A low-shear pump is designed to transfer fluids without causing significant damage to the physical properties of the fluid. This type of pump works by using a gentle, consistent pressure to move fluids through the system.

Peristaltic pumps and centrifugal pumps are two types of pumps that are commonly used in various industries. While both pumps have their own benefits, a peristaltic pump offers several advantages over a centrifugal pump. In this blog, we will explore some of the benefits of using a peristaltic pump compared to a centrifugal pump.

We are pleased to announce that we are now stocking Verderflex Ds500s, the newest addition to the green peristaltic pump family.

The Ds500 metering and dosing pump has been designed specifically for challenging traditional technological solutions t

Peristaltic pump hose life depends on how many times the hose is compressed, how hard it is squeezed, how hot it runs and what it is pumping. A peristaltic hose pump moves liquid by compressing a reinforced rubber hose with a rotor, which makes the hose the main wear part. Every hose eventually fails from fatigue. The causes below bring that point forward, and most of them sit in pump setup, o

When purchasing a new pumping system, or upgrading an existing one, often the main considerations is the upfront cost of the pump itself.  Although the capital cost only equals about 10% of the lifetime costs, there are other factors, such as spare parts, downtime, operational costs, and maintenance which are all important  variables to consider. 

When selecting an industrial pump, one of the most important factors to consider is the viscosity of the fluid being transferred.

Viscosity refers to a liquid’s resistance to flow caused by internal friction within the liquid. Simply put, the thicker the liquid, the higher the viscosity.

Do you continually do band-aid fixes, or do you want to start transitioning your site to being low maintenance?

When investing in new pumps and equipment, remember that the upfront cost is only 10% of the overall investment. Therefore, we understand the importance of choosing the perfect slurry pump, so here at Global Pumps we are committed to finding you the best solution for your site.

Vintage season is fast approaching, and here at Global Pumps we want to help you be prepared as possible. We understand the importance of delicate handling and gentle transfer required during vintage. We offer an extensive range of high-quality food grade pumps perfect for wineries, boutique winemakers, distilleries, and breweries.

To maintain optimal pump performance for longer, it is important to service your pump regularly, and ensure it's accessible for regular servicing including: removing sections of pipe work, maintaining sufficient cooling around the pump and having the required space for lifting equipment.

Throughout mining operations, slurry pumps are critical in the effective transport of slurry across the plant. Their running costs are a significant component of the total lifecycle costs, estimated to be around 32%. Therefore, any failure to your slurry pump can bring your project to a grinding halt.
