Vertical Pumps
Vertical pumps are essential in metal finishing processes, providing effective solution agitation and filtration to enhance the quality of surface finishes. By moving fresh solution across the surface of the parts, vertical pumps improve cleaning, pickling, and plating speed, resulting in superior surface quality. Additionally, combining solution movement with filtration helps remove suspended particles, extending the service life of chemical solutions.
When selecting a vertical pump, consider the following:
- Solution Movement Requirements: Determine the level of agitation needed for your specific application.
- Filtration Needs: If filtering, specify the desired turnover rate and micron rating for optimal performance.
- Material Compatibility: Ensure that the pump’s materials of construction are compatible with the chemicals used in your process.
- Voltage and Phase: Choose the appropriate pump based on your facility’s voltage and phase availability.
