Self Priming Chemical Process Pumps

Advanced self-priming chemical process pumps engineered with priming pot systems for automatic operation. Our ANSI/ASME B73.1 compliant pumps eliminate manual priming requirements while handling corrosive chemicals, acids, and aggressive media up to 350°C. Features investment-cast construction in exotic alloys and premium fluoropolymers for maximum reliability in chemical processing applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a self-priming pump work?

A self-priming pump works by maintaining a reservoir of liquid in the casing after initial priming. When started, the impeller creates a partial vacuum that draws air from the suction line while the stored liquid creates a seal. Our priming pot systems enhance this process by providing additional liquid storage and automatic air separation for reliable self-priming capabilities.

What are the disadvantages of self-priming pumps?

Self-priming pumps typically have slightly lower efficiency than standard centrifugal pumps, longer initial priming times, and higher capital costs. However, Chemitek's advanced priming pot systems and optimized hydraulic designs minimize these disadvantages while providing the convenience of automatic operation without manual priming.

What pumps are self-priming?

Chemitek offers self-priming capabilities in both metallic and non-metallic centrifugal pumps through our priming pot systems. Our metallic pumps with investment-cast construction and non-metallic pumps with PolyPrime technology can be configured for self-priming applications in chemical processing industries.

Can you make a pump self-priming?

Yes, Chemitek specializes in converting standard pumps to self-priming configuration through our custom priming pot systems. We offer tailor-made solutions including jacketing, priming pot integration, and specialized impeller designs to meet your specific self-priming requirements for chemical process applications.

What are the maintenance requirements for self-priming chemical process pumps?

Self-priming chemical pumps require regular inspection of priming chambers, mechanical seals, and air release valves. Chemitek pumps are designed for easy maintenance with accessible components and our service team provides comprehensive AMC contracts, preventive maintenance schedules, and spare parts support to ensure optimal performance.

What chemical compatibility options are available for self-priming pumps?

Our self-priming chemical process pumps are available in extensive material options including exotic alloys (titanium, hastelloy, alloy20) for metallic pumps and premium fluoropolymers (PVDF, PFA, FEP) for non-metallic pumps. This ensures compatibility with acids, alkalis, corrosive chemicals, and specialty chemical applications.
