Industrial pumps for demanding process applications

We help East African industrial operators specify and source pumps that match real process conditions — hydraulics, materials and seals selected for the fluid, not just the flow rate.

ISOANSIAPIENEHEDGATEX

How we specify

Duty first. Hardware second.

Medium, flow, head, temperature, and how the line is operated. Then a shortlist across partners. Not a single-catalogue story.

Family specifications

Standards, typical duty, materials and supply dims for each family — the detail behind the range above. Not sure on size? Run the duty through the pump duty calculator. Wetted materials follow the chemical compatibility worksheet. Full datasheets on request.

Centrifugal process pump

Transfer & pressure

Centrifugal process

Back-pull-out workhorse for continuous transfer.

ISO 2858ISO 5199ANSI/ASME B73.1

Application

Water transfer, chemical processing, cooling circuits, general industry.

Advantage

Wide hydraulic coverage; serviceable without disturbing pipework (back-pull-out).

Typical duty

Q–H sized to the line — low-viscosity fluids and continuous transfer.

Materials

Cast iron to 316SS / CF8M and duplex for corrosive duty.

Frequently paired withIndustrial valves — isolation and check valves around pump skids

Positive displacement pump for viscous fluids

Viscous transfer

Positive displacement

Constant flow when viscosity and pressure change.

API 676EHEDG / 3-A

Application

Heavy fuel oil, molasses, food pastes, sludge, tank-farm transfer.

Advantage

Gentle, shear-sensitive handling; jacketed casings and CIP/SIP hygienic options.

Typical duty

Constant Q against rising viscosity — lobe and internal gear.

Materials

Stainless and hygienic elastomers per medium; food-grade options.

Submersible borehole pump

Solids handling

Submersible & slurry

Built for abrasive solids, not just water.

ISO 9906ATEX options

Application

Mine dewatering, quarry sumps, tailings transfer, construction, wastewater.

Advantage

High-chrome impellers and generous solids passage for abrasive media.

Typical duty

Submerged or slurry transfer — solids size and concentration drive selection.

Materials

High-chrome / wear-resistant wet ends; ATEX builds where required.

Dosing & metering

Repeatable injection across the turndown range.

API 675

Application

Water treatment dosing, chemical injection packages, CIP chemical feed.

Advantage

Accurate, adjustable flow with straightforward capacity / turndown control.

Typical duty

Low Q, controlled dosing — accuracy held across turndown.

Materials

Wetted parts matched to the dosing medium (check chemical tool).

Materials & sealing

From family to line-ready specification

Once the family is clear, selection tightens to the wetted path and how the shaft is sealed — not a steel grade until medium, temperature, and abrasives are in.

Flange connections

EN 1092 & ANSI Class

Suction and discharge flanges match the line — EN or ANSI. DN + PN / Class travel with the duty. Sized from the hydraulic duty, not copied from the pipe by default.
