Piston pumps
With reliable piston pumps from Alflow, you get a user-friendly design that can handle tough tasks in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industries. Our piston pumps utilise a very gentle pumping technology. They can pump both very thin and very thick liquids and handle both larger and smaller particles. Contact one of our specialists if you need help or advice on piston pumps.
What is a piston pump?
A piston pump that is a Positive displacement pump, is a specific type of pump that is used to pump air, liquid or a combination of the two using its cylinders. When the pump is running, the cylinders force air or liquid into a reserve or storage tank. The pumps are powered by compressed air, hydraulics or water pressure.
Why use a piston pump?
The obvious advantage of this design is that the pump recovers air extremely quickly. The piston pump is also often made of cast iron and is among the most durable pumps you can find. This means you can use a piston pump to gently pump media with both thick and thin liquids.
The design of the machine allows solids to flow freely without clogging the system. You'll therefore see it used especially for dosing or moving high-viscosity or high-density media, for example.
However, be aware that if the media is hard on the pump's parts or contains abrasive particles, it can have a major impact on the life of the pump. Fortunately, we can help with that. As a B2B company, we at Alflow only choose tough materials such as stainless steel to ensure your pumps have the longest possible lifespan.
