How do you connect a pump to a motor? Here are FOUR common drive types

In a previous Pump Report Chad discussed the motors used to power pumps. But how do you connect a pump to that motor? And what if you want to run the pump slower than motor speed? In this episode Chad talks about drives and their related equipment. 

The term “drive” is used to describe the ancillary equipment used to mount and power a pump. This includes the motor, which we’d already discussed, but can also include a baseplate, coupling, guard, reducer, and more.

Asphalt Cement

Positive displacement pumps are ideal for transferring asphalt cement because they provide a constant and steady flow, which is essential for handling the viscous nature of asphalt. These pumps operate by trapping a fixed amount of fluid and displacing it through the discharge pipe, making them highly effective at handling thick and sticky substances like asphalt cement. Unlike centrifugal pumps, which can lose efficiency and struggle with high-viscosity fluids, positive displacement pumps maintain consistent pressure and volume regardless of changes in pressure.
