Thermoplastic vortex pump head handles solids-laden acids and caustics
The Vanton Pump and equipment company of New Jersey USA is promoting its SGV Vortex pump head for its Vanton SUMP-GARD®vertical thermoplastic pumps.
These pumps handle fluids and slurries containing stringy materials or solids to 51 mm in diameter.They are of solid thermoplastic construction of all wetted components allows corrosion-free,abrasion-resistant handling of acids,caustics and a wide range of solids-laden wastes at temperatures to 135°C.
Further,the SGV Vortex pump head features a recessed,dynamically balanced,clog-free impeller,allowing solids to pass through the pump without blockage,and is offered on Vanton SG Series sump pumps for depths to 6.1 m,and SGK cantilevered bearingless run-dry pumps for depths to 1.2 m.
All fluid-contact components of the pump are available in abrasion-resistant polypropylene(PP),polyvinyl chloride(PVC),chlorinated polyvinyl chloride(CPVC)or polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF),which are chemically inert to the corrosive fluids they are specified to handle,unlike metallic components.
The heavy-duty stainless steel shaft is fully isolated from the fluid by a thick-sectioned thermoplastic sleeve,eliminating metal contact with the pumped fluid.
