Doing whatever it takes.
The Ross team provides tough pumps for tough applications!
If you need it, Team Ross has it!
PROBLEM/SOLUTION:
A global automotive plating company with operations in Eastern Kentucky needed some rugged pumps for a rinse water application that would be required to handle a mixture of aggressive chemicals.
The existing pumps in service couldn’t hold up to the various chemicals present in the rinse water. After review of the application, the R.A. Ross team had the perfect solution in mind; the Vanton® Chem-Gard® ANSI centrifugal pump with PVDF (Kynar) wetted materials with clean water flush to protect the seal.
Wet end components of Vanton CHEM-GARD® centrifugal pumps are injection molded of corrosion resistant polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene (ECTFE) or other non-metallic materials that are 100% inert to the fluids being handled across the entire pH range. This eliminates the corrosion and failure associated with pumps constructed of stainless steel and other alloys, the wicking associated with fiberglass pump components and the delaminating inherent with plastic-lined metal pumps.
