Do you continually do band-aid fixes, or do you want to start transitioning your site to being low maintenance?

When investing in new pumps and equipment, remember that the upfront cost is only 10% of the overall investment. Therefore, we understand the importance of choosing the perfect slurry pump, so here at Global Pumps we are committed to finding you the best solution for your site.

You’ve selected an air operated diaphragm pump because of its ideal flow rate, pressure, and durability. But there’s one problem… you need to install it upside down. This may be due to space requirements, but don't worry! There is a solution, spring loaded diaphragm pumps!

The SlurryPro pump is designed for continuous pumping of highly abrasive, high-density slurries with minimal maintenance requirements. The SlurryPro offers a wide range of benefits and is available in two ranges of centrifugal slurry pumps, the standard series of heavy-duty pumps and the diamond series of super duty pumps. Critical dimensions are interchangeable with other common centrifugal slurry pump designs, making it easy to upgrade basic centrifugal pumps to a SlurryPro.

Vintage season is fast approaching, and here at Global Pumps we want to help you be prepared as possible. We understand the importance of delicate handling and gentle transfer required during vintage. We offer an extensive range of high-quality food grade pumps perfect for wineries, boutique wine makers, distilleries, and breweries.

Self-priming pumps are a specific type of liquid pump. They are designed for fluid movement and transfer which results in increased efficiencies in many pumping applications.

To maintain optimal pump performance for longer, it is important to service your pump regularly, and ensure it's accessible for regular servicing including: removing sections of pipe work, maintaining sufficient cooling around the pump and having the required space for lifting equipment.

 The Global Pumps team have worked with chemical manufacturers for over forty-years, providing safe and reliable pumping solutions. One of the most crucial considerations when handling chemicals, is ensuring safety measures are met. Particularly when it comes to flammable liquids.

This week, we spoke with Amos to find out everything you need to know about pumping flammable liquids. Amos has worked with Global Pumps for over 10 years, consulting customers across multiple industries, advising of best practice and providing reliable pumping solutions.

Throughout mining operations, slurry pumps are critical in the effective transport of slurry across the plant. Their running costs are a significant component of the total lifecycle costs, estimated to be around 32%. Therefore, any failure to your slurry pump can bring your project to a grinding halt.

Air operated diaphragm pumps are tremendously flexible and easy to install. However, like any pump, they do have their technical limits when handling air or liquid pressure, which are defined precisely by the manufacturer for your model. But what sort of air pressure range do diaphragm pumps typically use?

Choosing between a magnetic drive pump and a peristaltic pump largely comes down to the fluid you are wanting to pump and the type of application.

Magnetic drive pumps use magnets to turn the drive shaft while peristaltic pumps use the compression of a tube or hose to create suction.

Let’s take a look at exactly how these two pumps differ and what their unique advantages and disadvantages are.
