Pump Selection Guide

HONO designs and supplies high-performance pneumatic diaphragm pumps, peristaltic pumps, hose pumps, magnetic drive pumps, and dosing pumps. Engineered for demanding fluid-handling challenges, our equipment supports critical operations across chemical processing, municipal/industrial water treatment, semiconductor fabrication, lithium battery manufacturing, photovoltaic production, pharmaceuticals, and food processing.
Use this comprehensive, engineering-backed guide to define your operating parameters and select the optimal pump for your facility.

Do not select a pump based solely on the peak flow listed in a standard product catalog.

Standard Units: L/min, L/h, m3/h, or GPM (Gallons Per Minute).

System Integration: Evaluate your operating flow alongside discharge pressure, fluid viscosity, temperature, and pipe sizing. For dosing systems, define the required injection rate and control accuracy rather than total volume.

Viscosity Spectrum: From low-viscosity organic solvents to high-viscosity pastes. HONO specializes in difficult fluid transfers, including high-solids slurries, mortar handling, and high-viscosity ink/coating applications.

Solids Management: Identify particle concentration and maximum dimensions to prevent clogging, excessive wear, and premature mechanical failure.

Operating temperature radically changes material behavior and fluid characteristics.
A chemical-resistant material at room temperature may degrade or lose structural integrity at elevated temperatures.
Ensure compliance with international safety standards (such as ATEX, CE, or ISO) if operating in hazardous or explosive plant environments.

Environment: Indoor/outdoor placement, ambient temperature, humidity, dust, and hazardous area classifications (e.g., explosion-proof zones).

Piping & Suction Design: Even a perfectly selected pump will underperform if the suction line causes cavitation or excessive flow restriction. Match your suction and discharge port sizes to proper engineering standards.
