We will really be astonished if we start to think of mankind’s incredible journey from the earliest known time to this advanced age of LCDs and iPhones. At first, human did not have a single tool which can help him in his early quest of satisfying his hunger. By only observing the fight between animals, he also developed his own set of tools to suit the need. Later on, outstanding inventions of fire and wheel changed the fate of human civilisation. Even today, applied science and state of the art technology is helping us to invent newer set of high performing devices which can make our work easier and life more and more comfortable.


These days, some of the times, heavy duty high performing submersible devices are needed to move the liquid in various specific scenarios like industrial waste removal, sewage removal, kitchen waste, food processing waste, mine dewatering etc. In these cases, highly innovative submersible pumps became talk of the town since hitting the market across continents all over the world because of their high ...
... utility. Since, they have to perform the specified operation fully staying within water; hence they are mainly made of stainless steel or cast iron. Moreover, submersible pumps come in manual or automatic version involving dry motor or oil bath. Some of the other facilities include having guide rail or free standing facility.


Completely different set of high utility machines are required for the movement of chemicals which are corrosive, hazardous, reactive in nature and often includes aggressive, dirty and solid laden fluids as well. Mainly gets used in chemical processing, manufacturing, mineral processing, and steel manufacturing industry for the movement of sulphuric, hydrofluoric, chromic acid, and hydrogen peroxide etc. acid pumps are beneficial. Mainly they are designed for the tough conditions and can operate at high temperature (as much as 120 degree Celsius) and high pressure (up to 20.6 bars) as well. This state of the art machine ishaving seal-less structure and non-metallic construction and can prevent the machine from running dry as well. Also, for the wet parts, they are made of special type of plastics and durable ceramics making them corrosion resistant. Most importantly, they are having zero emission making them a perfect environment friendly device and have much less maintenance cost as compared to other such type of devices.


For the chemical sector, where the industry mainly deal with dangerous, aggressive and corrosive chemicals, newly designed chemical pumps are ideal choice since they are manufactured taking into consideration of the type of material to be moved from one place to other. Depending upon the need, they can be classified into following categories:-


a. Helical rotor-used for dosing and transfer

b. Chemical dosing-beneficial for dosing of high accuracy

c. Peristaltic hose-for the movement of sensitive fluids and slurries

d. Diaphragm metering-accurate dosing

e. Air operated diaphragm - for movement and dosing of flammable ones

f. Chemical magnetic drive –mainly used for the transfer of corrosive chemicals and acids

g. Chemical drum – this light in weight device is beneficial for decantation and transfer from barrels, containers and drums.
