Introduction
In industries that handle corrosive or hazardous chemicals, choosing the right pump is critical for ensuring safety, operational efficiency, and long-term reliability. Vertical chemical pumps are designed specifically for such environments, combining durability, performance, and space-saving designs.
Asia Pump (M) Sdn Bhd offers the AS Series Vertical Chemical Pumps, a reliable solution for chemical transfer, wastewater treatment, electroplating, and more. These pumps are engineered to handle aggressive fluids safely and efficiently, with different models to suit various operational requirements.
What is a Vertical Chemical Pump?
A vertical chemical pump is a type of centrifugal pump designed to move corrosive liquids from tanks, sumps, or reservoirs. Unlike horizontal pumps, the vertical orientation allows installation directly into the chemical tank, saving floor space and simplifying the pumping system.
Key functional features include:
- Pump Column: Supports the vertical shaft and impeller, allowing submerged operation.
- Impeller: Designed for efficient fluid transfer with minimal turbulence.
- Pump Casing: Made from corrosion-resistant materials like FRPP or PVDF for aggressive chemicals.
- Motor: Typically mounted at the top of the pump, transmitting power via a vertical shaft.
