Chemical Pumps

In order to easily handle fluids that can be potentially volatile, the areas of chemical pumps that come in contact with their fluids are usually designed with metallic or non-metallic properties that resist corrosion. For further resistance, they are safeguarded by a surface coating that is typically made of enamel, plastic or rubber with similar protective qualities.

Chemical pumps use shaft seals to stop any of the pump fluid from existing the unit while in an operating mode or passive mode. The versatility of mechanical shaft seal options can see them as being single or double with hydrodynamic seals being popular in painting environments. Chemical pumps can also exist without seals with magnetic coupling or canned motor variants as replacement options.

Chemical pumps have specific options available for style and stage. Besides horizontal and vertical style installations, they can also integrated with tanks in a submersible design. Where stages are concerned, most chemical pumps are single stage but can also have two stages if needed.
