2. Wanner Engineering is the manufacturer of
Stan-Cor centrifugal pumps, among other
products. Built to combat abrasive and dirty
process fluids, centrifugal pumps created by
Wanner Engineering can reach a dynamic
head of 350 feet and flow rates of 700
gallons per minute.

3. Used in the hydraulic industry, a centrifugal pump
creates kinetic energy in liquid using an impeller. An
impeller comes in three different forms: enclosed,
semi-open, and open. Located at the core of the
pump, the impeller contains plates with backward
curved veins that are essential for movement. The
impeller is always immersed in water. Rotating the
surrounding liquid, it builds centrifugal force, which
radiates outward. This action creates both pressure
and kinetic energy that rises. Additionally, the
suction side of the impeller displaces water,
resulting in negative pressure.

4. The impeller is fitted inside a casing that
collects water and pushes the liquid in the
direction at which the impeller is moving.
This structure reduces exit flow velocity and
increases static pressure, a combination
necessary for overcoming pressure that
builds up in the system.
