Pump and Compressor Technologies Knowledge from Thomas

Piston technology has remained one of the most popular and most widely used pump and compressor technologies in the world. Discover the highest-quality WOB-L® and articulating piston technologies designed for a broad range of demanding pressure and vacuum applications.

Rotary vane vacuum pumps and compressors uses centrifugal force to compress the volume of the medium in order to increase pressure and create vacuum.

Liquid diaphragm pumps equipped with only one diaphragm cause pulse waves that may negatively affect the efficiency of the entire system and lead to end-product quality issues. However, there are a number of ways of reducing pulsation when liquid diaphragm pumps are used.

Diaphragm pumps work by reduction of a volume of medium using a flexible membrane driven by a crank. This positive displacement pumps can pump gas and liquid.

Linear diaphragm and vibrating armature pumps utilize electromagnetic forces for the power transmission on a diaphragm or piston. Learn how they pump gases or liquids.

Fermentation is the process of breaking down a substance to its simpler components in order to produce specific chemical and/or physical changes in the media. Learn more about what to consider when selecting a pump for this application.
