Key Differences Between Magnetic Drive Pumps, Centrifugal Pumps, Process Pumps, and Axial Flow Pumps​​

Anhui Shengshi Datang possesses mature design technology and manufacturing capabilities, providing customers with professional technical support and services to create high-performance, reliable equipment of exceptional quality.

When selecting industrial pumps for fluid transfer applications, understanding the differences between magnetic drive pumps, centrifugal pumps, chemical process pumps, and axial flow pumps is crucial. Magnetic drive pumps use non-contact magnetic coupling to eliminate leaks completely, making them ideal for hazardous, toxic, or corrosive fluids—though they have slightly lower efficiency. Centrifugal pumps are simple, reliable, and cost-effective, best suited for medium-to-high flow rates with low-to-medium head pressure in water supply and HVAC systems. Chemical process pumps are engineered for harsh environments, featuring corrosion-resistant materials to handle acids, alkalis, and high-temperature fluids with superior sealing. Axial flow pumps specialize in high-volume, low-pressure applications like flood control, irrigation, and cooling water circulation.

For optimal performance, consider fluid properties, flow requirements, and sealing needs: choose magnetic pumps for leak-proof operation, centrifugal pumps for general water transfer, process pumps for aggressive chemicals, and axial pumps for large-scale liquid movement. This guide helps ensure safe, efficient, and cost-effective pump selection.

Applications of Chemical Pumps

Here is an introduction to the application of chemical pumps. For further details or quotations regarding magnetic drive pumps and centrifugal pumps, please contact Anhui Shengshi Datang.

Chemical pumps are designed to remove crematory liquids from bottles, barrels, tanks or other containers and are widely used in industries such as chemical processing, petroleum, metallurgy, light industry, synthetic fibers, environmental protection, food and pharmaceutical products. These pumps play a crucial role, due to their stable performance, reliable seals, aesthetic design and easy maintenance, to improve product quality, minimize leakage, prevent pollution and improve environmental conditions. They are suitable for the transport of crematory or highly reactive media at different temperatures in sectors such as power plants, pharmaceuticals and the production of synthetic fibres.

Different types of glass fiber chemical pumps are available, such as corrosion resistant pumps, high temperature pumps, standard chemical process pumps and magnetic drive pumps. Chemical pumps are also widespread in water supply, heating, air conditioning, cooling and operating systems, fire protection, irrigation and rainwater. They are ideal for residential, industrial, horticultural and agricultural applications, especially for increasing pressure in environments with lower noise and piping, even corrosive, explosive or particulate.

As a trusted lobe pump manufacturer, we understand that efficiency, reliability, and product integrity are non-negotiable for your operations. Whether you’re in food & beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, or wastewater treatment, our (BONVE) lobe pumps are engineered to address critical pain points while delivering standout performance. Here’s how they make a difference:

Core Advantages of Our Rotary Lobe Pumps

Gentle, Non-Destructive Fluid Handling

Unlike centrifugal or gear pumps that can shear, agitate, or damage sensitive fluids, Bonve lobe pumps use two non-contact lobes to create a smooth, low-pulse flow. This design preserves the integrity offragile media—think yogurt with fruit pieces, pharmaceutical slurries, or viscous creams. No more broken particles, separated emulsions, or compromised product quality.

Versatility Across Fluids and Viscosities

From thin liquids (like water or oils) to highly viscous materials (such as adhesives, pastes, or sludge) and even fluids with solids (e.g., wastewater with debris or food batters with chunks), our pumps handle it all. They adapt to varying viscosities without losing efficiency, eliminating the need for multiple pump types in your facility.

Self-Priming and Dry-Run Capable

Bonve lobe pumps excel at self-priming, meaning they can start pumping from a dry state and pull fluid from below-tank levels—no manual priming required. They’re also designed to withstand short dry runs without damage, reducing the risk of breakdowns if lines run empty unexpectedly.

Easy Maintenance and Hygienic Design

For industries like food and pharmaceuticals, hygiene is critical. Our pumps feature aclean-in-place (CIP)andsterilize-in-place (SIP)compatible design, with smooth surfaces, minimal dead zones, and quick-disconnect components. This cuts down on cleaning time, reduces downtime, and ensures compliance with strict regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, EU 10/2011).

Consistent Performance Under Pressure

When it comes to livestock production, the health of the animals themselves, and the environmental problems of the sheds must be of the greatest concern. Many owners of animal husbandry are very surprised: "The same livestock, the same shed, the same feed, why our livestock morbidity is higher than others, production capacity is not as good as others?"

And next, Let us see what are the main reasons? And how to solve them.

