FINISH THOMPSON UC SERIES MODELS UC1516A, UC1516L, UC2110, UC1518 AND UC328 FOR PUMPING CHEMICALS

The problem is you need to pump a variety of harsh chemicals. Hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, polyaluminium chloride, sodium hydroxide to name but a few. To add to the problem, you need more than one or two pumps, you need twenty-five!

You need these pumps to be safe.

You need these pumps to be reliable.

You need these pumps to be able to handle ALL these chemicals, and you need standardisation.

The solution, for those who know these things, is simple. The Ultrachem UC series heavy duty mag-drive pumps from Finish Thompson. The UC series is designed to handle the most challenging chemistries. The powerful neodymium inner magnets are completely encased in ETFE for ultimate corrosion protection. The magnetic drive system means leak-free operation and no mechanical seals to service. All the pumps follow a standard design which coupled with universality of some parts reduces maintenance costs.

The pumps supplied were in five sizes, all ETFE lined ductile iron casing close coupled to WEG 2 pole motors. Delivering 2- 50 m³/hr at up to 9 bar differential pressure. All pumps were assembled in our workshop and delivered within less than two months.
