantly, the correct pump.

Laboratory pumps demand precise dosing, metering or the safe transfer of liquids, as well as a gentle pumping action. Given the nature of the products being pumped, the pump's characteristics are critical to ensure the integrity of the delicate product. 

Chemical air pumps are a popular choice when pumping chemicals or acids given their leak-free operation and diverse range of materials of construction. However, before selecting or purchasing a chemical pump, Global Pump suggests understanding the characteristics of your liquid and whether the chemical air pump selected is indeed suitable.

Air diaphragm pumps (AOD), also referred to as pneumatic pumps, are a suitable option for a wide range of industries, particularly the food and beverage industry. Their rugged construction, leak-free operation and variable flow and discharge pressures offer operators reliable and safe pumping. 

Verderflex offer a wide variety of quality, reliable peristaltic hose pumps. These pumps offer the ideal solution for difficult to pump liquids, abrasive, viscous or solids laden slurries, dosing chemicals and gentle transferring of fragile cell cultures.

Sanitary peristaltic hose pumps are commonly used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries due to their contamination-free fluid transfer capabilities. However, there are additional benefits that sanitary peristaltic hose pumps offer operators. 

Self-priming centrifugal pumps can be utilised in any application that standard centrifugal pumps are applied, but what makes them different is their ability to self-prime.

Hand-Operated Drum Pumps, sometimes referred to as manual drum pumps, are a safe and convenient drum pump suitable for emptying drums and containers. These pumps are generally more cost-effective, as there is no motor attached, and they require the operator to create the ‘pumping’ action.

Mine sites demand durability and reliability above all else for critical equipment such as pumps. Besides this, it is important that these pumps can handle the arduous nature of the pumped liquid.

Drum pumps are a popular choice for a wide range of industries. They are a portable pump that can be used to empty tanks, barrels, drums, and IBCs. With many liquids transported or delivered in 1000 L IBCs or 200 litre drums, these drum pumps allow for easy transfer.
