If there are two brands that many residential, commercial, and industrial property owners choose over any other, AMT and Berkeley. Both AMT Centrifugal Pumps and Berkeley Centrifugal Pumps brands are renowned for premium quality, durability, and efficiency. But why are they so good in the first place? Well, it has to do with the features of their pump models, which give users the ability to manage their liquid pumping requirements effortlessly
A bit about Centrifugal pumps first.
Centrifugal Pumps operate using rotational energy that is generated by the rotors and impeller in the pump. When liquid enters from the inlet point, it goes through the eye of the centrifugal pump and is rotated at a fast speed, usually between 500rpm & 5000rpm.
Of the various centrifugal pump brands available in the market today, AMT Centrifugal Pumps and Berkeley Centrifugal Pumps have consistently outperformed the rest.
