Vertical Polypropylene Pump
The MK FLOW Vertical Polypropylene Pump is a chemically resistant, non-metallic pump designed to handle corrosive, abrasive, and acidic fluids with high efficiency. Built with polypropylene (PP) or PVDF construction, this vertical sump-type pump is ideal for use in chemical process tanks, pickling lines, effluent treatment plants, and acid handling systems.
⚙️ Working Principle
The pump operates as a vertical centrifugal pump, with the impeller submerged in the fluid and the motor mounted above the tank. It requires no mechanical seal, making it leak-proof and ideal for corrosive environments. The pump draws fluid directly from a tank or pit, with minimal risk of leakage or mechanical failure.
