Metal industry
Pumps are used in the metal industry for various purposes, such as cooling machines, moving coolants and transporting materials. They can be both centrifugal and positive displacement pumps.
Reliability and durability
Pumps in the metal industry
Pumps play an important role in the metal industry, where they are used to move liquids and gases such as coolants, lubricants, hydraulic fluids and compressed air. Pumps are also used for handling metals, such as transporting molten metal. The choice of the right pump depends on factors such as viscosity, temperature and pressure. In addition, pumps in the metal industry must be resistant to harsh chemicals and corrosion to ensure longer life and reliability.
Pumps: An indispensable part of the metal industry
Pumps are an indispensable part of the metal industry and play a crucial role in transporting liquids and gases required for various processes. In the metal industry, for example, pumps are used to cool machines, heat materials and reduce friction. By using the right pumps, production costs can be reduced and efficiency increased.
In addition, pumps in the metal industry must be resistant to aggressive chemicals and corrosion to ensure long life and reliability. For this reason, high-quality materials such as stainless steel, titanium and plastics are often used in the design of these pumps.
Many applications
In addition to cooling and heating materials and reducing friction, pumps are also used in the metal industry to transport liquids and gases between different parts of the factory. This includes, for example, transporting coolants to cutting machines, moving hydraulic fluids to hydraulic presses and transporting gas to welding and cutting machines.

Advice and sales
The best possible solution for your application
There are many different types of pumps and just as many applications, such as a submersible, circulation or well pump. Due to this diversity of pumps, it is wise to be well informed about what type of pump is required before you purchase one or have it overhauled. The IPG team with various pump experts can always advise you on the best possible solution for your application and can also support you with the purchase and installation of the pump.
IPG has strong relationships with various pump manufacturers and can therefore give you good advice in purchasing many types and brands of pumps. For example, the Industrial Pump Group is the Dutch importer of SAER and official dealer of Lowara, Grundfos and Seepex, among others.

The applications of various pumps within the metal industry
Pumps play an important role in the metal industry, where they are used for various applications, such as transporting liquids and gases, cooling machines, heating materials and reducing friction. Below we discuss some common pump applications within the metal industry.
- Centrifugal pumps
Centrifugal pumps are one of the most commonly used pumps in the metal industry. They work by means of a rotating impeller that pushes the liquid or gas out, creating pressure. This type of pump is often used for moving coolants and lubricants, allowing the machines to operate without overheating or creating too much friction. - Positive displacement pumps
Positive displacement pumps are also common pumps within the metal industry. They work through rotational or linear motion that moves a liquid or gas. This type of pump is often used for transporting viscous liquids and materials, such as metals or additives. - Vacuum pumps
Vacuum pumps are often used in the metal industry to remove materials or move air. This type of pump creates a vacuum in a chamber, allowing air or material to be sucked in and removed. - Magnet driven pumps
Magnetic drive pumps are specially designed to handle hazardous or aggressive liquids, such as corrosive acids or bases. This type of pump uses magnets to turn the rotor instead of a traditional shaft. As a result, there is no contact between the liquid and the rotor, so that no leaks occur. - Rotary lobe pumps
Rotary lobe pumps are designed for high pressure and viscous liquids. They have a rotating rotor with lobes that move the liquid along the wall of the pump housing. This type of pump is often used for transporting viscous liquids such as polymers or metals. - Hydraulic pumps
Hydraulic pumps are often used in the metal industry to drive machines and tools, such as presses or saws. This type of pump uses fluid pressure to create movement and force.
The choice of the right pump depends on several factors, such as the nature of the liquid or gas to be moved, the desired pressure and flow, the ambient temperature and the type of process for which the pump is used.
The Industrial Pump Group can help you advise and select the right pump.
why each application has specific requirements
Pumps are used in the metal industry to transfer different types of liquids, such as coolants, lubricants, acids, bases and other chemicals. To ensure that these pumps can be used safely and effectively in these applications, they must meet specific requirements.
