Complete buying Guide: Pump Casting Parts

A pump is a machine that has a wide variety of use in the social order. Its mechanical action makes work more manageable when moving fluids, gases, water, and slurries. Pumps can be categorized depending on the use, shape, and size.

However, the standard pumps in society include water pumps, vacuum pumps, trash pumps, hydraulic pumps, and sump pumps.

If you are looking for casted pump parts, then we have a solution for you.

We are a known cast pump manufacturer, and our pump components are cast using materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, bronze, and brass.

The notable parts that we cast include the pump body, pump impeller, pump cover, pump flange, mounting bracket by sand casting processes, and other fittings for the pump industry. Besides, we also have pump cases, impellers, suction wear plates, and more.

Let us now have a look at some of the pump casting parts that we make.

1. Pump Impeller

This is a rotating part of a pump fitted with blades deflected by the flow of fluids, liquids, or gases. The energy of the rotating blades is then converted into pump energy output. Thus, it is a casting pump part that boosts the pressure and flow of liquids, water, or gases.

The casting process used when casting the pump impeller from the bronze material is sand casting. However, if you prefer your impeller designed from carbon steel or stainless steel materials, the investment casting method ensures you have the best pump impeller.

Nevertheless, you can get in touch with us with your drawings and quotations. We will provide the best pump impeller at a manageable price.

2. Pump Body

This unsung hero helps in housing pump castings, allowing the powerful flow of liquids or gases more efficiently. Moreover, the passageways of the pump body allow a smooth inlet and discharge of the pump contents.

The pump body is a bulky component that can weigh up to 2 tonnes. Therefore the casting process used includes sand casting, resin sand casting, and green sand casting. Also, the investment casting method works well with steel materials.

Besides, the pump body ought to be rugged and robust to host the casted pump parts. That means the materials used to cast the pump body should be strong. The material used includes steel, alloy steel, cast iron, ductile iron, grey iron, and cast steel.

3. Pump Flange

Casted pump flanges ensure a proper and perfect seal between the piping system and the pump. Therefore, you must have to ensure there is no leakage when pipes are connected to valves, filters, and pressure tubes. Usually, to ensure a perfect seal, the connection is completed using gaskets or other methods that lock the pipes.

Besides, the pump flanges weigh as low as 50 grams and have thin thicknesses. Therefore the method used to cast this component is the investment casting process. Here is why: the material used to cast pump flanges include carbon steel.

And the good news? You can have your pump flanges customized to the size, shape, and material that you prefer. We can do that for you at a manageable price

4. Pump suction cover

Pump suction cover comes in different sizes, types, and different materials. For that reason, different casting methods can be used in making this pump component.

Therefore, the material used to make the suction cover will determine the method required to cast the pump component. For example, a stainless steel suction cover requires a casting procedure known as the lost wax precision investment.

Besides stainless steel, other raw materials used include cast iron, bronze, martensitic steels (400 series steel), and austenitic steels (300 series steel). Similarly, different casting methods can be used to make this submersible pump part.

5. Mounting Bracket by Sand Casting

A mounting bracket comes in handy when looking to have your pump securely fitted in your home. A housing pump casting parts for your pump might be heavy. Therefore for your pump to work well while in operation, it needs a firm holding place.

A mounting bracket made by sand casting will be your best choice when looking for one. Besides, consider materials used in casting the frame.

Moreover, if you fail to have one already designed for your pump, you can have your mounting bracket customized in a size of your choice, with the material you prefer. Some of the materials you can use include stainless steel, cast iron, bronze, and carbon steel.

6. Pump Bearing Spider/Retainer

If you are looking for a pump bearing to help hold the lateral deflection and end movement of the axial shaft of the pump, then the spider/retainer bearing made by a casting process will work for you.

The size, shape, and weight of these bearings vary depending on the pump’s use—usually, the standard weight range from 50 grams to 15 kgs. Therefore the best pump bearing will be made by a lost wax precision investment casting process.

Other casting methods like sand casting can work when looking for an industrial pump bearing. Besides, the material used in making the spider/ retainer pump bearing varies. But stainless steel, bronze, and cast iron can be used. However, we can customize your casting pump part to your need.

7. Volute Casing for Pumps

The volute casing casting pump part receives, maintains the flow, and directs the liquids being pumped by the impeller to go through the discharge pipe.

Therefore it is a component that holds liquids, gases, and water under high pressure. Thus, the material used in casting the pump part should be versatile to withstand this pressure and energy. The materials include cast iron, stainless steel bronze, and carbon steel.

That means the casting procedure used includes precision investment casting and sand casting.

Conclusion

Pump casting parts include accessories and components like pump body, pump impeller, pump cover, and pump flange used to construct home pumps and industrial pumps.

And here is the Good news; we ensure our customers have the best experience with the parts that we supply.

Our pieces will meet your expectations whether you are looking for Casting, Pumps & Motor Parts, Submersible Pump Parts, industrial components, or domestic application pumps.
