CDR Pumps have recently lanched a wide range of non-metallic self priming pumps, designed specifically for handling toxic, corrosive and agressive chemicals.
CDR Pumps have been manufacturing pumps for the chemical Industry for in excess of 40 years, and have added the specialist pumps to the portfolio as there is a real need for a true chemical handling self priming pump for duties such as tanker unloading, sump emptying effluent treatment plants and bund emptying to name a few.
The units are suitable for priming up to 6 metres of suction lift, with capacities from 1 m3/hr to 40 m3/hr. The self priming capability is achieved by adding to already successfull pumps the STN & ETN pumps which also add magnetic drive couplings for total containment, and also the UCN-BL which is a mechanical seal alternative. Priming pot materials include Polypropylene and PVC at this stage.
“Self priming pumps that can safely handle chemical products are in short supply, with most alternatives being available only in metals, when handling chemicals of course, often these need to be in exotic alloys which are very expesnive. Being a non-metallic pump the majority of common acids can be safely handled by a true chemical process pump with the self priming ability and we already have some interesting applications and field test results that we have trialled these units on. One of our strengths is delivery of heavy duty equipment, and we will very soon be adding some of these pumps to our “ex-stock” catalogue of pumps to meet customer expectations” says Ashley Fenn.
