How to keep a water pump from rusting?
To prevent pump rusting, use corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel (SS316L), exotic alloys, or fluoropolymers. Chemitek's transfer pumps feature investment-cast construction in premium materials, protective coatings, proper drainage systems, and regular maintenance protocols to eliminate corrosion and ensure long-lasting operation in corrosive environments.
Which pump is used for corrosive fluid?
Centrifugal pumps with corrosion-resistant materials are ideal for corrosive fluids. Chemitek offers metallic pumps in titanium, hastelloy, and exotic alloys for extreme applications, and non-metallic pumps in PVDF, PFA, and FEP for superior chemical resistance up to 210°C, both ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant for reliable transfer operations.
How long can I leave a transfer pump running?
Industrial transfer pumps are designed for continuous operation, typically running 24/7 in process applications. Chemitek's corrosion-resistant transfer pumps feature heavy-duty construction, advanced mechanical seals, and robust bearing systems enabling extended runtime with proper maintenance, cooling, and monitoring systems in place.
What's the difference between a booster pump and a transfer pump?
Transfer pumps move fluids between locations or tanks, while booster pumps increase pressure in existing systems. Chemitek's corrosion-resistant transfer pumps are specifically designed for moving corrosive chemicals and aggressive media with flow rates up to 1400 m³/hr, featuring specialized materials and construction for reliable fluid transfer applications.
What materials are best for corrosion-resistant transfer pumps?
Premium materials include stainless steel grades (316L, duplex), exotic alloys (hastelloy, titanium, alloy20), and fluoropolymers (PVDF, PFA, FEP). Chemitek's investment-cast metallic pumps and fluoropolymer non-metallic pumps offer superior corrosion resistance, with material selection based on specific chemical compatibility and operating conditions.
How do I maintain a corrosion-resistant transfer pump for maximum lifespan?
Regular maintenance includes mechanical seal inspection, bearing lubrication, impeller clearance checks, vibration monitoring, and chemical compatibility verification. Chemitek provides comprehensive maintenance protocols, genuine spare parts, AMC services, and technical support to ensure optimal performance and extended operational life of corrosion-resistant transfer pumps.
