Types of Pumps at JM Industrial

At, JM Industrial, you can buy pumps of various capacities, and useful across applications. You can also sell used pumps in good condition.

• Centrifugal pumps: These pumps work on rotational energy they get from impellers or rotors. The fluid is pulled in with the help of the vigorously rotating impeller and is transferred out with the help of centrifugal force. While this is the basic principle, they are available in various capacities in HP, and are mostly made of stainless steel.
• Hydraulic pumps: These pumps operate when mechanical energy is converted into electrical energy. The fluid is pumped in with the help of atmospheric pressure as a partial vacuum is created at the inlet. The fluid is transferred through to the destination via electrical energy. They come with a hydraulic power unit and a reservoir. They may or may not have a cooling unit.
• Diaphragm pumps: These are a type of positive displacement pumps, which comprise a diaphragm and valves on either sides. This helps in pumping in the fluid and preventing backflow. The diaphragm may function either mechanically or electrically. They come with a gear motor and variable speed adjustment.
• Vacuum pumps: These are a type of positive displacement pumps, wherein a partial vacuum is created by expanding the tank or container volume. This builds pressure in the container which forces the flow of fluid into the pump’s vacuum or cavity. These pumps are robust and mostly made of iron. They come with liquid sealing connections which help build the partial vacuum.

Applications of Pumps

Our pumps are ideal for transferring various gases and fluids with different consistencies which may include semi-solids and particulate matter. Here are a few application areas of our used and surplus pumps:

• Food processing
• Pharmaceutical
• Pulp and paper
• Chemicals
• Oil & gas
• Water and wastewater

Why Buy Used Pumps?

Here are some benefits of investing in used pumps.

• We offer used pumps along with a great service which are immediately available for shipping and installation.
• Their immediate availability is a major factor as it saves on production downtime and related costs.
• Buying used pumps helps save on energy and resources required to make a new pump, plus the time required to make a new one.
• We offer FDA-approved pumps for the food & beverages sector.

How to Maintain and Service Used Pumps for Longevity

Ensuring that used pumps function efficiently and last a time requires proper upkeep and servicing practices in place to maintain their optimal performance levels. To keep used industrial pumps, in good shape here are some essential maintenance suggestions to follow:

• Regular Inspection: Conduct routine inspections to check for any signs of wear and tear, such as leaks, unusual noises, or vibrations. Early detection of issues can prevent minor problems from turning into major failures.
• Lubrication: Regularly lubricate moving parts like bearings and seals to reduce friction and wear. The frequency of lubrication depends on the type of industrial pump and its operating environment. Always use the recommended lubricants to avoid compatibility issues.
• Monitor Pump Performance: Keep an eye on key performance indicators such as flow rate, pressure, and power consumption. Any deviation from the standard operating parameters could indicate a potential issue. Monitoring can help in diagnosing problems early and avoiding costly repairs or downtime.
• Check Seals and Gaskets: Seals and gaskets are common points of failure in used pumps. Regularly inspect these components for signs of wear, cracks, or leaks, and replace them as necessary to prevent leakage and maintain efficiency.
• Clean Components: Dirt, debris, and sediment can accumulate in pump components over time, affecting performance. Regularly clean the impeller, casing, and other parts to ensure smooth operation. For industrial pumps used in harsh environments, more frequent cleaning may be required.
• Align and Balance the Pump: Misalignment or imbalance can cause excessive vibration and lead to premature wear of the pump and motor. Ensure that the pump and motor are correctly aligned and balanced according to the manufacturers specifications.
• Implement a Preventive Maintenance Schedule: A proactive approach to maintenance can significantly extend the life of used industrial pumps. Establish a preventive maintenance schedule that includes inspections, lubrication, cleaning, and part replacements at regular intervals.

By following to these maintenance routines and strategies? ?businesses can enhance the longevity and dependability of their used pumps, while also securing effectiveness and reducing the overall cost of ownership.

Environmental Impact in Recycling and Reusing Used Pumps

Reusing and recycling pumps that are no longer in use is crucial for supporting sustainability efforts and lessening environmental harm. Here are a few aspects to consider regarding the advantages of repurposing used pumps, for the environment:

• Reduction in Waste: By opting to recycle and reuse industrial pumps, businesses help reduce the amount of waste that ends up in landfills. Instead of discarding perfectly functional pumps, refurbishing and reusing them ensures that fewer materials are wasted, contributing to a circular economy.
  
  
• Lower Energy Consumption: Manufacturing new industrial pumps requires significant energy resources, from mining raw materials to the production process itself. In contrast, refurbishing used pumps consumes much less energy, as the primary structure and components are already in place. This reduction in energy consumption leads to lower carbon emissions.
  
  
• Conservation of Resources: Recycling used industrial pumps reduces the need for new raw materials, such as metals and plastics. This helps in conserving natural resources and decreases the environmental footprint of mining and refining activities associated with new pump production.
  
  
• Cost-Effective and Sustainable Solution: For businesses, reusing used pumps is not only an environmentally responsible choice but also a cost-effective one. Recycled pumps are typically less expensive than new ones, allowing companies to save money while reducing their ecological impact.
  
  
• Support for Green Initiatives: Companies that prioritize recycling and reusing industrial pumps demonstrate their commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility. This can enhance their reputation, appeal to eco-conscious clients, and align with global green initiatives.
  
  
• Extended Lifecycle of Equipment: Refurbishing and reusing used industrial pumps extends the life cycle of the equipment, ensuring that they remain in operation for longer periods. This helps maximize the value derived from the resources initially used to manufacture them.

In terms when pumps are recycled and reused it helps in creating a more environmentally friendly setting and also brings economic advantages for businesses aiming to cut expenses and lessen their environmental footprint. By adopting sustainable methods businesses can play an important part, in conserving natural resources and advocating for a more eco-friendly tomorrow.
