Description

JX Filtration offers a full range of transfer pumps from compact models delivering 8 m³/h to high-capacity units exceeding 70 m³/h, with flexible customization options to suit various flow rates, fluid viscosities, and material compatibility requirements across chemical processing, wastewater treatment, food and beverage, and industrial process applications—efficient, durable, and built for continuous operation.

A transfer pump is a mechanical device used to move liquids from one location to another—typically between storage tanks, process vessels, treatment stages, or filtration systems. Unlike pumps dedicated to metering or high-pressure process duties, transfer pumps prioritize consistent flow rate, reliable suction performance, and compatibility with the fluid being handled. Available in centrifugal and positive displacement configurations, transfer pumps serve as essential components in filtration systems, sludge dewatering lines, chemical dosing setups, and wastewater treatment processes.

Working Principle

Centrifugal Transfer Pump: A rotating impeller draws liquid into the pump casing through the suction inlet and accelerates it outward by centrifugal force into the discharge outlet. The flow rate is controlled by impeller diameter and rotational speed. Centrifugal transfer pumps are ideal for low-viscosity fluids in high-flow, low-to-medium pressure installations, offering simple construction, low maintenance requirements, and proven reliability in common process applications.
Positive Displacement Transfer Pump: Liquid is trapped in a cavity and mechanically forced through the discharge pipe. These pumps deliver a nearly constant flow rate regardless of pressure changes and are more efficient than centrifugal pumps, making them suitable for high-viscosity fluids, slurries, and shear-sensitive liquids.
Integration into Filtration Systems: In sludge dewatering and filtration processes, the transfer pump conveys sludge from the storage tank to the metering tank, with excess flow returned via a return pipe to maintain consistent feed volume. In filter press and paper plate filter systems, the transfer pump delivers filtrate to the filter body, where it enters the filtration chambers for solid-liquid separation.
