Centrifugal Polypropylene Pump
The MK FLOW Centrifugal Polypropylene Pump is a corrosion-resistant, non-metallic pump designed for safely handling aggressive chemicals, acids, and alkalis. Constructed entirely from high-grade polypropylene (PP) or glass-filled polypropylene, this pump offers excellent resistance to chemical attack, making it a preferred choice in chemical industries and wastewater treatment.
⚙️ Working Principle
This is a single-stage, end suction centrifugal pump where a dynamically balanced impeller rotates at high speed to generate centrifugal force, pushing the fluid from the suction inlet to the discharge outlet. The polypropylene construction ensures resistance to corrosive fluids without the need for metal components.
