An axial-flow pump, or AFP, is a common type of pump that essentially consists of a propeller (an axial impeller) in a pipe. The propeller can be driven directly by a sealed motor in the pipe or by electric motor or petrol/diesel engines mounted to the pipe from the outside or by a right-angle drive shaft that pierces the pipe.

An axial flow pump is a type of centrifugal pump in which the fluid enters and exits the pump in a parallel direction to the impeller. It has a suction parallel to the impeller. An axial flow pump doesn’t change the flow direction of the fluid.

Axial flow pumps, also known as elbow or propeller pumps, are used in high flow and low head applications. Sulzer offers a complete range of low and high pressure, horizontal and vertical axial flow pumps especially designed to handle severe pumping conditions.

Axial flow pumps, also called propeller pumps, are centrifugal pumps which move fluid axially through an impeller. They provide high flow rate and low head, but some models can be adjusted to run efficiently at different conditions by changing the impeller pitch.

Axial flow pumps are efficient for moving high volumes of liquid when significant pressure increase is not required. Their performance characteristics differ from other pump types, with power consumption increasing as flow decreases.

Axial flow pumps are sometimes called propeller pumps because they operate essentially the same as the propeller of a boat. Applications include low head and high capacity pumping requirements for any fluid.

Lewis® axial flow pumps are designed and built for continuous circulation of clean or solid-contaminated, corrosive and abrasive fluids. They offer low energy consumption, low maintenance costs and high quality from a company with proven global experience.

Jun 10, 2023 · An axial flow pump is a unique type of pump in which the impeller pushes the fluid in a direction parallel to the pump shaft, i.e., in the axial direction. This fluid motion is what generates the pump's high flow rates.

Jun 12, 2023 · Axial flow pumps are suitable for applications requiring high flow rates, such as hydraulic engineering, drainage systems, cooling systems and irrigation systems, etc. It has a simple design structure, high efficiency and reliability, and is widely used in various industries.

May 25, 2024 · Learn about axial flow pumps, their types, applications, and criteria for selection to enhance industrial fluid management. Axial flow pumps are a type of centrifugal pump that uses an impeller in a tube to move fluid in a direction parallel to the impeller shaft.
