Advantages of Submersible Bore Pumps for Start-Up Textile Firms
Globally, textile firms grapple with the issue of performance and sustainability regarding water usage. For instance, it takes about 2700 litres of water to make one cotton t-shirt, which is a lot. That is why most textile firms opt to drill boreholes to meet their water needs. If you decide to drill a borehole, you need to install bore pumps to force water to the surface. Although there are a variety of options to choose from, submersible bore pumps are considered the best. This article looks at the various advantages of submersible pumps.
Water Proof -- As the name suggests, submersible bore pumps are designed to operate underwater. At a glance, use of submersible bore pumps might cause concern to textile plants because of the apparent dangers. The good news is that the motor on this type of bore pump is hermetically sealed to prevent water from reaching the electrical parts. Additionally, the fact that the motor is close-coupled to the pump's body ensures that it is not affected by water pressure regardless of how long the pump stays submerged.
No Priming Needed -- For most centrifugal bore pumps to function as required, priming is necessary; that is, you must fill the pump's casing with water first. If you fail to do this, then the pump will fill with air, and the impeller will not initiate the pumping process. However, submersible bore pumps do not need priming because they already operate under water. Therefore, you do not need to fill it with water every time you want to run it, which saves time given that textile production is labour intensive.
Efficient -- A standard bore pump operates by pulling water into the intake, then through the diffuser and finally to the outlet. The process uses a lot of energy. Unlike standard pumps, a submersible bore pump does not require a lot of energy to draw in water. It harnesses the surrounding water pressure instead. Ultimately, instead of using power to pull water, a submersible bore pump pushes water on its own, which makes it one of the most energy efficient bore pumps. For a textile firm, energy efficiency ranks high, and a submersible bore pump does not disappoint.
Quiet -- For textile firms, environmental sustainability does not stop at promoting water and air quality. Noise pollution has become a significant concern for communities living around these firms; consequently, textile companies are implementing strategies to reduce noise pollution. Notably, submersible bore pumps go a long way towards achieving this goal. Since they operate under water, the noise produced by the motor is muffled.
