Portability is a popular request for operators seeking a versatile, multi-purpose pump. Global Pumps outline the different options for portable chemical transfer pumps, with each option suitable for the harshest of chemical applications. 

Did you know that the anticipated temperature of the medium being pumped and the environment the pump will be in, are two critical components in the pump selection process? Understanding these will ensure you select appropriate materials of construction and most importantly, the correct pump.

Laboratory pumps demand precise dosing, metering or the safe transfer of liquids, as well as a gentle pumping action. Given the nature of the products being pumped, the pump's characteristics are critical to ensure the integrity of the delicate product. 

A chemical air pump is a popular choice for transferring chemicals, acids and other hazardous fluids, thanks to their leak-free operation and diverse range of compatible materials. Before selecting a chemical pump, Global Pumps recommends assessing your liquids characteristics and ensuring the pump’s construction suits your application..

Air diaphragm pumps (AOD), also referred to as pneumatic pumps, are a suitable option for a wide range of industries, particularly the food and beverage industry. Their rugged construction, leak-free operation and variable flow and discharge pressures offer operators reliable and safe pumping. 

Verderflex offer a wide variety of quality, reliable peristaltic hose pumps. These pumps offer the ideal solution for difficult to pump liquids, abrasive, viscous or solids laden slurries, dosing chemicals and gentle transferring of fragile cell cultures.

Sanitary peristaltic hose pumps are commonly used in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries due to their contamination-free fluid transfer capabilities. However, there are additional benefits that sanitary peristaltic hose pumps offer operators. 

Self-priming centrifugal pumps can be utilised in any application that standard centrifugal pumps are applied, but what makes them different is their ability to self-prime.

Hand-Operated Drum Pumps, sometimes referred to as manual drum pumps, are a safe and convenient drum pump suitable for emptying drums and containers. These pumps are generally more cost-effective, as there is no motor attached, and they require the operator to create the ‘pumping’ action.

Mine sites demand durability and reliability above all else for critical equipment such as pumps. Besides this, it is important that these pumps can handle the arduous nature of the pumped liquid.
