Self Priming Pumps
Meeting all your water pumping needs with advanced and efficient technology.
Self-Priming Pumps are pumps that do not require manual priming. Generally, standard pump installations require positioning the pump at the pipe connected to the bottom of a chemical tank. However, in cases where it is not possible to connect from the bottom, such as when dealing with earthen pits or concrete basins, the pump must be installed near the top opening of the pit or tank. In such installations, a Foot Valve must be used to retain water in the suction pipe at all times to avoid the need for re-priming. This setup can complicate the operation process.
Type of Self Priming Pump
PP (Polypropylene)
Polypropylene is a widely used plastic material for manufacturing Self-Priming Pump heads due to its special properties, making it suitable for handling various chemicals and liquids.
Properties
- Chemical resistance
- Lightweight
- Non-corrosive
- Suitable for a wide temperature range
- Cost-effective
Teflon (PTFE - Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Teflon is a material known for its exceptional chemical and high-temperature resistance, making it ideal for pump applications requiring durability against chemicals and corrosion.
Properties
- High resistance to chemicals and corrosion
- Withstands high temperatures
- Non-stick properties due to its smooth surface
- High durability against wear
- Non-toxic and safe for use
Applications of Self-Priming Pumps
Self-Priming Pumps are designed for systems requiring the suction of liquids from a source lower than the pump level or in situations where liquid loss and air ingress occur in the system. This makes them ideal for applications that demand automatic start-up and operation in environments where liquid or air loss is present.
Advantages of Self-Priming Pumps
-
No need to pre-fill with water or liquid:
The pump can start operating immediately without requiring water or liquid to be added beforehand. -
Handles liquid loss effectively:
Suitable for scenarios with liquid loss or air infiltration in the system. -
High flexibility:
Operates in various environments and with different types of liquids. -
Time-saving:
Eliminates the need to pre-fill, reducing start-up time.
Self-Priming Pumps are particularly suitable for applications involving liquid loss, air infiltration, or scenarios requiring the suction of liquids from sources lower than the pump. Their ability to operate without additional liquid makes them convenient and efficient for a wide range of applications.
