How to Calculate the Total Cost of Pump Ownership, and Why It Matters
We all know that industrial pump equipment is not cheap. You have to buy it. You have to configure and install it properly. You have to maintain it. You have to repair it if and when it breaks down. And, of course, you have to pay for its operation, whether it uses electricity or burns […]
Low Pulsation is Just One Advantage of SEEPEX Progressive Cavity Pumps
Pulsation is a common issue in many pumps. It’s the reason pulsation dampeners exist for a variety of different pump styles. Pulsation happens when the pressure inside one part of the pump (usually the inlet side) is greater than in the other side (usually the outlet side). This leads to a pulsing flow that creates […]

The Differences Between Horizontal and Vertical Centrifugal Pumps
Centrifugal pumps are found in many industrial applications. They provide excellent operational efficiency and versatility when it comes to pressures and liquid flows. Inline centrifugal pumps will come in to distinct configurations: horizontal and vertical. What are the differences between the two inline styles of centrifugal pumps? And, which one is right for your […]
4 Drivers of Pump Bearing Longevity
Proactive maintenance is so important when it comes to minimizing downtime and extending the lifespan of your pump equipment. One of the most common sources of pump problems is the pump bearing. If the bearing assembly is damaged, deteriorated or not operating properly, it will lead to excessive heat and vibration. This leads to equipment […]
Why Use a Self-Priming Pump?
Self-priming pumps offer certain advantages over standard centrifugal pumps that require manual priming. The biggest difference is obviously that they prime themselves without the need for outside attention. Not only does this make self-priming pumps more efficient than alternative designs, it also provides additional benefits that are useful in many industrial applications. How Self-Priming […]
