[ 5 ] [ 4 ] [ 6 ] The company was a subsidiary of Pfizer , [ 7 ] the world's largest drug maker , but with Pfizer's spinoff of its 83% interest in the firm it is now a completely independent company.
The pump used a leather hose which did not need to self-open when released by the rollers, instead relying on the incoming water having sufficient pressure to fill the open inlet end on each cycle. [1] The peristaltic pump was first patented in the United States by Rufus Porter and J. D. Bradley in 1855 (U.S. Patent number 12753) [2] as a well ...
Simple hand-operated reciprocating pump. The simplest example is the bicycle pump, which is used ubiquitously to inflate bicycle tires and various types of sporting balls. [1] Power-operated deep well reciprocating pump; By mechanism. Single-acting reciprocating pump consists of a piston of which only one side engages the fluid being displaced. [2]
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 ...

A rotary vane pump is a type of positive-displacement pump that consists of vanes mounted to a rotor that rotates inside a cavity. In ...
A circulator pump for home use. A circulator pump or circulating pump is a specific type of pump used to circulate gases, liquids, or slurries in a closed circuit with small elevation changes. They are commonly found circulating water in a hydronic heating or cooling system.
Interior view of a turbomolecular pump. A turbomolecular pump is a type of vacuum pump, superficially similar to a turbopump, used to obtain and maintain high vacuum. [1] [2] These pumps work on the principle that gas molecules can be given momentum in a desired direction by repeated collision with a moving solid surface.
