Flotronic Pumps has set its sights
firmly on the low-end aggressive
chemical duty range market with the
launch of its new ‘Minichem’ pump.

Leighton Jones, director of
technical sales and service,
says: “The Minichem is a
totally new pump which,
though based on our existing
‘one-nut’ air operated double
diaphragm pump design, is
machined from one solid block
of PTFE, removing the need
for an outer steel or carbon
casing and for separate
manifolds.”
Able to transfer aggressive
chemicals and other hazardous
materials at low 50 and 100L flow
rates through 1/2 and 1in
connections, the absence of separate
manifolds means the Minichem has
no manifold seals and therefore no
obvious leak paths.

Jones continues: “Minichem
maintenance need only focus on
‘One-Nut’ disassembly and on the
ball valves only when necessary.”
