Sump Pumps

Sump pumps provide a reliable solution for quickly and efficiently emptying process tanks or overflow pits, making them essential for various industrial applications. In metal finishing, where corrosive environments are common, it’s crucial to choose a sump pump designed to resist harsh chemicals and prolonged exposure. Our selection includes lightweight, corrosion-resistant, non-metallic pumps like the BJM PERFECTA® Series, which offer excellent chemical resistance against strong acids and alkalis.

When selecting a sump pump, consider the following:

  • Type of Solution Being Pumped: Ensure that the pump materials are compatible with the chemicals in your process.
  • Volume and Pumping Speed: Choose a pump that can handle the required volume at the necessary speed to maintain efficiency.
  • Distance to be Pumped: Assess the distance the solution needs to travel to ensure the pump can provide adequate head pressure.
  • Replacement Pump Information: If replacing an existing pump, provide the manufacturer and part number for accurate matching.

Replacement Parts

To keep your sump pumps running efficiently and extend their service life, we provide a full range of replacement parts specifically designed for various sump pump models:

Pump Casings: Made from corrosion-resistant materials, these casings protect the internal components from chemical damage and wear. Regular inspection and replacement are key to maintaining pump integrity.

Impellers: Vital for moving fluids through the pump, impellers should be replaced regularly to ensure optimal performance and prevent clogs or reduced flow rates.

Seals and O-rings: These components prevent leaks and ensure the pump operates efficiently. Replace seals and O-rings periodically to avoid leaks and maintain the pump’s reliability.

Motor Assemblies: Including oil-filled motors with internal overload protection, these assemblies are crucial for maintaining the pump’s performance and preventing overheating.

Float Switches: Optional built-in float switches allow for automatic operation, enabling the pump to start and stop based on fluid levels. Replacing worn or faulty switches ensures consistent automatic operation.

Applications of Sump Pumps

Metal Finishing In the metal finishing industry, sump pumps are essential for managing corrosive solutions and ensuring that tanks and pits are emptied efficiently. Pumps like the BJM PERFECTA® Series are specifically designed to handle the harsh chemical environments common in metal finishing, providing reliability and longevity.

Industrial Dewatering Sump pumps are widely used in industrial settings for dewatering applications, including emptying tanks, pits, and flooded areas. Their robust design allows them to handle a variety of fluids, including those containing solids or corrosive chemicals.

Chemical Processing Sump pumps are vital in chemical processing plants for the safe and efficient removal of waste fluids and chemicals. Their corrosion-resistant construction makes them suitable for handling a wide range of aggressive solutions.

Water Treatment In water treatment facilities, sump pumps are used to manage and transfer water and wastewater efficiently. Their ability to handle corrosive chemicals and solids makes them ideal for this demanding application.
