Australian Fluid Handling


Australian Fluid Handling (AFH) is one of Australia’s leading providers of customized and engineered compressors,pumps and skid packaged equipment. Vaunting over 13 year of experience, we supply an extensive range ofreciprocating and centrifugal compressors to local and international businesses.
A compressor is a machine that squeezes a gas into a smaller volume and pumps it somewhere else at the same time. Centrifugal compressors are those types of compressors in which the airflow is radial—air flows to the center of the impeller and is slung outward by the centrifugal force into the diffuser, where its velocity is decreased and its pressure increased. Due to continuous flow in compressor, centrifugal compressors need to be of much higher capacity & hence designed in the same manner. The basic function of centrifugal compressor is to convert angular momentum by rotating impeller to produce high pressure discharge. Centrifugal compressors rotate at higher speeds than the other types of compressors. Compressors generally work only on gases. That's because liquids are very difficult to compress. But Centrifugal compressors are designed such, so that it can be used to move liquids.

 AFH  range of centrifugal pumps are positive displacement and specialty pumps and systems are key components in the worldwide oil and gas, hydrocarbon and chemical processing, power generation and water resources industries as well as the general process and industrial marketplace. A centrifugal pump converts mechanical energy from a motor to energy of a moving fluid; some of the energy goes into kinetic energy of fluid motion, and some into potential energy, represented by a fluid pressure or by lifting the fluid against gravity to a higher level.

Diaphragm pumps is simply a pump that moves fluid. It is also known as membrane pumps. These types of compressors are quite popular across a wide variety of industries. From jackhammers to air conditioners, all kinds of machines use compressors to move liquids and gases from place to place & AFH is specialized in developing huge range of compressors.

AFH also supplies wide range of Centrifugal pumps, seal support system & Diaphragm Metering Pump. Businesses are able to make use of their efficient pumping for applications such as distilling, transporting oil, processing food and beverage, and repair and maintenance in the automobile and aircraft industries. Not only that, but they are also a go-to unit for the transportation of coarse fluids and extreme chemicals. They are known for their ability to effectively handle a wide variety of fluids and degrees of viscosity. AFH range of pumps is some of the most versatile pumps in the market today.
