Fountain pumps are designed to supply flow to fountains, devices used for aesthetic purposes and aeration in residential, commercial, and industrial applications

---

Fuel dispensing equipment dispenses and monitors all types of liquid and gaseous fuel.

---

Gear pumps use intermeshing gears to pump various types of liquids. Typically, one gear is the driver and the other is free wheeling. The gears have very tight tolerances so that the fluid being pumped cannot pass through them. Common uses for gear pumps include high pressure, metering, and flow control applications.

---

Grinder pumps are centrifugal pumps equipped with shredding systems to aid in the transport of solids filled media.

---

Hand pumps and foot pumps are manually operated pumps that can driven by hand or foot via a handle or lever. 

---

Hydraulic pumps deliver high-pressure fluid flow to the pump outlet. Hydraulic pumps are powered by mechanical energy sources to pressurize fluid.

---

Impellers are rotating devices that force liquids, gases and vapors in a desired direction. They are widely used in pumping, blowing, and mixing applications.

---

Injection pumps are designed to inject measured amounts of fluid into a reservoir or production system.

---

Jet pumps are typically used for drawing water up from a well. These pumps can be used for either shallow or deep well configurations. 

---

Lift stations contain pumps, valves, and electrical equipment necessary to pump water or wastewater from a low elevation to a high elevation.

---

Industrial liquid handling pumps are classified in many different ways, and are distinguished by the media pumped and the fluid motive mechanism (dynamic or displacement).

---

Magnetic drive pumps are sealless pumps that use a coaxial magnetic coupling to transmit torque to an impeller. A standard electric motor drives a set of permanent magnets that are mounted on a carrier or drive assembly.

---

Mechanical vacuum pumps and systems contain devices such as pistons, claws, scrolling spirals, and diaphragms to isolate and compress air.

---

Metering pumps are positive displacement pumps designed to dispense precise amounts of fluids and measured flow control.

---

Mud pumps are large, reciprocating pumps that are used to circulate the mud on a drilling rig. A typical mud pump is a double- or triple-acting, two- or three-cylinder piston pump whose pistons travel in replaceable liners and are driven by a crankshaft.

---

Peristaltic pumps use rotating rollers pressed against special flexible tubing to create a pressurized flow.

---

Piston pumps and plunger pumps are reciprocating positive displacement pumps that use a plunger or piston to move media through a cylindrical chamber.

---

Plastic pumps are designed to move fluids that would corrode or damage other types of pumps. They provide broad chemical resistance and are less costly and lighter in weight than metal pumps.

---

Positive displacement pumps use a mechanical force such as gears, bladders, pistons, plungers or diaphragms to push liquid through and out of the pump.

---

Progressing cavity pumps are a type of rotary positive displacement pump designed to transfer fluid or media with suspended solids or slurries from the suction side of the pump to the discharge side of the pump, from storage tanks or through pipelines. 

---

Rotary lobe pumps are positive displacement (PD) pumps that use rotating lobes to direct flow.

---

Rotary vane vacuum pumps and systems move media through the pump using a rotating assembly in the pumping chamber. Typically, there are two or more rotating vanes that move the media from inlet to outlet. Rotary vane vacuum pumps are positive displacement pumps.

---

Sampling pumps are used to monitor liquids, air, and gases. They are usually portable and developed for specific tasks.

---

Sanitary pumps are used to transport and meter solutions, slurries, and colloids of food and agricultural materials in operations such as food processing that require cleanliness. There are four basic types of sanitary pumps: centrifugal, positive displacement, jet, and airlift.

---

Screw pumps are rotary, positive displacement pumps that have one or more screws to transfer fluids or materials along an axis. 

---

Self-priming pumps create and maintain a sufficient vacuum level to draw fluid with no external assistance

---

Sewage pumps are used to pump effluents, semi-solids and small solids in liquids.

---

Slurry pumps increases the pressure of a liquid and solid particle mixture (slurry) to create flow.

---

Submersible pumps can be mounted into a tank with the liquid media. The pump’s motor is normally sealed in an oil filled cavity that is protected from contact with the liquid.

---

Sump pumps are used in applications where excess water must be pumped away from a particular area. Sump pumps generally sit in a basin or sump that collects this excess water.

---

Infusion or withdrawal syringe pumps provide high pressure and high accuracy for applications such as high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).  Used to deliver precise amounts of fluid at specific time intervals.

---

Trash pumps are designed to pump large amounts of water that contains hard and soft solids such as mud, leaves, twigs, sand, and sludge. Most devices are portable, heavy-duty centrifugal pumps that feature deeper impeller vanes and larger discharge openings than other pumps.

---

Triplex pumps are positive displacement, reciprocating pumps that are configured with three plungers. Triplex pumps are the most commonly used pump configuration for drilling and well service operations.

---

Turbine pumps are centrifugal pumps that use pressure in combination with a rotary mechanism to transfer fluid.  They typically employ blade geometry, which causes fluid circulation around the vanes to add pressure from inlet to outlet. 

---

Utility pumps are used in many applications such as dewatering low-lying areas, pool covers, and sumps. They are not designed for continuous use.  

---

Vacuum pumps and vacuum generators provide sub-atmospheric pressure for a variety of industrial and scientific applications where a vacuum is required.
