Positive Displacement Pumps
Positive Displacement pumps mechanically displace a known volume of
liquid so that the pumps, running at a constant speed, positively displace
a liquid volume at a fixed rate. PD pumps can be subdivided into two main
categories; reciprocating pumps and rotary pumps.
Within the two main categories, the pumps may operate by
means of various pumping techniques. Johnson Pump offers Air Operated Double
Diaphragm (AODD) pumps as reciprocating pump type and Flexible Impeller, Internal
Gear and Rotary Lobe pumps as rotary pump types.
