AD Series Self-Priming Acid and Alkaline Resistant Pump Catalogue
What is a self-priming chemical pump and how does it work?
A self-priming chemical pump is designed to automatically remove air from the suction line and start pumping without manual filling. It is commonly used for acid, alkali, and corrosive chemical transfer in industrial systems.
What chemicals can this pump handle safely?
It can handle a wide range of corrosive liquids such as acids and alkalis, depending on the material used (GFRPP, PVDF, CFRETFE). These materials are selected to resist chemical corrosion and extend pump lifespan.
What is the maximum flow rate and performance?
For models like the AD-40022L, typical performance includes:
- Flow capacity up to around 280–300 L/min
- Head up to about 17–18 meters
This makes it suitable for medium-duty industrial chemical transfer systems.
Can it run dry or handle air in the pipe?
Yes, self-priming pumps are designed to handle air in the system during startup. Some models also include dry-run protection and shaft seal cooling design to reduce damage risk.
What industries commonly use this pump in Malaysia?
It is widely used in:
- Electroplating plants
- Wastewater treatment systems
- Chemical manufacturing
- Surface treatment industries
- Scrubber and filtration systems
What is the suction height capability?
Most self-priming chemical pumps can lift liquid from a low tank or sump, typically around 7–9 meters suction lift capability, depending on installation and piping conditions.
What maintenance is required for long-term use?
Basic maintenance includes:
- Checking mechanical seal condition
- Cleaning check valve and suction line
- Ensuring no dry-running for long periods
- Periodic inspection of corrosion-resistant parts
Proper maintenance helps extend pump lifespan significantly in chemical environments.
