Chemical pumps are made of corrosion-resistant materials to enable them to process commercial and industrial abrasives, chemicals and corrosive liquids. Just as the word “chemical” is a very broad-based term, the uses for a chemical pump are very diverse as well.
Chemical Pumps
Chemical centrifugal pumps use rotating impellers to add velocity to the liquid they are pumping. Within the pump, the velocity of the liquid is generated by centrifugal force. Chemical pumps are used for chemicals that are water-like in viscosity and when the quantities of flow are large compared to the pressure requirements.
When it comes to the need to pump adhesives, bleach, coatings, chromic acid, fuel, oil, paint, resin, salt water, solvent, etc. from a container to a transfer station or to the point of application, a chemical pump can be used. Different types of chemical pumps are available for different particular purposes. Because they need to be able to handle corrosive chemicals or solution process temperatures, chemical pumps are usually constructed from thermoplastics or metal.
