FINISH THOMPSON PF SERIES DRUM PUMP MODEL PFM-40 FOR PUMPING CLEANING PRODUCTS

Michael Smith Engineers Ltd have supplied pumps for some of the most challenging and unusual applications in the UK. However, even ostensibly simple applications need a pump that is reliable and effective. One such application is transferring a chemical between containers.

It was for this very application that we were contacted recently by Purdy & Figg, a producer of eco-friendly cleaning products. All Purdy & Figg products are non-toxic, naturally scented and manufactured in their factory in the UK.

Their requirement was for the transfer of raw materials, such as surfactants, from a bulk container into their production area. The obvious solution for us was a Finish Thompson drum pump. In this case the PFM-40 high performance model in polypropylene with stainless-steel shaft. The pump was supplied with the M5V 230 volt, single phase, variable speed motor, that allows control of transfer speed. The use of a drum pump reduces the risk of manual handling injuries or chemical spillage.
