  A Guide to the Different Types of Industrial Pumps Industrial pumps play a role in a range of industries, facilitating the movement of diverse fluids for various purposes. They handle tasks like transferring water, managing chemicals, and dealing with thick slurries, ensuring smooth operations in different processes. Due to the nature of these tasks, there is no universal pump solution that fits all needs perfectly. Therefore, selecting the pump type tailored to your requirements is essential for optimal performance and cost efficiency. This blog will take an in-depth look at the classifications of pumps—positive displacement and dynamic pumps—discussing their functions, benefits, and ideal usage scenarios. We'll also examine IDEX Fluid Management Technologies (IDEX FMT), a supplier renowned for producing top-notch pumps recognised for their longevity and cutting-edge features. Exploring the Two Key Categories of Industrial Pumps 1. Positive displacement pumps Positive displaceme...

The High Pressure Homogenizer: A Comprehensive Guide High pressure homogenizers are tools used across industries to create consistent mixtures, break cells, and improve product stability. In this article, we explore the world of high pressure homogenizers, discussing their principles, applications, and prominent manufacturers like IDEX MPT and their range Microfluidics. What is High Pressure Homogenization? High-pressure homogenization is a procedure that employs pressure to produce a uniform mixture (homogenate) from components that do not naturally mix. It operates by pushing the mixture through a valve or orifice at pressures typically ranging from 500 to 3000 bar (7,250 to 43,500 psi). This forceful passage exposes the mixture to three phenomena: ·        Shear : The high speed generates shear forces that fragment particles into smaller, more consistent sizes. ·        Cavitation : The rapid drop in pressure inside t...

  Optimising Particle Size Distribution: The Role of Rotary Sifters Ensuring an accurate and uniform particle size distribution is essential for maintaining high-quality products and efficient operations. Whether its pharmaceuticals, food additives, chemicals, or other diverse applications, having the right particle sizes is the key to achieving results. This is where rotary sifters play an integral role. What is a Rotary Sifter? A rotary sifter, also referred to as a vibrating sifter, is a tool utilised for segregating particles based on their sizes. It comprises a rotating mesh screen with varying aperture sizes. When the material enters the sifter, the rotation and vibration allow smaller particles to pass through the mesh while larger ones are retained and eventually discharged through an exit point. Advantages of Rotary Sifters Over Alternative Screening Methods Efficiency: They can handle material quantities continuously with no interruptions. Precise Separation: The specific...

The Power of Pneumatic Air Pumps: Exploring Sandpiper's Efficient Solutions In the realm of industry, the importance of dependable fluid transfer cannot be overstated. This is where pneumatic air pumps play a role. These versatile tools provide an economical solution for applications. This article delves into the realm of air pumps, shedding light on their capabilities. It also explores the innovative solutions presented by Sandpiper Diaphragm Pumps , a prominent brand within IDEX. Understanding Pneumatic Air Pumps and Their Operation A pneumatic air pump, also referred to as a diaphragm pump, harnesses compressed air to facilitate suction and discharge. Unlike pumps that depend on impellers, diaphragm pumps utilise a flexible membrane that expands and contracts. Through this reciprocating movement, fluids are drawn into a chamber. Then it is expelled in a positive displacement flow. Let's break down the concept: Entry of Compressed Air: Compressed air is introduced into the a...
