These two Thomas Pump self-priming centrifugal pump skids were built for pumping wastewater out of sumps at a large device manufacturing facility. The larger 3″ T-PRIME self-priming pump is designed for 350 GPM and powered by a 20 HP WEG motor. The second pump is a 2″ T-PRIME self-priming pump designed for 50 GPM and […]
Centrifugal pumps are not only the most common pumps used in industrial settings, but they are the most common pump used worldwide. There are several different types of centrifugal pumps, but generally they operate similarly with the ability to handle high flows and pressures. Operating these often large and powerful pumps of course comes with […]
Properly sizing a pump to specific application requirements is a complicated process. It accounts for many factors including fluid type, elevation changes, length/diameter of pipe, number of joints or bends, and requires some complex equations usually left to system engineers. If you already have a good idea of your flow and pressure requirements, however, pump […]
This uniquely orientated pump skid pictured below was designed to solve a couple of issues for a company transferring chemical solvents. Anderson Process mounted this Blackmer Pump on its side with a custom bracket built in-house, which allowed the pump suction to be at the top. This aided with its ability to drain as the […]
Precise control mixing of materials can be a challenging feat. Understanding the chemical compatibility and how the liquid properties will react, blend, and change must be closely monitored. Pictured below are several different pumps and a control system we set up for a customer who needed to meter three liquids: propylene glycol, ethanol, and water […]
One of the many reasons mechanical seals may need extra lubrication, include the high viscosity in certain fluids These pumps and mechanical seals may require the circulation of a clean fluid from an external seal flush. This process lubricates the inner and outer seal faces which separates the pumped fluid from entering the stationary housing […]
THE MOST COMMON TYPE OF PUMP USED FOR TRANSFER OF FLUIDS Centrifugal process pumps are one of the most common pump types used in industrial processing applications because they’re engineered to be low-maintenance, easy to operate and highly efficient. The fact that centrifugal pumps are the most popular choice for fluid movement makes them a […]
WHAT IS PUMP CAVITATION Cavitation is not a new phenomenon that impacts a pump system, but it is an issue that occurs far too often. It occurs when air bubbles are generated inside a pump because of the partial pressure drop of the flowing liquid, resulting in a tiny air bubble. The air bubbles move, […]
Anderson Process offers a comprehensive line of centrifugal and positive displacement pumps to provide pump systems that deliver reliable performance in demanding applications. Although the basic structure and operation of pumping systems hasn’t changed much over the years, industrial pumps remain a sophisticated piece of machinery, each with its own ideal operating conditions and application. […]
Here we helped a customer build a series of chemical treatment recirculating skids that heated and filtered the chemical before it was sent off to the process. The overall system was designed for 75 GPM at 40 PSI. We utilized a Goulds 3756 centrifugal pump, Standard Xchange Plate & Frame heat exchanger, Eaton Filters, Dixon […]
Here are four of seven Gusher 7550 Centrifugal pumps with WEG motors that we shipped to one of our customers. These pumps were designed for a water-based fluid, but the key here is the length of these pumps. They were custom-made to be +84” in length because of a deep tank they were designed to […]
We just finished a complete overhaul repair of a Pioneer Vacuum prime assist centrifugal pump, this was one in a series of pumps getting re-built. The Prime Series from Pioneer are ideal in situations where you can leave the pump unattended in order to self-prime itself in remote locations. Examples of this are in agriculture fields, […]
We just finished a production of “16” Blackmer Sliding Vane Pump assemblies that were designed and built for a manufacturer of automotive chemicals. Vane pumps can be used in transfer applications or used as the main process pump within the manufacturing of a product. Due to their self-adjusting design, self-priming and line-stripping properties, they help […]
