Liquid Movers distributes a select range of Debem’s pumps across sub-Saharan Africa, which includes mechanically sealed, magnetic drive, and vertical centrifugal pumps.

Centrifugal Pumps

Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pump DM

A sophisticated design offers protection from acids and corrosive fluids by separating metal parts and fluids. This feature makes the pump suitable for various applications.

Magnetic Drive Centrifugal Pumps KM

These powerful industrial centrifugal pumps retain and improve upon the features of the DM pumps. Their improved flowrates and enhanced energy efficiency make them ideal for heavy-duty applications.

Vertical Centrifugal Pump IM

This high-performance vertical centrifugal pump features a resin casing and an electric motor. It is ideal for fixed installation, and can pump fluid with a head up to 40 m.

Horizontal Centrifugal Pumps With Mechanical Seals MB

The horizontal centrifugal pumps in thermoplastic polymer (polypropylene or PVDF) are designed to pump even very dirty fluids with an apparent viscosity up to 500 cps (at 20°C) and small-sized suspended solids.

Frequently Asked Questions

A centrifugal pump moves liquid by converting rotational energy into pressure energy.

A centrifugal pump moves liquid by converting rotational energy into pressure energy.

Several industries use centrifugal pumps for a variety of applications. These include:

  • water
  • wastewater
  • municipal water supply
  • booster stations
  • irrigation
  • agricultural transfer
  • sewage lift
  • stormwater
  • sludge handling
  • buildings

A centrifugal pump can last 10–25+ years with consistent maintenance, service, correct installation and proper use.

Centrifugal pumps are dynamic devices intended for applications that require high flow rates and low to medium pressures, particularly when handling low-viscosity liquids such as water, light oils, or solvents. Their flow output varies based on the system pressure. On the other hand, positive displacement pumps capture a specific volume of fluid and push it through the system, making these pumps well-suited for applications involving high-viscosity, shear-sensitive fluids or situations requiring high-pressure dosing, as they deliver a consistent flow regardless of the pressure conditions.

They can handle moderately viscous fluids, but efficiency decreases as viscosity increases. They are generally best suited for fluids with a viscosity below 200–500 cps. High-viscosity fluids cause excessive resistance, leading to overheating, power loss, and potential pump damage.

Yes. Unlike positive displacement pumps, centrifugal pumps cannot create suction from a dry start. They must be primed (filled with the pumped fluid) before operation, as they cannot move air.
