Albany's Custom Centrifugal

Albany’s range of centrifugal pumps are ideal for a variety of situations. They can handle a range of temperatures up to 180 °C and can be manufactured in either cast iron, steel or stainless steel, with a range of added extra options for user convenience. Available in either horizontal or vertically mounted options with a bearing bracket, these pumps can be easily removed for maintenance without disturbing driver, suction or delivery pipework.

Centrifugal pumps impart energy to the liquid by means of a centrifugal force developed by the rotation of the impeller. First, the liquid is injected into the pump, through the pump casing and down the impeller eye. Velocity energy is imparted to the liquid through the centrifugal force produced by the rotating impeller. The liquid is radially pushed out towards the impeller periphery. The velocity energy of the liquid is converted to pressure energy by directing it to an expanding volute design casing. The pumps operate at relatively higher speeds thus permitting a high liquid flow. Because of these advantages, Albany centrifugal pumps are very in demand in almost all industries.
