In the winemaking industry, selecting the right pumps is essential for smooth operations. Wineries traditionally invest significantly in acquiring new pumps tailored to their specific needs. However, the substantial cost of new pumps has led many wineries to reconsider their approach, turning towards spare parts as a practical alternative.

With operators constantly looking to achieve efficiency gains and extend the service life of their pumps, the issue of correct pump shaft alignment should be one of the first places to look for savings.  An incorrectly aligned shaft can lead to pr

A low-shear pump is designed to transfer fluids without causing significant damage to the physical properties of the fluid. This type of pump works by using a gentle, consistent pressure to move fluids through the system.

Peristaltic pumps and centrifugal pumps are two types of pumps that are commonly used in various industries. While both pumps have their own benefits, a peristaltic pump offers several advantages over a centrifugal pump. In this blog, we will explore some of the benefits of using a peristaltic pump compared to a centrifugal pump.

There comes a time in every good pump systems’ life where what once was adequate is now not good enough.  The flow needs to increase, the lines get extended, or the operators just need that bit of extra momentum on the discharge.  As pump experts, this isn’t the end of the world, we have several levers we can pull to help get that extra bit of pressure out of the pump and increase discharge pressure of centrifugal pumps to meet the new systems requirements.

When doing a pump selection for a specific application, it is important to know whether the product to be pumped has a higher viscosity than water. Viscosity of fluid is defined as that property which offers resistance to flow due to internal fricti

Vintage season is the busiest time of year, so it is important to understand your pump and any problems that may occur.

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.

Food processing pumps are critical in the hygienic transfer of delicate, delicious products in food production applications. There are a wide variety of food processing pumps available, which can make the selection difficult.
