Centrifugal Pumps

Keep liquids moving efficiently and reliably with centrifugal pumps designed for chemicals, fuels, oils, and other fluid transfer applications. 

York Fluid Controls supplies centrifugal pumps for industrial, commercial, and process applications across Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area. From dewatering and water transfer to chemical handling, sanitary processing, and solids management, we help customers match the pump to the fluid, operating conditions, and required performance.

What Is a Centrifugal Pump?

A centrifugal pump uses rotational energy to move liquid through a system. Fluid enters near the centre of a moving rotor, called an impeller, which pushes the liquid outward into the pump casing. That energy then converts to pressure, pushing the fluid through the discharge piping.

Centrifugal pumps are most often used in dewatering solutions to move fluids from a low level to a higher level. Depending on the pump design, they can also handle chemicals, fluids containing solids, and sanitary applications.

Types of Centrifugal Pumps We Supply

York Fluid Controls carries a wide range of centrifugal pump types and several configurations for industrial, chemical, and sanitary service. 

  • End-suction and straight centrifugal pumps for water transfer, circulation, and general industrial use.
  • Self-priming centrifugal pumps for dewatering, transfers, and installations where the pump must draw liquid into the suction line.
  • Chemical centrifugal pumps in materials such as stainless steel or polypropylene for corrosive fluids.
  • Magnetically coupled centrifugal pumps for applications where seal-less operation and reduced leakage risk are important.
  • Vertical and horizontal immersion pumps for transferring liquids from tanks, containers, and process vessels.
  • Sanitary centrifugal pumps for food, beverage, and hygienic process applications.
  • Solids-handling and trash pumps for wastewater, sewage, dewatering, and liquids containing suspended solids.
  • Submersible centrifugal pumps for pumping directly from sumps, pits, and other submerged applications.
  • High-head centrifugal pumps for applications requiring increased discharge pressure or greater elevation.

Our centrifugal pumps are available in cast iron, bronze, stainless steel, and engineered plastic depending on your usage and situational needs.

Centrifugal Pump Applications by Industry

York Fluid Controls supplies centrifugal pumps for various fluid-handling applications throughout Ontario, including:

  • Dewatering
  • Water transfer
  • Chemical transfer
  • Tank unloading
  • Washdown
  • Circulation
  • Wastewater handling
  • Sewage transfer
  • Sanitary processing
  • General process pumping

Our centrifugal pump products can be used in industries such as:

  • Manufacturing
  • Chemical processing
  • Food and beverage
  • Water and wastewater
  • Construction and dewatering
  • Commercial and institutional facilities
  • General industrial processing

     

Many applications for these pumps are unique. At York Fluid Controls, we consider the fluid being pumped, required flow, system pressure, temperature, solids content, and materials of construction before recommending a pump.

Centrifugal vs. Positive Displacement Pumps

A centrifugal pump uses a rotating impeller to create continuous flow. It is generally well suited to low- and moderate-viscosity liquids where flow can vary as system resistance changes.

A positive displacement pump moves a defined amount of liquid during each operating cycle. This can make it a better option for high-viscosity fluids, controlled transfer, metering, or applications requiring relatively consistent displacement.

Our experts can help determine which pump technology best suits your process based on industry standards, fluid, flow rate, pressure, and operating conditions.

How to Select a Centrifugal Pump

Selecting the right centrifugal pump involves more than matching pipe size or motor horsepower. It requires understanding the fluid being handled, the required flow and pressure, suction conditions, materials of construction, and how the pump will operate within the overall system.  

Important application factors to consider include:

  • Required flow rate
  • Total dynamic head
  • Suction conditions and available NPSH
  • Fluid temperature
  • Viscosity and specific gravity
  • Chemical compatibility
  • Solids content and particle size
  • Materials of construction
  • Seal requirements
  • Motor and power requirements
  • Connection size and type
  • Installation environment

York Fluid Controls can review these requirements with you and identify a centrifugal pump suited to your needs.
