The Pitbull Pumps Difference

Most industrial pump designs have evolved to utilize complicated features to handle solids or debris in wastewater or slurry applications. But pumping doesn’t need to be complicated, and in fact, it shouldn’t be! Pitbull Pump’s innovative Submersible pump technology leverages the fundamental concept that simplicity always works best. The Pitbull Pump consists of a hollow chamber and 2 check valves, with no impellers, diaphragms, or seals, and no electric motor. Its pumping power comes from compressed air acting directly on the liquid as the motive force. During the inflow cycle, liquid is drawn into the hollow chamber, then to complete the outflow cycle, compressed air discharges the liquid. Liquid flows through the intake check valve and is then pushed through the outflow check valve, and these two are the pump’s only moving parts. The Pitbull Pump is constructed of highly durable and heavy-duty materials, giving the pump a long lifespan and extremely low maintenance requirements.

Achieving simplicity in design is not easy. But we’ve cracked the code when it comes to Submersible pump technology.

What is the Pitbull Difference in Submersible Pump Technology?

Conventional industrial sump pumps typically require the sump to fill to a high level before pumping cycles on, which allows solids to settle and results in clogged pumps and solids settling out in the sumps. The Pitbull submersible pump design can cycle on at a much lower liquid level and will match the cycle rate to the inflow rate. The pump shuts itself off when the liquid flow stops, so no level controls are needed and the pump will not run dry. The Pitbull Pump’s unique design allows it to vary its capacity to match the inflow.

Solids, Debris, Corrosive Materials? Not a Problem, With the Pitbull

A plant engineer’s most troubling applications can involve pumping liquids with solids or trash, causing conventional pumps to clog, wear, require frequent service or replacement, or they are not able to handle the solids at all. Pitbull Pump’s simple pneumatic displacement design allows virtually any kind of liquid and/or solid including debris to flow through its wide-open passages and check valves without clogging. Solids, abrasive particles, and corrosive materials flow through the pump easily, and there are no seals, impellers, motors or diaphragms to impede flow, degrade or wear.

Explosion-proof By Design

Electric motor-driven industrial pumps and controls require extensive design modifications to prevent sparking or ignition in explosion-proof environments , driving up the cost of the pump installation as well as the maintenance. The pneumatic-driven Pitbull Pump is inherently safe for explosion-proof pump environments, with no design modifications needed. No electric motor is used in its pneumatic displacement design, with compressed air acting like a piston to move liquids into and out of the hollow chamber.
