Centrifugal pumps offer reliability to industrial users

Reliable and low maintenance. These key words describe the lineup of centrifugal pumps available from York Fluid Controls. The Brampton, Ont.-based distributor provides pumps made by such industry-leading manufacturers as Monarch Industries and AMT Pumps. 

What are centrifugal pumps?

Centrifugal pumps consist of a set of rotating vanes, enclosed within a housing or casing, used to impart energy to a fluid through centrifugal force. The pumps have two main parts: a rotating element, which includes an impeller and a shaft, and a stationary element made up of a casing (volute or solid), stuffing box and bearings. Centrifugal pumps operate using kinetic energy to move fluid utilizing an impeller and a circular pump casing.

What are the options?

York Fluid Controls’ lineup of pumps includes end suction centrifugal pumps from Monarch Industries.

• The EP Series features a rugged cast iron design suitable for a wide variety of markets, including irrigation, industrial, commercial and marine. These pumps are engineered to provide long, reliable service.
• The Monarch NE series is constructed using a thick-walled cast iron casing for maximum durability in high-pressure applications. 
• The Monarch NT and NH series of frame-mounted end suction centrifugal pumps are ideal for booster, circulator and agricultural irrigation systems where either belt and pulley drive, or direct drive through a flex coupling is required.
• The Monarch ACT series features a frame-mount design for either belt or direct drive through a flexible coupling. This allows the option of connecting the pumps to the motor or engine of choice.
• The Monarch AOT series also features a frame-mount design for either belt drive or direct drive through a flexible coupling. This allows the option of connecting the AOT to an electric motor or gas engine.
