What are the types of industrial pumps? To answer this question, it is better to know the industrial pump in the first place. An industrial pump is a mechanical device that is used to transfer different fluids (such as water, oil, gas, diesel, corrosive substances such as poisons and chemicals, etc.) from one place to another in industrial processes. These pumps are widely used in various industries including oil and gas, petrochemical, water and sewage, chemical industries, mines, construction facilities, food industries and other industrial fields.
These pumps can be used to transfer liquids with different pressures and flow rates and play an important role in the productivity and efficiency of industrial processes. Industrial pumps are divided into different types, in the following we will examine the types of industrial pumps and the application and performance of each of them.
Industrial pumps are designed in different types to suit the needs of different industries. Below, I introduce some types of industrial pumps:
Water is essential for good agriculture. Water is often found in various sources such as wells, ponds, streams and rivers. The water pump device is the best device to collect water from these sources. There are different types of industrial pumps for pumping this water, one of which is centrifugal pumps.
Centrifugal pumps are among the types of industrial pumps and are mostly used in the agricultural industry. This type of pump is also used for pumping sewage water, because these pumps are easily installed in pits and tanks and can easily move suspended materials in the sewage.
Centrifugal pump works on an impeller, the fluid enters the rotating impeller and is transferred from the end of the impeller to the centrifugal force. This process increases the speed and pressure of the fluid and directs it towards the pump outlet.
In other words, centrifugal pumps are also a type of industrial pump that uses a propeller to increase the speed and pressure of fluid delivery. In fact, most centrifugal pumps can be used in various industrial fields such as concrete pumps, fertilizer pumps and grinding pumps. Of course, this type of pump can be used in medicine, laboratory, construction, etc.
Dynamic pump or centrifugal pump is a type of industrial pump that continuously transfers kinetic energy to fluid and can have many applications. The kinetic energy produced in these pumps is converted into pressure energy and water passes through the outlet at high speed and pressure. The following are among the most important applications of industrial centrifugal pumps:
Used in agriculture, animal husbandry and fishing industry
It is used in the sewage and water treatment industry
Used in industrial washing and fire extinguishing systems
Use in mines and swimming pools
Used in heating systems
Reciprocating pumps are one of the most widely used types of industrial pumps. This type of pump is usually used for pumping liquids with high viscosity such as oil, paint, resin or food.
These pumps are used in applications that require a certain engine speed or high output pressure. Unlike a centrifugal pump, the output of a piston pump is not affected by pressure.
Reciprocating pumps have a hole on the suction side of the device and another hole on the discharge side of the device. A water pump performs suction by alternately filling a cavity and then displacing the fluid in each cycle, regardless of fluid volume and pressure.
In other words, reciprocating pumps are the most efficient type of industrial pumps that are often used to pump liquids with high viscosity such as oil, paint, resin or food. In fact, this type of air pump has special characteristics as a pump and is often used in operations that require precise engine speed or high pressure output. Unlike centrifugal pumps, the output of these motors is not affected by pressure. The pumps have one hole on the side of the device and another hole on the end of the device, which makes the installation of the device work regardless of size and pressure. These are the most important applications of reciprocating motors:
Used in oil, gas, petrochemical and oil refining industries
Use in light oil pumping
Use in pneumatic systems
Feeding small steam boilers with gas condensate
Used in car washes and semi-industrial companies
Submersible pumps are a type of industrial pump that work based on the principle of electric submersible pumping (ESP). ESP system engines are designed to operate at high pressures and temperatures (up to 300°F). Submersible pumps can be used in deep wells with high pressure and temperature. Of course, the installation, maintenance and maintenance costs of these types of industrial pumps are high, but they can be quite effective and efficient in industries such as the drilling industry. These pumps can also be used to drain underground water and prevent flooding during heavy rains.
Therefore, this pump in all kinds of industrial pumps can work without problems in deep wells with high pressure and temperature. Installing this pump using special power cables is very expensive. But with the development of high voltage cable manufacturing technology, this problem has been solved to some extent. These pumps are often used in oil wells that require deep drilling. In addition, this pump can be used to drain underground water and prevent flooding during heavy rains.
Positive displacement pump is a type of industrial pump that can have different types such as rotary pumps, reverse pumps, etc. In fact, positive displacement pumps can have different types, such as screw pumps, diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, gear pumps, etc., and according to the technical specifications, dimensions and dimensions, they can be used in different industries. Positive displacement pumps are commonly used in most dynamic industries such as textile, pharmaceutical, pipeline manufacturing and petrochemical, oil and gas, etc.
Therefore, the positive displacement pump sucks water from one side and discharges it from the other side at the end of each cycle. The use of these types of pumps is suitable for water and liquids with high viscosity. To use this type of pump, be careful not to block the flow path because by doing this the pressure will increase significantly and as a result the pump will be seriously damaged. The use of these pumps is very high and they are used in chemical, paper, water, sewage, etc. industries.
Axial pump is a type of dynamic pump that has suction parallel to the drive direction. Axial flow washing does not change the direction of water flow. In this pump, water enters and exits the pump parallel to the motor. It is screwed into the pipe. This pump has three to four vanes installed on the engine.
