If your processing company needs pumping equipment, you cannot afford to settle for inexpensive pumps which may not last long nor give you the kind of performance you need. Positive displacement Fristam pumps provide many benefits to the processing industry. Here are some of the advantages of owning this kind of equipment.
What is Positive Displacement?
Positive displacement Fristam pumps work on one of two design principles:
Rotary – spinning motion
Reciprocating – back and forth motion
Fluid enters the suction side of the pump (expanding cavity) and exits on the discharge side (decreasing cavity). The suction side of the pump expands as fluid enters, and the fluid flows into the discharge side as it collapses. This creates an even flow of fluid without any gaps. This type of pump delivers a smooth and constant flow of liquids within a system.
Viscosity Issues
Not all processing businesses need to pump standard liquids. In fact, some use viscous liquids like syrup or other materials. Positive displacement Fristam pumps are perfect for a wide range of fluid thicknesses. The design can handle high viscosity.
Some liquids are as thin as water. Positive displacement pumps work well for these liquids too. They can handle changing viscosities (when thick liquids become thin with heat). They are great for all around viscosity issues.
Shear Sensitive Liquids
Some liquids are a combination of many materials, and all liquids create some friction within but some more than others. If you need droplets of fat or oil to stay intact, positive displacement pumps are the right choice. Standard pumps may break up these droplets and ruin the process.
Pumping Solids
Waste treatment facilities often need to pump solids along with liquids. Standard pumps tend to jam or clog under these circumstances. Positive displacement pumps are the right choice for the job.
