Chemical transfer pumps

Introduction to Chemical transfer pumps

Chemical pumps are specialized devices used to safely dispense and transfer chemicals, volatile solvents, or flammable liquids from cans, drums, and carboys to smaller containers. The equipment helps control liquid flow, prevent leaks, and minimize the risk of direct user exposure to hazardous chemicals in laboratories and production facilities.

When selecting a chemical pump, users must determine the chemical compatibility of wetted materials such as PP, PVDF, V2A stainless steel, or Ultrapure PTFE with the pumped liquid, such as acetone, ethanol, or toluene. Depending on the container specifications and operational needs, users can choose hand-operated pumps, hands-free foot pumps, battery-operated pumps, or solvent extraction systems with stopcocks, featuring immersion tube lengths from 36cm to 95cm and diameters from 12mm to 18mm. Currently, Hoa Viet distributes chemical pumps from Burkle (Germany).

What factors should be considered when choosing materials for chemical transfer pumps?

Users should evaluate chemical corrosiveness and compatibility to select suitable materials such as PP, PVDF, V2A stainless steel, or Ultrapure PTFE. Selecting the right material prevents equipment deformation while avoiding sample contamination.

What are the advantages of foot-operated solvent pumps compared to hand pumps?

The foot-operated mechanism leaves both of the operator's hands free to hold the discharge tube and secure the sample container, facilitating more precise flow guidance. This design also increases the distance between the operator and the opening of containers with volatile solvents.

Which brands of chemical transfer pumps does Hoa Viet supply?

Hoa Viet currently supplies chemical transfer pumps, gas-tight barrel pumps, and solvent pumps from Burkle (Germany). Customers can Contact us for advice on suitable equipment and to Request a quote.

When should gas-tight barrel pumps be used?

Gas-tight barrel pumps are suitable when dispensing hazardous chemicals or highly volatile solvents to prevent chemical vapors from escaping into the surrounding environment. This equipment helps protect operators and reduces fluid loss during storage and handling.
