Side Channel Pumps

Side-Channel pumps sit in the void between a centrifugal pump and a positive displacement pump. Capable of low NPSH, these low-flow high-head pumps are available as a mechanically sealed unit or as a magnetically driven unit for volatile or toxic fluids. The modular design of the side channel pump there are thousands of custom variations available to you. Side-channel pumps are able to handle gas entrained fluids with up to 50% gas content; with a temperature range of -20° up to 120° as standard, modifications can be made to cover temperature ranges from -75° up to 220°. A wide variety of material options include casings manufactured in ductile iron, super duplex SS, stainless steel AISI 316 and Bronze with the addition of brass for the impeller and Hastelloy and Carbon fibre reinforced polymer containment shells on magnetically driven pumps. FEATURES: • Low NPSH to prevent cavitation • Self-priming • Able to handle gas entrained and vapour laden fluids • Modular design gives thousands of combinations • Magnetic drive and mechanical seal pumps available BENEFITS: • Low NPSH: Can operate with as little as 0.35m • Low flow: Ideally suited to low flow applications, as low as 0.4 m3/hr • High pressure: 8 to 9x higher pressure can be achieved compared to a centrifugal pump (up to 100 bar) • Suction lift: Self-priming suction lift of up to 8.5m • Low viscosity: These pumps can also handle lower viscosity compared to most pumps in the market today