The design of the pump blades is such that the pump discharges water axially in a direction parallel to the impeller. The parallelism of the propeller blades creates very little pressure when pumping water. These pumps are used for high flow and low pressure applications.
In the axial flow pump, the impeller vanes are in such a way that the fluid enters and leaves the impellers axially, the appearance of the axial pump impeller is similar to the propeller of the ship, so the axial pump is also called screw pump. Axial pumps are capable of producing high flow rates at low flow pressures.
Axial pumps are widely used in various industries. These types of pumps are used for various purposes, including:
In fisheries, agriculture, urban and commercial industries, these pumps are used to transfer wastewater and liquid materials in various processes.
In power plants, axial pumps are used to move fluids in cooling systems and other processes related to energy production.
In the chemical industry, these types of pumps are used to transfer chemicals and other processes related to the production and processing of chemicals.
In sailboats, axial pumps are used to facilitate boat movement and water control in irrigation and propulsion systems.
In a radial flow pump, the fluid enters the pump impeller axially, and after passing through it, it exits the pump radially at a 90 degree angle. Radial pumps perform well at low flow rates and high pressures. In the centrifugal pump, the radial flow is created by the pressure force that directs the fluid towards the exit of the pump. In other words, this pressure force, which escapes from the center, causes the radial exit of the fluid.
Radial pumps are used in various industries due to their special features and applications. Some applications of radial pumps include:
1. Food and pharmaceutical industries: Radial pumps are used in food and pharmaceutical industries to transfer various liquids such as milk, fruit juice, chemicals in production and packaging processes.
2. Chemical and petrochemical industries: In these industries, radial pumps are used to transfer chemicals and crude oil. These pumps are used due to their resistance to chemicals and the ability to work in high pressure conditions.
3. Water pumping in agriculture: Radial pumps are used to pump water in agricultural irrigation systems. They have the ability to transfer water with high flow rate and pressure according to the needs of farms.
Piston pump is one of the types of reciprocating pumps in which the mechanism of suction, compression and discharge of fluid is performed by piston rods. In the suction phase, the inlet valve opens and the fluid enters the cylinder chamber. By increasing the height of the pistons and creating pressure, the outlet valve also opens and the fluid exits through it. This cycle is repeated continuously, which leads to the movement of the pistons and the displacement of the fluid in the system.
In other words, the piston pump is considered as a type of positive displacement pump and by performing the reciprocating action of the piston inside the cylinder, it implements pumping and increasing the water pressure. This type of pump is used in cases where there is a need for very high output pressure, for example, from 100 to 1000 bar. For this reason, these types of pumps are sometimes referred to as high-pressure or high-pressure piston pumps.
This product has another type compared to hydraulic applications, which is known as hydraulic piston pump or hydraulic piston pump. This type of pump is available in both radial and axial styles.

Submersible pumps are a subcategory of centrifugal industrial pumps and are known as submersible pumps. This type of pump, as a submersible pump, is mainly used to extract water from shallow underground wells, in order to supply water to agricultural land and places that need underground water.
Skimmers are part of the category of centrifugal submersible pump motors and are divided into two types of three-phase skimmer and single-phase skimmer. Single-phase sump pumps are designed for domestic use with outlet diameters of 1, 2, 3, and ¼ inches, while three-phase types are designed for industrial or agricultural use with outlet sizes of 2, 3, 4, and 6 inches. The power of these submersible pumps may vary from 1 to 20 horsepower. According to the customer’s needs, these pumps are offered with various body materials, including steel casing, cast iron casing and aluminum casing. As a practical example, water well skimmer pump is mentioned as the main application of these products.
The sludge pump, like the floor pump, is one of the types of industrial pumps, centrifugal and submersible, with the difference that this type of pump is able to move and pump fluids that contain solid materials and also has the ability to discharge waste materials and sewage. .
Regarding the selection of the sludge pump, it should be said that this category of pumps is considered among the centrifugal submersible pump engines. These pumps are divided into two types: three-phase sludge pumps and single-phase sludge pumps. The speed of the sludge pump electric motors is in the range of 900 to 3000 rpm, which can be adjusted in combination with the characteristics of the fluid (including concentration). Among other features, sludge pumps are available with various body materials depending on the customer’s needs, including steel sludge, cast iron sludge, and bronze sludge.
The main application of these pumps is seen in pumping the sludge of water wells. Also, these pumps are used to transfer and pump industrial, domestic, and other fluids containing suspended particles and solid particles.
Magnetic pump or magnetic pump is one of the centrifugal pumps in which the rotation of the impeller is done by the magnetic field instead of the shaft. Because the motor shaft is not in contact with the magnetic pump shaft, it has the advantage of not using seals and mechanical seals compared to other centrifugal pumps.
The magnetic pump is a subset of centrifugal pumps and works without fluid. In this type of pump, the impeller and the motor shaft are connected to each other through a magnetic field without direct contact. The way the magnetic pump works is that a set of magnets is placed on the outer shaft connected to the motor, and another set of magnets is placed on the shaft at the end of which is the propeller. Between the magnets mounted on the inner and outer shafts is the housing shell or the place where the fluid is pumped. The magnetic field created between the magnets due to the rotation of the driving shaft connected to the motor makes the shaft connected to the propeller and thus the propeller rotate, and finally the fluid will be pumped due to the rotation of the propeller.
