AB - To meet energy-saving and environment-protective purpose, a series of plastic  pumps are developed by composite molding. There are four key techniques  involved, firstly, plastic hydraulic components with light-weight; secondly,  steel barrel as a pump casing and a connection component as well; thirdly,  floating impeller strategy where impeller is drifting freely along shaft; and  lastly, a self balancing impeller technique which can totally keep axial  force balancing. The manufacturing process is energy-saving, and the  components can be recycled, which have great potentials for conservation of  environment.