 Livestock temperature 

The enclosure of the shed is better. This ensures the stability of the whole house environment. It will also be due to poor ventilation, leading to the heat in the house is not easy to emit, and then the temperature in the house is too high. Poor closure of the shed, ventilation is very good, but the winter temperature is low, will also lead to the house temperature is too low. The house temperature is too high or too low, will seriously affect the performance of livestock production.

The air humidity in the house is too high, the airflow speed is too fast, and the illumination is too little, which will lead to the temperature reduction. In turn, the air temperature is also too high, which reduces the productivity of livestock.

 Dust and microbes 

Due to the excretion of livestock itself, it will lead to the breeding of microorganisms, dust and bacteria. If the air circulation in the house is poor, microbes, dust, bacteria continue to accumulate, it will affect the health of livestock. Such as foot and mouth disease, influenza, panting and so on. This leads directly to reduced productivity and even death of livestock.

 Harmful gas 

Livestock respiration, excretion and decomposition of organic matter will lead to the appearance of harmful gases. Therefore, there is a great difference in the composition of the air inside and outside the house. Excessive accumulation of harmful gases can also directly affect the health of livestock, resulting in reduced productivity, and even death.

 Now that we know these reasons, how can we solve the above problems?

Because the main thing is to improve the air environment in the shed, it is necessary to install ventilation system in the barn, in order to stabilize the air temperature in the barn. Through stable airflow, dust, microbes, bacteria and toxic gases will be brought out of the house, and fresh air outside the house will be introduced to balance the air quality inside the house.

Taking the pig farm as an example, we put forward the following ventilation methods to improve the air environment and the production capacity of the pig farm by combining various elements such as the season, the difference between male and female pigs and the actual pig farm environment:

 Negative pressure ventilation filtration 

Negative pressure ventilation is to install the main filter wall at the front end of the cooling water curtain, and install the ceiling filter box on the ceiling ventilation window.

In winter, fresh air enters the ceiling through the top ventilation window, filters through the ceiling filtration system and enters the pigsty, and exhaust gas is discharged by the fan.

In summer, fresh air enters the barn only after being filtered by the main filter wall, and exhaust gas is discharged by the fan. There is negative pressure inside the piggery.

◆The negative pressure ventilation filter requires large area, low replacement frequency, low ventilation energy consumption, and strong regional applicability.

 Positive pressure ventilation filtration 

The main filtration wall is installed in the filtration room. The positive pressure fan is installed in front of the main filter wall. Fresh air enters through the filter screen and enters the main filter wall under the action of the fan.

In winter, the filtered air enters the ceiling through the ceiling ventilation window and enters the pigsty through the ceiling small window.

In summer, the filtered air passes through a wet curtain and enters the piggery. Exhaust gases are removed by shutters and the air pressure inside the house is higher than outside.

◆ There is less risk of unfiltered air entering the house, which is the advantage of positive pressure ventilation. But higher fan power is the guarantee of reliable operation of positive pressure ventilation. The selected fan must be able to provide sufficient air volume under high static pressure difference.

 Balanced ventilation or micro-positive pressure ventilation 

Neutral ventilation is between negative pressure ventilation and positive pressure ventilation, and generally adopts a partial positive pressure way. Mainly used in boar station. Neutral ventilation combines the advantages of positive pressure ventilation and negative pressure ventilation. The front end is positive pressure inlet air and the back end is negative pressure exhaust air, forming an orderly ventilation flow direction. But relatively speaking, the investment is higher, the operating cost is better.

So, how to choose the appropriate filtration ventilation scheme?

◆ The choice of filtration ventilation scheme depends on the air cleanliness level L6 or L9 of the pig farm and the location of the pig farm;

Positive pressure ventilation filtration is the best choice for boar station and SPF breeding farm.Positive pressure ventilation filtration is the best choice for boar station and SPF breeding farm.

The negative pressure ventilation filtration design is recommended for thermal emergency sensitive areas and pig breeds. Ensure good ventilation effect and low energy consumption to meet the actual production needs.

 There are the following points to pay attention to in the use of air filtration system: 

1) Before the piggery air filtration system is put into use, it is necessary to test the air tightness of the piggery, the installation of the filter and the airflow pattern in winter and summer to ensure the operation effect of the system.

2) If the system of the unit is not used, there should be detailed operation guidance for filter replacement.

3) When to replace the filter is also an issue we need to consider. The best scheme is to decide whether to replace the filter according to the pressure transformation of each layer (positive pressure air filter unit can be realized). However, many systems do not test the static pressure difference, and filters can be used to change according to the cycle.

In air conditioning systems for cleanrooms and other high-cleanliness environments, fan filter units (FFUs) are one of the core devices for achieving air cleanliness control. FFUs ensure the purity and uniform distribution of indoor air through their efficient air filtration capabilities and stable airflow organization, and work together with dry coils (DCs) and other components to maintain the environmental conditions of cleanrooms.

