Crane Engineering offers a wide variety of submersible pumps. From light-duty water pumps to heavy-duty submersible pumps for mining or wastewater applications, you'll find exactly what you need with Crane.
A submersible pump has an air-tight sealed motor, coupled to the pump so that total pump submersion is possible. The key advantage of a submersible pump is that pump cavitation is prevented. Submersible pumps never require priming because the entire pump is submerged in fluid. Submersible pumps are very efficient because the fluid pressure pushes the fluid into the pump instead of the pump having to move fluid into it, allowing for optimal energy efficiency.
Selecting the proper submersible pump depends on the application, the type of fluid being handled, and site conditions. The right choice ensures longer equipment life, better efficiency, and lower maintenance costs
No - being fully submerged eliminates the need to remove trapped air prior to start-up.
Yes - especially models designed for solids handling, like those from Cornell or BJM.
Key factors include the type of fluid being pumped (clean water, wastewater, slurry, or chemicals), the required flow rate, total dynamic head (TDH), material compatibility, and motor power. Environmental conditions such as temperature, pH level, and presence of solids also play a role in selecting the correct pump for your application. Submersible pumps have a variety of installation options and mounting methods.
With proper selection, installation, and maintenance, an industrial-grade submersible pump can last anywhere from 7 to 15 years. Lifespan depends on operating conditions, pump design, and adherence to regular inspection and servicing schedules. Preventive maintenance can significantly extend pump life and reduce downtime. The most common areas of failure in these pumps are the seals and bearings.
Submersible pumps are most commonly seen in the wastewater, agriculture, and construction industries. These pumps are ideal for well systems, dewatering, irrigation, and sewage applications. They can aid in fluid transfer as well as pumping out tanks and wells. They are compact, efficient, and reliable pumps that will perform for extended periods of time in the harshest of conditions.
Submersible pumps are ideal for pump out and transfer applications in wells, tanks, and pits. They provide better efficiency and solids handling capabilities when comparing to vertical turbine and self-priming pumps, since there is no suction lift requirement for submersibles. Submersible pumps are however limited when it comes to very deep well applications, in the thousands of feet. This is where vertical turbine pumps are better suited due to the ability to generate very high head pressures.
