How Blackmer Pump Technologies Work

Blackmer pumps use different operating principles to move liquids and gases safely and efficiently. The right technology depends on the fluid being transferred, its viscosity, required flow rate, pressure, and the operating environment.

The Blackmer range includes:

  • Blackmer sliding vane pumps: Positive displacement pumps that move fluid between sliding vanes within a turning rotor.
  • Centrifugal pumps: Pumps that use centrifugal force to produce flow.
  • Blackmer gear pumps: Positive displacement pumps that transfer fluid using meshing gears.
  • Blackmer screw pumps: Positive displacement pumps that use rotating screws to move fluid smoothly through the pump.

Each technology offers distinct advantages for specific industrial, bulk-transfer, and process applications.
