Vertical Spindle CorroPump
The VS series vertical spindle pump has a specialised role in chemical pumping. Because this pump operates with its volute and impeller immersed directly in the supply or process tank it is often the most convenient method of achieving NPSHR in challenging applicaitons. The absence of a mechanical seal means that the VS will happily run without product, making it particularly convenient for those processes in which it is difficult to guarantee reliable process fluid supply. This feature can even be utilised to advantage in those circumstances where top access to a tank is not available, by side-mounted hard-piping of the pump to the tank at an appropriate level. This unit is, of course, produced with all wetted components in our thermosetting synthetic resin materials and is available in a useful range of sizes.
- Broadest range of chemical resistance for full operational coverage
- Suitable for process temperatures from -20°C to +140°C
- Excellent strength and hardness, resistant to erosion in chemical slurries
- Non-sparking and non-galling, beneficial in solvent applications
- Does not support bacterial growth and can be steam sterilised
- Relatively low mass reduces component weight
- Low vibration and noise due to inherent attenuating properties of resin
- Low cost when compared with exotic metals and advanced thermoplastics
- Fume scrubbing
- Chemical manufacturing and processing
- Fertiliser manufacture
- Metal refining
