Acid, Alkali & Corrosive Chemicals

Selection for acids, alkalis, and solvent-containing fluids depends on the actual composition and operating conditions. Confirm compatibility using chemical identity, concentration, and temperature before choosing a material package.

Explore Acids & Alkalis

Chemical identity, concentration, solvent mix, and temperature.
Compatibility requirements for rotors, casing, seals, and O-rings.
Required flow, pressure, suction conditions, and seal-cooling needs.

Adhesives, Primers & Paints

Adhesives, primers, and paints can differ in viscosity, shear sensitivity, and curing behavior. Review transfer speed, temperature, and time in the pump against the actual formulation.

Explore Adhesives & Paints

Viscosity at startup and operating temperature.
Shear sensitivity, curing behavior, and cleaning requirements.
Required flow, pressure, seal compatibility, and drive torque.

Soap, Detergent & Heated Food Processing

Soaps, detergents, waxes, and some heated food products can thicken or solidify as they cool. Review preheating, temperature control, and startup conditions before choosing a pump package.

Explore Heated Products

Product temperature range and behavior during cooling.
Heating method, preheat sequence, and thermal clearances.
Material, seal, and cleaning requirements for the actual product.

High-Consistency Pulp & Paper

Paper pulp transfer can involve variable fiber consistency, grit, and entrained air. Review the fiber and solids profile alongside suction feeding and wear-part access.

Explore Pulp & Paper

Pulp consistency, fiber length, and any upstream screening.
Grit content, abrasive material, and rotor or liner selection.
Required flow, pressure, inlet conditions, and drive torque.
