These quality built end suction thermoplastic pumps with centerline discharge and back pullout construction, combine the award winning wide open seal area features of our innovative CHEM-GARD® line of thermoplastic pumps with the standard dimensional and performance characteristics embodied in ANSI specification B73.1. They are fully interchangeable with any other pump manufactured to this specification without disturbing piping, baseplate, foundation, driver or coupling. At the same time, they incorporate thermoplastic construction offering complete resistance to the most corrosive, abrasive and other aggressive fluids.

The pump casing and impeller are molded from solid, homogeneous thermoplastics. The casing and flanges are armored with structural metal in order to accept the same nozzle loading as metal pumps while limiting fluid contact exclusively to non-metallic components.

The adjustable sliding inboard bearing design provides for quick and easy mechanical seal inspection while at the same time it minimizes impeller overhang and shaft deflection at higher critical speeds prolonging seal life. The open seal area accommodates most commercial seals including single, double, cartridge and balanced arrangements.

Optional features are available for control and safe operation including leak detection, temperature monitoring within the pump, and run-dry protection.

MATERIALS OF CONSTRUCTION

Rugged homogeneous thermoplastic pump components assure dependable performance No metal is ever in contact with the fluids being pumped. The wetted end of the stainless steel shaft is sleeved in thick sectioned thermoplastic material. The homogeneous structure of Vanton thermoplastics minimizes the possibility of chemical absorption and eliminates the danger of bleeding or wicking commonly associated with fiberglass reinforced thermoset pumps. Heavy sectioned independent molded components avoid porosity and separation problems that tend to occur with lined pumps. With proper flushing, these thermoplastic pumps can be used for any other compatible service without fear of contamination.

APPLICATIONS

Vanton thermoplastic pumps are ideal for handling the broad range of corrosive, hazardous, toxic and other aggressive fluids used throughout the processing and manufacturing industries, in utilities, and in industrial and municipal water/wastewater treatment facilities. These fluids include: chemicals, biochemicals and pharmaceuticals, foods, mining slurries, pure water for semiconductor wafer fabrication, electroplating formulas, pickling liquors, paper/pulp bleaches, industrial and municipal noxious odors, sea water in fisheries and aquariums, and
