Single stage centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump refers to a pump with only one impeller. It has a simple structure, stable performance, high speed, small size, light weight, high efficiency and large flow.

Multistage centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump is a pump that has two or more impellers. They can absorb water and press water in multiple stages , so that the water can be raised to a high position. High head can be reached by adding or reducing the numbers of impeller.

 

Low pressure centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump is a centrifugal pump which the head is up to 10bar.

Medium pressure centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump is a centrifugal pump which the head is up to 20bar.

High pressure centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump is a centrifugal pump which the head can be reached to 200bar.

 

Single suction centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump is also called end suction pump, water will be pump from suction port to discharge port, Water is drawn in from one side of the impeller.

Double suction centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump impeller is actually composed of two back-to-back impellers, and the water flowing from the impeller flows into a volute.

 

Horizontal centrifugal pump

This type of centrifugal pump, the shaft is in horizontal position.

Vertical centrifugal pump
This type of centrifugal pump, the shaft is in vertical position.
