In daily life, the pumps we encounter are mostly devices used for transporting clean water or domestic water. However, in chemical plants, pharmaceutical factories, and electronics factories, the substances that need to be transported are often strong acids, strong bases, and corrosive liquids. At this time, ordinary metal pumps simply cannot handle it. Therefore, a special type of pump has emerged – the plastic PP chemical magnetic pump.
What is a plastic PP chemical magnetic pump?
This type of pump has two key features:
PP (Polypropylene) plastic: The pump body is made of polypropylene material, which has good corrosion resistance and insulation properties.
Magnetic drive: The pump transmits power through a magnetic coupling, eliminating the need for traditional pumps’ mechanical seals, thus achieving “no leakage” transportation.
In other words, the plastic PP chemical magnetic pump is a chemical pump made of corrosion-resistant plastic and driven by magnetism.
Why use it?
In chemical transportation, the biggest problems are corrosion and leakage.
Metal pumps are prone to corrosion by strong acids and strong bases, and have a short service life.
Pumps with seals often leak due to seal failure, which not only wastes raw materials but may also pollute the environment.
However, the plastic PP chemical magnetic pump can effectively solve these problems:
Corrosion resistance: The PP material can resist most acid and alkali media.
No leakage: Magnetic drive has replaced mechanical seals, effectively eliminating the possibility of liquid leakage.
More environmentally friendly: Avoid leakage and reduce the impact on the operating environment.
Where can it be used?
The plastic PP chemical magnetic pump is mainly used in industries that require corrosion-resistant transportation:
Chemical plant: Conveys liquids such as hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc.
Electroplating industry: for circulating electroplating solutions and etching solutions.
Environmental protection engineering: treating acidic and alkaline wastewater.
Electronic and semiconductor industry: transporting ultra-pure liquid solutions.
Pharmaceutical industry: used in the production and transportation of some liquid medications.
It can be said that almost all occasions where corrosive liquids need to be transported cannot do without this type of pump.
What should be noted when using it?
Although the plastic PP chemical magnetic pump has outstanding performance, when using it, still need to pay attention to:
Avoid idling: running the pump without liquid will burn the bearings.
Temperature limit: PP material is suitable for a temperature range of 0-80℃. If the temperature exceeds this range, other materials (such as PVDF) need to be selected.
Medium particles: suitable for clean liquids. If containing particles, a filtering device should be added.
Summary
The plastic PP chemical magnetic pump is a safe, environmentally friendly, and corrosion-resistant conveying equipment. It has greatly improved the safety and reliability of chemical production. Athough this type of pump does not appear in daily life, it silently guarantees the operation of many industries such as the electronic products we use daily and medicines.
