Pump for aggressive fluids
July 1st 2007 Portable drum and barrel emptying
pumps are a simple and effective
device for transferring a wide range
of fluids from tanks, drums, barrels
and IBCs. Michael Smith
Engineers has recently added a
new lower cost option to its range
of drum pumps, the Finish
Thompson PFM pump. The pump
features a (316) stainless steel
shaft as opposed to the standard
PFP (with alloy 625 shaft).
Research indicated that around
50% of all PF drum pumps are
used for transferring neutral or
mildly corrosive fluids, so the new
stainless steel shaft model is a
lower cost option which is suitable
for pumping fluids which are not
especially corrosive or reactive.
The sealless, high performance
portable PFM pump can be
supplied with an impact resistant
electric motor contained within a
durable, Polypropylene moulded
housing. This incorporates an
integral comfort grip handle which
provides operators easy access to
the on/off switch. Air motors are
also available. More articles from Michael Smith Engineers Ltd: |
