Factors to consider when choosing an industrial centrifugal pump 

To correctly choose the pump model that best suits the needs of each customer, it is necessary to analyse a series of fundamental aspects before acquiring the product. Everything is important when selecting the best option, and once our technicians have the necessary data, they will offer you the centrifugal pump that best meets your application. In this regard, it is essential to know the following beforehand:

  • Fluid: this is perhaps the most important parameter, as it depends on this that there are no wear or corrosion problems that could lead to unwanted breakdowns. The chemical composition of the fluid must be known in advance, as well as its viscosity or the presence of solid elements. The technology to be used will depend to a large extent on this factor.

  • Suction head: also called suction head, this is the vertical distance between the source of the liquid and the centrifugal pump.

  • Water mirror: this is the level of the liquid at its highest point from the source of the liquid.

  • Head: this is the vertical distance between the highest point of discharge of the liquid and the pump, and will be essential to know how much the pump has to draw in to deliver the fluid.

  • Stroke: this is the total distance the liquid has to travel through the piping.

  • Discharge flow rate: essential to determine the size of the industrial centrifugal pump according to the cubic metres/hour you want it to be able to handle.

  • Pipe diameter: it is essential to determine which diameter is suitable for the transport of the fluid to avoid unnecessary head losses.

  • Type of duct: the material it should be made of, generally stainless steel in industry or PVC or copper in service installations.

INOXMIM: specialists in the design and manufacture of industrial centrifugal pumps 

The intended use of the centrifugal pump will be decisive in the final choice. The most common is for pumping water and non-corrosive liquids, but their range of applications is expansive.

They are also used to increase the pressure in water rings, use in construction, excessive accumulation in ponds and irrigation on farms, to name just a few of the most common.

Through FLUIDMM, our exclusive department for the manufacture of industrial pumps, we develop a range of pumping equipment ranging from centrifugal pumps to positive displacement pumps with a wide range of applications in industry.

We adapt to the needs of our customers by customizing pumping equipment with special features, integrating pumping and mixing, cleaning and filtration equipment, etc.

We take care of choosing the perfect solution to ensure the highest possible cost-effectiveness. As a highlight and to show our wide range of solutions, we present two types of pumps: FL and food grade models.

FL family centrifugal pumps
