Water is a staple commodity in every industry and to harness the energy of water, distribute it and use it to its fullest potential, pumps have been the tool of choice since time immemorial. With development of technological skill and understanding, various types of pumps for a wide variety of purposes started appearing in the market. One of the most widely used amongst them is the centrifugal pump.

What is a centrifugal pump?

A centrifugal pump can be defined as the machine which uses rotation for imparting velocity to liquids and then converting that velocity into flow. The basic model consists of an impeller, a volute, a shaft, shaft sleeves, bearings and a sealing arrangement.

Advantages of a centrifugal pump:

1. They do not have drive seals that lessen the risk of leakage.
2. They can be used to pump out risky and harmful liquids.
3. They have magnetic coupling that can be broken easily in overload conditions and it protects the pump from damage.
4. The pump and motor are apart from each other so no heat transfer is possible from motor to pump.
5. It produces a lot less friction.

Since water is the raw material for centrifugal pumps, they find use in various industries. They are just like water turbines in reverse.

They are used in oil refineries and power plants. Municipal water applications use centrifugal pumps as their main tool. It is used to move general water supply to places where little to no suction lift is required.

They also find use in waste water management, flood protection, irrigation and agriculture, drainage, boiler feed applications etc.

They also find use in building applications like boosting water services into homes, fire protection sprinklers, hot water circulation, air conditioning systems etc.

They are used as froth pumps in the mining industry to separate bitumen and minerals from clay and sand and to transport solids and slurries.

Industries like chemical, paint, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, beverage etc. all use centrifugal pumps in one or other way.

Combined with the wide use and the advantages of centrifugal pumps, its highly efficient, low cost and simple machinery has helped in the development of these industries.

VEMC name itself stands for trust and quality in the engineering and machinery industry. Having a strong foothold in the market since 1948, it is one of the largest and reputable centrifugal pump distributers and dealers in India. If you are searching for centrifugal pumps in India, then do look out for VEMC’s wide category of centrifugal pumps specialized for different industries.

It has become common knowledge that increased and reckless usage of fossil fuel in modern times has led to global warming and several related environmental issues. In the 21st Century, the need of the hour is to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and adopt renewable sources of energy that will not harm the environment. One such renewable and freely available source of energy is the sun. Harnessing the sun’s power will eliminate the current difficulty involved in procuring energy for large scale uses. Working towards a sustainable future by embracing alternatives such as solar energy is the best way to contribute to environmental conservation as members of a global society.

Efficiency of Solar Products

How is solar power a good option? Sunlight is abundant (and free!), and can readily be tapped as a source of energy. Solar energy is one kind of energy that can never run out. Apart from reducing your electricity bills and being non-polluting, solar energy is important in the current day and age because of its global availability. There are various ways in which solar power can be tapped, and there are several types of solar products that can utilize solar energy.

Solar generators (which are compact Solar PV generators) allow for instant power supply and are apt for the backup requirements of residential and small commercial units. Modular, scalable and easy to install, solar generators have a portable design and are a wise choice for farms, bungalows, schools, nursing homes, small hospitals and small commercial spaces. Mobile solar generators have a strong structure capable of withstanding tough environmental conditions. The inbuilt storage capacity (Li-ion batteries) of these generators allows for usage of the stored surplus power during night-time. There is the option of choosing between mobile and fixed solar generator systems, according to need and convenience. When it comes to energy backup requirements, solar generators are an excellent way of free power generation.

Solar lighting is an environment friendly, reliable and efficient way of harnessing solar energy to brighten up streets, roads, playgrounds, campuses, courtyards and parks. Apart from these, solar lighting solutions can also be used to light up airfields, military bases, stadiums and wildlife areas. Solar lighting is the best way to utilize sunlight for lighting purposes, and is a good replacement for traditionally used sources of lighting, such as electricity-run lamps and kerosene lamps.

Vijay Engineering and Machinery Company (VEMC) has been the leader in innovative solar power systems and solutions, and our solar generators and solar lighting solutions are some of the best ways to tap the potential of the sun’s plentiful rays. We have years of experience in dealing with large scale projects, ranging from those in residential spaces to commercial areas.
