We only promote products for which we have been appointed as distributors and currently hold around £200,000 in stock of pumps and parts.

What we do

We tend to specialise in sealless leak-free products and offer ranges of magnetically driven gear pumps, magnetically driven centrifugal pumps (including metal, plastic and lined centrifugals), conventionally sealed centrifugal pumps, peristaltic pumps, tubular diaphragm pumps, metering pumps, valveless piston pumps, high pressure diaphragm pumps, vane pumps, side channel pumps, air operated double diaphragm pumps and barrel emptying pumps.

We can supply pumps in a wide choice of wetted materials for liquids between 0.2 cP and 500,000 cP, temperatures between -50°C and +400°C, capacities from nanolitres per hour to over 15m³ per minute and can offer pumps for pressures up to 350 bar and high discharge pressures up to 500 bar.

We are also able to pump liquids with up to 60% solid content, depending on the nature of the solids and the specific duty details. Self-priming pumps are available for suction lifts up to 7.5 metres. Depending on the duty requirements, we can offer pumps which have a low shear action or have a smooth flow or which can be run dry. Corrosion resistant materials are available for many of our ranges include metallic options of stainless steel and high nickel alloys or plastic options of PVC, polypropylene, PVDF and ETFE.

Michael Smith Engineers have experience of pumping many hard to handle liquids including acids, bases, organic liquids, solvents, inorganic liquids, slurries, volatile liquids, corrosives, abrasive liquids, non-lubricating liquids, liquids with entrained gases and flammable liquids.

We are able to provide a wide range of drive options for the various ranges we represent including single phase and three phase motors, inverter control, DC motors, air motors, ATEX approved drives and manual and automatic variable speed units.

As well as supplying a complete range of specialist pumps and drives, we also offer a comprehensive range of accessories including filters, relief and loading valves, flow meters and tubing to complement the different types of pumps.
