Cantilever Pump
Cantilever
pumps are kind of centrifugal pumps commonly used in sump pump
applications. They are available both in horizontal and vertical
configurations, and there are many styles that include submersible
motors as well. They are frequently used in slurry and solids handling
applications.
Uses and Features of Cantilever Pump:
- Cantilever pumps are available in a wide range of construction
materials and sizes.
- These pumps offer a number of advantages specific for use in
watery or other liquid-filled environments.
- Cantilever pumps have no submerged seals, bearings, bushings, or
suction check valves.
- Many varieties of cantilever pumps are designed with additional
features which allow a long service life in demanding conditions.
- There are some cantilever pump which employ a shaft-mounted
agitator to stir settled solids, helping to maintain a clean and
maintenance free sump.
- There are some other type of cantilever pumps which are designed
to operate continuously, even when dry, without wearing out.
- There are also a variety of material options for corrosion and
abrasion resistance.
- Cantilever pumps are available with a number of different
impeller types, which change the nature of the flow through the
pump.
Applications of Cantilever Pump:
Cantilever Pumps are widely used in sump pump applications. Apart from
this, cantilever pumps are widely used in other industrial applications
where liquids or slurries are passed and processed. They can be found in
the following applications:
- Chemical Processing Plants
- Waste Treatment Facilities
- Food Processing
- Paper and Pulp Making
- Steel and Other Metal Processing
- Mining
- Power Generation
- Industrial and Municipal Wastewater
- Oil
- Petrochemical Industry etc.
