DISCFLO SELF-PRIMING SYSTEM

Start Automatically. Pump What Others Can’t.

Discflo’s self-priming system delivers fast, hands-free startup—even in fluid conditions that clog, cavitate, or stall conventional self-priming pumps.

No clogging. No downtime. No compromise.

WHY CHOOSE DISCFLO’S SELF-PRIMING SYSTEM?

The Discflo Self-Priming System combines our patented disc pump technology with a self-priming tank, delivering reliable, automated startup even in systems challenged by air ingress, suction lift, or intermittent flow.

Conventional self-priming pumps clog, cavitate, or wear out when faced with real-world fluids. Discflo is built to handle what others can’t: thick sludges, abrasive slurries, entrained air, and inconsistent or shear-sensitive flows.

If your operation demands self-priming capability without sacrificing uptime or durability, choose Discflo. Our pumps thrive where others fail.

KEY FEATURES | DISCFLO SELF-PRIMING SYSTEM

Automated Startup for Suction-Lift Systems

The self-priming tank keeps fluid in the system for fast, hands-free startup—even after the system shuts down or air enters the line. Ideal for above-grade, variable-level, and stop/start conditions.

Low NPSH and Cavitation Resistance

Discflo’s patented disc design requires minimal suction head and resists vapor lock where centrifugal and trash pumps often fail.

Virtually Clog-Free Design

No impellers, tight clearances, or shear points. Easily passes large solids, thick slurries, and fibrous materials without jamming or clogging. 

Designed to Minimize Maintenance

No seals, rotors, or tight-clearance parts to wear out. Laminar, non-contact flow reduces wear and cuts maintenance by up to 90 percent compared to conventional designs.

Proven in Harsh Industrial Environments

Built for abrasive, corrosive, and high-solids fluids. Many Discflo pumps have run for over two decades with little to no service required.

KEY BENEFITS | DISCFLO SELF-PRIMING SYSTEM

Increased Productivity

Stays running in the messiest conditions. Handles solids, variable flows, and air-laden fluids without clogging. Shear-free flow protects sensitive products and keeps output consistent, even as conditions fluctuate.

Reduced Operating Costs

Fewer parts to maintain. No seals, impellers, or mixers. With less equipment to support and longer service intervals, you spend less over the life of the pump.

Less Downtime, Fewer Surprises

Starts automatically after shutdown or air ingress. No manual priming. No restart delays. With decades of field-proven durability, Discflo keeps your system online when it matters most.

REAL-WORLD PERFORMANCE | DISCFLO VS. HYDROCARBON FLOW

In hydrocarbon processing, viscosity, entrained gases, and unstable flow make startup difficult—and staying online even harder.

This short video shows Discflo’s self-priming system running through a demanding hydrocarbon application. If your system struggles with thick or inconsistent fluids, this is the reliability you’re looking for.

THE LAST PUMP YOU’LL EVER NEED

If your process requires suction lift but your fluids overwhelm traditional pumps, it’s time for a smarter system. Discflo delivers hands-free startup and unbeatable performance—no clogs, no cavitation, no compromise.
