PLASTIC PUMPS FOR ACIDS AND ALKALIS

Acids, alkalis and detergents can be safely handled by plastic pumps made from PP or PVDF. Bürkle offers many plastic pumps with both rigid discharge pipes and also with discharge tubing and shut-off valve for filling distant or higher standing containers. When handling corrosive or aggressive liquids the user should take appropriate precautions. Protective clothing such as gloves, goggles, aprons and face masks is essential.

We recognise the health hazard posed by harmful vapours, and the importance of the correct choice of pump. Apart from the type and size of the container, the required pump capacity and the suitability of the pump for the particular medium are important for the choice of the most suitable product. The pump must not only be resistant to the medium to be filled, but in many cases particular occupational safety and environmental protection regulations must also be taken into consideration.
