Reciprocating Plunger Pumps

FEATURES & BENEFITS

1. High pressure, low flow applications: Reciprocating pumps are generally designed for low flow, high head applications. One of the most extreme of these applications is waterjet cutting, where only a few liters per minute flow through the pump, but pressures of 10,000 PSI are exceeded.

2. Proven, common technology: reciprocating pumps are one of the oldest and most proven types of pumps. Today, there is a wide range of reciprocating pumps in many different materials, types and sizes. Reciprocating pumps range from less than 1 horsepower to over 3,000 horsepower.

3. Durability: Reciprocating pumps are used in some of the most abrasive and corrosive applications. End fittings and end parts can be made of many different materials including stainless steel, aluminum bronze, tungsten carbide, ceramics and others. A wide range of valve types are used for abrasive applications such as pumping cement, sand slurry, slurry, etc.

4. Efficiency: Reciprocating pumps operate at a higher efficiency compared to other pump designs. In most cases, the efficiency of reciprocating pumps is around 90% at any set point.
