Polypropylene Pumps
Our polypropylene pumps, also widely referred to as PP pumps, are non-metallic centrifugal pumps engineered specifically for handling corrosive and chemically aggressive fluids that would cause rapid degradation of metallic pump components. Manufactured at our Ahmedabad, Gujarat production facility, these pumps deliver long service life, minimal maintenance requirements and consistently reliable performance in the most chemically demanding process plant environments.
Key Features and Benefits of Propeller Pumps PP Pump Range
Our polypropylene pump range is designed to deliver tangible operational and financial benefits to plant operators in corrosive service environments. Long service life with minimum maintenance requirements reduces the total cost of pump ownership over the installation lifetime, as polypropylene is highly resistant to both chemical attack and abrasive wear in the fluid handling applications for which these pumps are specified.
The non-metallic construction eliminates the risk of fluid contamination from corrosion products, which is a critical requirement in pharmaceutical, food grade and high purity chemical applications. Seamless performance across the duty range, combined with the inherent chemical resistance of the PP material, means that our pumps maintain their hydraulic efficiency throughout their service life without the progressive performance degradation that affects metallic pumps subject to corrosive attack.
The vivid range of PP pump models available from Propeller Pumps covers every possible high flow, low head pumping requirement involving corrosive or chemically aggressive fluids. No competitive or substitute pumping solution is needed when our PP pump range is correctly specified for the application.
Polypropylene Pump Applications in Chemical and Process Industries
Our polypropylene pumps and PP chemical process pumps are specified and installed across a wide range of corrosive fluid handling duties in multiple industries.
In dye and chemical manufacturing, our PP pumps handle concentrated hydrochloric acid transfer from road tankers, filter press feed for dye and chemical filtration, and scrubbing of corrosive gases including chlorine, bromine, fluorine, sulphur dioxide, sulphur trioxide, carbon dioxide and ammonia.
In metal treatment and electroplating operations, our polypropylene pumps circulate pickling and etching solutions in steel rolling mill descaling operations, handle electroplating bath chemicals and manage acid based surface treatment liquids where metallic pump construction would be unacceptable.
In effluent and water treatment, our PP pumps transfer and recirculate chemically aggressive treatment streams through effluent treatment plant process stages, ensuring reliable fluid movement in environments where pH extremes and aggressive chemical content are standard operating conditions.
