Plastic Pump

Plastic pumps are those types of pumps which are designed to move fluids that would corrode or damage other types of pumps. These type of pumps provide broad chemical resistance. Plastic pumps are also less costly and lighter in weight than metal pumps.

Types of Plastic Pump:

• There are adjustable speed plastic pumps which can operate at speeds selected by an operator.
  
  
• There are continuous duty plastic pumps which maintain performance specifications at 100% duty cycle.
  
  
• Run dry plastic pumps can operate without pumped fluid or external lubrication for an extended period of time.
  
  
• Self-priming plastic pumps are designed to create and maintain a vacuum level that is sufficient to draw fluid into the inlet without external assistance.
  
  
• There are some utility plastic pumps which include a battery backup, pressure gauge, level control device, thermal overload protection, or suction.
  
  
• There are other plastic pumps which are close-coupled, corrosion resistant, multi-stage, reversible, portable, plug-in, or seal less.
  
  
• Sanitary, hygienic, and wash down duty models are also available.
  

Uses and Features of Plastic Pump:

• Important specifications for plastic pumps are maximum discharge flow, maximum discharge pressure, inlet size, discharge size, and media temperature.
  
  
• Power sources for plastic pump include alternating current, direct current, compressed air, gasoline, diesel fuel, hydraulic systems, natural gas, water, and solar energy.
  
  
• There are also motor driven plastic pumps as well as manually powered pumps which rely upon hand or foot power.
  
  
• Plastic pumps are designed in such a way that they can move abrasive materials, acids, adhesives, chemicals, concrete and grout, coolants, hazardous materials, liquid metal or lubricants.
  
  
• There are some other devices that are rated for combustible, corrosive, high viscosity or high-temperature media.
  
  
• Plastic pumps are also used to move
  
  
  • Gasoline
    
  • Diesel fuel
    
  • Oil
    
  • Ground water
    
  • Potable water
    
  • Salt water
    
  • Wastewater
    
  • Sewage
    
  • Sludge
  • Slurry and Ash slurry
  • Gas and Air
  • Powders
  • Solids
  • Rendering Wastes
  • Liquids with Solids
