Discpac technology
Not centrifugal. Not positive displacement.
Discflo disc pumps are not centrifugal, positive displacement, gear, or lobe pumps. They use smooth parallel discs and the properties of the fluid itself to move it — which is why they handle what other pumps cannot.
- 01
A boundary layer forms
A boundary layer of fluid molecules collects and rotates with the discs. This creates a natural, protective buffer that separates the pump from the fluid.
- 02
Viscous drag moves it
The rotating discs transfer momentum to the fluid by viscous drag rather than direct impact or centrifugal force, which eliminates damaging turbulence and shear.
- 03
It leaves in parallel streams
Fluid is pulled through the pump without impingement. The boundary layer attracts and drags successive layers of fluid molecules into layered flows of parallel streams.
What that gets you in the plant.
No pulsation
Steady flow without the pressure spikes that fatigue a system.
Longer seal life
Less turbulence at the seal face means fewer changes.
Excellent MTTR
Fewer wear parts, and the ones there are come out quickly.
Laminar flow
Product is moved, not chopped, sheared or emulsified.
High suction lift
Tolerates entrained air where a centrifugal loses prime.
No radial load
Balanced hydraulics, so bearings are not fighting the pump.
