The pumping industry was revolutionized with the creation of the vertical pump motor in the early 1920’s. This allowed for electric motors to be attached to the top of a pump, and the impacts were impressive. The installation process was simplified, and because it required fewer parts, was then less expensive. The efficiency of the pump motors increased by 30%, and because vertical pump motors are purpose specific, they are more durable and reliable than their horizontal counterparts. Vertical pump motors are generally classified by their shaft type, either hollow or solid.

Topic: prevent industrial pump from needing repair pump repair explosion-proof motors pump motors pump technologies

In certain pumping applications, there can be sensitive hazardous conditions. It could be that the environment around the material to be pumped is explosive for one of several reasons. Or the material to be pumped itself could be considered hazardous. In both cases, the situation may call for a particular type of pump, known as an explosion-proof pump. This type of pump is designed to protect both the environment and the material to be transferred from pump related conditions that could cause detonation.