 High-efficiency air filtration and airflow organization 

FFUs have built-in high-efficiency filters that can remove particles in the air, including dust, bacteria, and viruses, to ensure that the air delivered to the cleanroom meets high cleanliness standards.

At the same time, FFUs form stable vertical laminar or turbulent airflow organizations through the operation of their built-in fans to avoid local contamination. This stable airflow organization is essential for maintaining the cleanliness of cleanrooms, especially in the semiconductor manufacturing and biopharmaceutical fields where cleanliness requirements are extremely high.

 Collaborative work and application scenarios 

In dry coil systems, FFUs work together with dry coils (DCs) and other components (such as fresh air units MAUs). MAU is responsible for introducing and processing outdoor fresh air, removing particulate matter through primary and medium efficiency filtration, and processing the fresh air to the specified temperature and humidity.

The fresh air treated by MAU is mixed with part of the return air, filtered by FFU and sent to the clean room. After the indoor air is cooled or heated by the dry coil, it is circulated to the return air channel again and mixed with the supplementary fresh air to form a closed-loop air circulation system.

FFU runs continuously to maintain the number of air cycles and ensure the cleanliness of the indoor air; the dry coil adjusts the cold water flow or temperature according to the temperature sensor, and only processes the sensible heat load to avoid mutual interference in temperature and humidity control. This design with clear division of labor improves the overall performance and reliability of the system.

Among the many FFU products, KLC FFU is an excellent choice in the market with its excellent performance and flexible design. KLC FFU uses high-efficiency filters with KLC's exclusive technology, which can achieve high-efficiency air filtration and ensure high cleanliness of indoor air.

Its compact design is easy to install and maintain, and it has the characteristics of low noise and high energy efficiency, which can meet the requirements of different cleanliness levels.

KLC FFU also has flexible installation methods and intelligent control options, which can realize single-unit manual control or multi-unit group monitoring, and can adapt to the needs of clean room applications from small to large scale.

KLC FFU performs well in practical applications, especially in the fields of semiconductor manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals and precision electronic assembly, providing users with efficient and reliable air purification solutions. Its efficient filtering performance and stable airflow organization ability can effectively prevent condensed water from contaminating wafers, ensure the sterile environment of drug production, and ensure the accuracy and stability of the equipment.

KLC FFU's low noise operation and high energy efficiency design also make it perform well in clean rooms with strict environmental requirements, providing users with an ideal air filtration option.

As the core air filtration equipment in the dry coil system, FFU provides a reliable solution for high-cleanliness environments such as clean rooms through its efficient filtering capacity and stable airflow organization. Its collaborative work with dry coils and other components further optimizes the performance and reliability of the system.

In the fields of semiconductor manufacturing, biopharmaceuticals and precision electronic assembly, FFU has become a key equipment for maintaining a high-cleanliness environment to ensure the efficient and stable operation of the production process.

High-efficiency air outlets are ideal terminal filtration devices, widely used in medicine, health, electronics, chemicals and other industries. In order to verify whether the clean room can meet the cleanliness requirements, it is necessary to test the clean room and high-efficiency air outlets, so its detection is very important.

 How to measure the air volume of high-efficiency air outlets: 

1. You can use the air volume hood to directly aim at the nozzle for one-time measurement, direct measurement. Since your nozzle has many small holes (to make the air volume uniform) and there is a grille, then your anemometer can be kept 3-5 cm away from the nozzle. If you have a thermal anemometer, try to face the gap instead of the grille, and measure the average value by the grid method. The same cross-section can be measured.

2. You can measure at multiple points at a distance of 2 times the width of the diffuser from the air outlet. The measuring points should be like a grid and then the wind speed is averaged. The sizes of these vents are similar. Use tinplate or even plastic board to make a barrel that is slightly larger than the cross-section of the air outlet. When measuring, cover the barrel on the air outlet and use the anemometer to measure the nozzle of the barrel at multiple points and then calculate the average value.

3. Through the clean air conditioning circulation fan, through the high-efficiency air filter, medium-efficiency filter, and primary air filter, clean air can be obtained. The cleanliness is different and the wind flow direction is different. Of course, it is also necessary to supplement some fresh air through the fresh air outlet, otherwise people will feel stuffy inside.

 Air volume measurement of high-efficiency air outlet: 

1. The detection method of high-efficiency air outlet uses active sampling and passive sampling. Active sampling uses filtering method and impact method. Filtration method allows a certain amount of air to pass through an analytical filter.

2. The impact method can use Anderson sampler, Lute centrifugal sampler, and slit sampler. Passive sampling uses the landing method. Use the principle of diffusion of the open agar plate of suspended particles.

3. Of course, with the development of science and technology today, some more sophisticated detection instruments can also be used to quickly detect it.
