    Schwing Concrete pump. The Schwing Group was founded as a medium-sized enterprise on 17 March 1934, by Friedrich Wilhelm Schwing (* 1909; † 1992), a locksmith from Wanne-Eickel. In 1957, Schwing built the world's first oil-hydraulic two-cylinder concrete pump. Starting in 1964, the company also built the first large concrete mixers.

  3. Centrifugal pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Centrifugal_pump

    Warman centrifugal pump in a coal preparation plant application A pair of centrifugal pumps for circulating hot water within a hydronic heating system. Centrifugal pumps are used to transport fluids by the conversion of rotational kinetic energy to the hydrodynamic energy of the fluid flow. The rotational energy typically comes from an engine ...

  5. Peristaltic pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peristaltic_pump

    A peristaltic pump, also commonly known as a roller pump, is a type of positive displacement pump used for pumping a variety of fluids. The fluid is contained in a flexible tube fitted inside a circular pump casing. Most peristaltic pumps work through rotary motion, though linear peristaltic pumps have also been made.

  6. Comparison of pumps - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_pumps

    Different types of pumps are suitable for different applications, for example: a pump's maximum lift height also determines the applications it can be used for. Low-lift pumps are only suitable for the pumping of surface water (e.g., irrigation, drainage of lands, ...), while high-lift pumps allow deep water pumping (e.g., potable water pumping ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stationary_steam_engine

    A stationary steam engine, preserved at Tower Bridge in London. This is one of two tandem cross-compound hydraulic pumping engines formerly used to raise and lower the bridge. Stationary steam engines are fixed steam engines used for pumping or driving mills and factories, and for

  8. Boiler feedwater pump - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiler_feedwater_pump

    Feedwater pumps range in size up to many kilowatts and the electric motor is usually separated from the pump body by some form of mechanical coupling. Large industrial condensate pumps may also serve as the feedwater pump. In either case, to force the water into the boiler, the pump must generate sufficient pressure to overcome the steam ...
