How Do Sump Pumps Work

What Is a Sump Pump? A sump pump is used in basements or crawlspaces to help keep the area dry and prevent it from flooding. Sump pumps are installed in specially constructed areas called sump pits. The typical sump pit measures between 15 and 18 inches across and around 2 feet deep. How Does a Sump Pump Work? When a sump pit fills with water, it reaches a set level on the pump, activating a switch and automatically turning on the sump pump. Most sump pumps use a centrifugal pump with an impeller to move water within the pit. As the impeller pushes the…

Vertical Slurry Pump VS Horizontal Slurry Pump

Slurry pump is a kind of centrifugal pump, used to transport the mixture of water and solid particles, such as slurry, ore, mud, etc. Slurry pump can be divided into vertical slurry pump and horizontal slurry pump. This article mainly talks about the characteristics, differences, advantages and disadvantages of vertical slurry pump and horizontal slurry pump. 1. Horizontal slurry pump Features Horizontal slurry pump adopts mechanical seal, most of the parts can be interchangeable, increasing the service life. Simple operation, easy maintenance; in addition, horizontal slurry pump operation noise is low, vibration is small; robust, long service life, spacious…

The Different Types of Sump Pumps

With summer comes beautiful weather, flowers, and of course rain; lots and lots of rain. Unfortunately, all this water has to go somewhere, and most times, it finds its way into your basement and causes a nightmare of flooding. With the proper sump pump, you can prevent this ordeal from occurring and save yourself thousands of dollars in repairs that come from flood damage. While it may seem so simple to just go out and buy the first one you see, we recommend taking some time and seeing what each model can offer. Whether you already have a sump…

Pumps for Low-maintenance Mining Sites

Are you constantly making Band-Aid fixes, or do you want to start converting your site to low-maintenance? When investing in new pumps and equipment, remember that the upfront cost is only 10% of the total investment. That’s why we understand the importance of choosing the perfect slurry pump, so at Longteng Machinery, we are committed to finding you the best solution for your site. We recommend peristaltic hose pumps and slurry pumps for low maintenance locations. Peristaltic hose pumps are low-maintenance because they have only one wearing part, the hose, while slurry pumps are highly wear-resistant, resulting in less…

What does it mean if your pump is self-priming?

Self-priming pumps are a specific type of liquid pump. They are designed for fluid movement and transfer which results in increased efficiencies in many pumping applications. Why consider a self-priming pump? Self-priming pumps can be mounted above the liquid source at ground level, therefore, less infrastructure and equipment is required during setup. Centrifugal, Helical Rotor and Magnetic Drive Pumps are self-priming, and multi-industry ready. DID YOU KNOW? These pumps are commonly used to encourage and raise liquids from a high to low level and can pump at high volumes or adjust their flow rates! How self-priming pumps work Self-priming pumps are specifically engineered centrifugal…

IMPORTANCE OF PUMP SERVICING

To maintain optimal pump performance for longer, it is important to service your pump regularly, and ensure it’s accessible for regular servicing including: removing sections of pipe work, maintaining sufficient cooling around the pump and having the required space for lifting equipment. Centrifugal pump installation: Centrifugal pumps may need spacer couplings. These couplings are essentially a cylindrical shaped coupling with a removable section, suitable for end suction back pull out pumps. These spacers allow enough space between the pumps mechanical seals when doing maintenance to avoid moving either the pump body or the driver. Essentially this means …  prior to installation,…
