Automatic pumps are a type of technology that makes everyday tasks easier. This machine transfers or raises fluids. Industrial and civil applications are drainage, sewage, and irrigation. Although there are many subcategories, there are only two main types of pumps: Positive-Displacement and Dynamic.

A dynamic pump converts a high liquid velocity into a flow passage that diffuses pressure. Although they are less efficient than the other types, they can still operate at high speeds and with very little upkeep when directly connected to steam turbines or electric motors.

The positive-displacement pump works by moving a measured amount of liquid from one end to the other. They are usually stronger and larger than dynamics and can produce an endless stream of pressure that allows fluid mobility. The centrifugal-type is the most simple to maintain due to its high volume, low cost, and efficient transfer of energy. You can check out various types of centrifugal slurry pumps on Schurco Slurry.

Axial flow pumps, also known as propeller pumps, have vanes that cause pressure by lifting the liquid. They are often used for low-pressure irrigation, stormwater expulsion, and wet pit drainage. They are usually operated in a single stage, but two-stage versions are more practical and cost-effective.

Two subcategories of Dynamic Pumps serve very different purposes. The centrifugal pump, which accounts for eighty percent of the global production, is the most widely used type. It consists of an impeller as well as an intake system.

The impeller's rotation pulls liquid inside its housing by centrifugal force. This helps reduce the speed at which fluid exits the chamber. It is then converted to the required pressure for discharge by changing its velocity.

Four types of pumps are included in the Positive-Displacement category: metering, reciprocating, rotary, and mono. Reciprocal pumps are often used to remove slurry and sludge from the water. They draw a controlled amount of liquid through the suction cylinder into the intake cylinder and then release it through the discharge channel with positive pressure.
