When selecting an industrial pump, one of the most important factors to consider is the viscosity of the fluid being transferred.

Viscosity refers to a liquid’s resistance to flow caused by internal friction within the liquid. Simply put, the thicker the liquid, the higher the viscosity.

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!

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 winemakers, 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.

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 us

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. 

Pump curves fall into several categories and can represent different aspects of the pump’s performance. The most common types of pump curves include: pump family selection, the manufacturer’s published curve, certified pump curve and system curve.

Wine transfer pumps are a critical component of wine production. When it comes to selecting the appropriate wine transfer pump for your site, it is important you understand the different options.

Pumps in the food and beverage industry must comply with strict standards to ensure the integrity of the product being pumped. To ensure you select the ideal food-grade pump, it is critical you consider the following: flow rate, product characteristics, construction materials and any approval requirements. 

In some applications, a single pump may not be suitable for the site’s requirements. Did you know it is possible to install pumps either in series or parallel to increase the flow rate or increase the head pressure?
