• Axial flow pumps, also known as propeller pumps, play a pivotal role in industrial pumps due to their unique design and functionality. These pumps utilize a propeller-type impeller that creates a flow by imparting centrifugal force on the fluid. The fluid enters the pump impeller along the axis of rotation, and the propeller blades push the fluid outward, creating a flow. The market is driven by several factors. The increasing demand for energy efficiency in industrial applications is one of the primary drivers. These pumps offer high energy efficiency due to their ability to handle large volumes of fluid at low-pressure heads.

  Moreover, they are suitable for handling large discharge rates and controlled vertical heads, making them an ideal choice for various industries. Natural calamities, such as floods and waterlogged areas, have also fueled the demand for axial flow pumps. The spillage from the horizontal shaft, along with the suction and discharge lines, has caused significant waterlogging in the area, requiring the installation of positive displacement pumps to manage the high volume flow rates, while concrete inlet and outlet canals are being reinforced to direct water efficiently. These pumps are effective in moving large volumes of water quickly and efficiently, making them indispensable during emergencies.
