Chemical Transfer
Selecting the correct pump for chemical transfer is a matter of both safety and productivity. The wrong materials of construction, the wrong seal type, or an undersized pump can result in chemical leaks, premature pump failure, workplace hazards, and environmental incidents. Pump Power Australia supplies chemical transfer pumps with the chemical compatibility, seal integrity, and material certifications your application demands — backed by our experienced technical team.
Pump Types for Chemical Transfer
- Magnetic drive pumps — completely seal-free, zero leakage — the safest choice for toxic, corrosive, or high-value chemical fluids. Available in ETFE, PVDF, polypropylene, and stainless steel.
- Air operated diaphragm (AOD) pumps — no electricity required, inherently safe in hazardous areas, handles highly corrosive fluids without damage.
- Centrifugal pumps — in corrosion-resistant alloys or lined construction for high-flow, lower-viscosity chemical transfer.
- Gear pumps — for precise metering and transfer of viscous chemicals, resins, and adhesives.
Chemical Compatibility Considerations
- Wetted materials — pump casing, impeller, shaft, and seal materials must be chemically compatible with the fluid
- Seal type — single, double, or sealless (magnetic drive) depending on hazard level
- Temperature and concentration — both affect material compatibility and seal selection
- ATEX/IECEx hazardous area classification — required for flammable chemical environments
