Pumps - Iwaki America
Industrial pumps move liquids from one place to another, whether you’re handling water, chemicals, or thick, heavy fluids. Most pumps fall into one of two main categories: positive-displacement pumps and cen...
Sealless magnetic drive pumps transfer fluids without a mechanical seal, so there are no leaks. A magnetic coupling transmits torque through a sealed containment shell, keeping hazardous fluids fully contained.
Mag-Drive Pump Types
- Metallic centrifugal – stainless and alloy for higher pressures
- Non-metallic centrifugal – plastic and lined for corrosive chemicals
- Metallic and non-metallic gear pumps – precise transfer and metering
Choosing a Pump
Provide fluid, flow, head, temperature, viscosity and specific gravity. Protect against dry running with power monitors. Avoid large solids unless the pump is designed for them.
Centro supplies sealless mag-drive pumps for leak-free chemical handling.

Metering pumps inject precise amounts of chemicals into water treatment, cleaning, food, oil and gas, and industrial processes. Accurate dosing controls costs and keeps product and water quality consistent.
Metering Pump Types
- Solenoid driven metering pumps – compact, low-flow dosing
- Motor driven metering pumps – higher flows and pressures
- Pneumatic metering pumps – hazardous and off-grid locations
Choosing a Metering Pump
Provide flow, pressure, chemical type, viscosity and control method. Choose compatible wetted materials and accessories like foot valves, injection valves, back pressure valves and calibration columns.
Centro supplies metering pumps and accessories for chemical feed systems.

- Flow (GPM) + total dynamic head (TDH), fluid details (chemistry, temp, solids/viscosity), suction conditions (NPSHa), desired materials, seal type, driver/voltage, connection sizes, and duty cycle.
- The total head the pump must overcome: static lift + discharge head + pressure requirements + friction losses in pipe/fittings/valves/filters, adjusted for fluid density.
- Centrifugal for higher flow/low–moderate viscosity and smoother operation; positive displacement for high viscosity, accurate metering, higher pressures, or when flow must stay steady as pressure changes.
- ANSI process pumps are for clean/process fluids and standard chemical-duty applications; self-priming trash pumps are built to handle air entrainment and larger solids for dewatering/wastewater.
- Match wetted materials to the fluid chemistry, temperature, and abrasiveness (e.g., 316 SS for corrosion resistance; ductile iron for general service; hardened materials/coatings for abrasion).
- Often yes on the discharge side to control flow (within limits), but avoid deadheading too long (heat buildup); never throttle suction, use a valve only for isolation.
- VFD speed control is usually most efficient; throttling works but wastes energy; bypass recirculation may be needed to maintain minimum flow.
- Use viscosity-corrected curves or consider positive displacement; expect reduced flow/increased power and ensure suction piping supports high-viscosity feeding.
- Define solids size, concentration, hardness, and shape; choose solids-handling hydraulics, slower speeds, abrasion-resistant materials, and appropriate clearances.
- Select compatible metallurgy/coatings, control pH/chemistry, reduce velocity in corrosive service, manage solids, and use wear parts designed for abrasion.
- Alignment, lubrication, seal support/flush checks, strainer cleaning, vibration/temperature monitoring, and verifying operation near BEP and above minimum flow.
- Best Efficiency Point is where the pump runs most efficiently with lowest vibration; aim to operate near BEP to improve seal/bearing life and reduce energy cost.
