What is “Dead Head” and “Cavitation” and why are they bad?
For many years, IWAKI has focused on eliminating the consequences of “abnormal operating conditions” also known as ‘Dead Head and ‘Cavitation’. We have developed and patented several good solutions for these serious issues.
“Abnormal operating conditions” can be harmful to a pump and lead to expensive downtime, no matter if the pump has magnetic drive (like IWAKI pumps) or if it is a traditional pump with shaft seals.
