About Pollard pumps
Pollard Pumps: The Leading Manufacturer of Positive Displacement Pumps
Pollard is a renowned manufacturer of positive displacement pumps that cater to various industries such as nuclear, railway, wind-power, and agriculture. With over 150 years of experience in the industry, Pollard has established itself as a reliable and innovative company that provides high-quality products and exceptional customer service.
The company's commitment to excellence is evident in its state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities located in the UK. These facilities are equipped with the latest technology and machinery to ensure that every pump produced by Pollard meets the highest standards of quality.
One of the key strengths of Pollard is its ability to design custom-made pumps for specific applications. The company's team of experienced engineers works closely with clients to understand their unique requirements and develop bespoke solutions that meet their needs. This approach has helped Pollard build long-term relationships with customers who trust the company's expertise and reliability.
Pollard offers a wide range of positive displacement pumps including gear pumps, screw pumps, vane pumps, lobe pumps, peristaltic pumps, and progressive cavity pumps. Each type has its own unique features and benefits depending on the application it is used for.
Gear Pumps: These are ideal for low viscosity fluids such as oils or fuels. They have two gears rotating against each other which creates suction at one end while discharging at another end.
Screw Pumps: These are suitable for high viscosity fluids such as sludge or thick oils. They have two screws rotating against each other which create cavities between them where fluid gets trapped before being discharged at another end.
Vane Pumps: These are ideal for low viscosity fluids such as water or solvents. They have vanes attached to a rotor which rotates inside a casing creating suction at one end while discharging at another end.
Lobe Pumps: These are suitable for medium viscosity fluids such as syrups or creams. They have lobes attached to rotors which rotate inside a casing creating suction at one end while discharging at another end.
Peristaltic Pumps: These are ideal for pumping abrasive or corrosive fluids without damaging them because they use rollers compressing tubing instead of impellers pushing fluid through pipes like other types do so there’s no contact between fluid & pump parts except tubing walls themselves making it perfect choice when handling hazardous materials too!
Progressive Cavity Pump (PCP): This type uses an eccentric rotor turning inside an elastomeric stator creating cavities between them where fluid gets trapped before being discharged out from discharge port on opposite side; this makes PCPs suitable even when pumping highly viscous materials like muds & slurries!
All these types come in different sizes ranging from small laboratory models up-to large industrial ones capable handling thousands gallons per minute!
In addition to designing custom-made solutions, Pollard also offers standard products that can be easily integrated into existing systems. The company's product range includes both electrically driven and hydraulically driven positive displacement pumps designed specifically for various applications across different industries including:
Nuclear Industry - Nuclear power plants require reliable pumping systems that can handle radioactive liquids safely without any leakage; this is where Pollards’ expertise comes into play providing safe & efficient solutions meeting all regulatory requirements!
Railway Industry - Railways require robust pumping systems capable handling large volumes liquids efficiently; whether it’s fuel transfer stations along tracks or cooling water circulation within locomotives themselves – we’ve got you covered!
Wind Power Industry - Wind turbines need lubrication oil circulating throughout gearbox ensuring smooth operation under harsh conditions; our gear-pump designs provide reliable performance even under extreme temperatures & pressures encountered here!
Agriculture Industry - Farmers need irrigation systems delivering water crops efficiently without wasting resources; our peristaltic-pump designs offer precise control over flow rates ensuring optimal growth conditions achieved every time!
At Pollard we pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer service throughout entire process from initial consultation through installation commissioning maintenance support afterwards too! We believe building long-term relationships based upon mutual trust respect key success factors driving our business forward today tomorrow alike!
