Peripheral Pumps

Detailed Information on Peripheral Pumps

Peripheral pumps are compact and economical pumps designed for applications requiring high pressure at low flow rates. By their nature, they impart high velocity to water and provide pressure increase through turbulence chambers. They are one of the most frequently used pump types in domestic water systems, small booster installations, clean water transfer, and industrial auxiliary circuits.

Operating Principle

Peripheral pumps create pressure by imparting high velocity to the fluid through the blades on the impeller and turbulence channels. This special hydraulic structure allows high pressure values to be reached even at low flow rates. Therefore, they are heavily preferred in domestic boosters and pressurization applications.

Material Structure

• • Body: Cast iron (GG25), brass, or electrostatic painted aluminum
• • Impeller: Brass or stainless steel impeller
• • Shaft: AISI 304 stainless steel
• • Mechanical Seal: Carbon/Ceramic – NBR/EPDM/Viton gaskets
• • Fan Cover: Aluminum or plastic

Application Areas

• • Domestic water supply and pressurization
• • Small-scale booster (hydrophore) systems
• • Clean water transfer
• • Garden irrigation and agricultural use
• • Auxiliary industrial circuits
• • Cooling systems and machine feed lines

Performance Capacity

Peripheral pumps are generally manufactured with:
• 1 – 6 m³/h flow rate
• 10 – 100 m head (lift)
• 0.25 – 2.2 kW motor power range. Thanks to their compact design, they offer low energy consumption and long-lasting operation.
