Tank Cart Handles Wastewater and Caustic Chemicals

Nov. 14, 2011
Vanton's Mobile Pump/Tank Cart is made of solid, homogeneous thermoplastics and elastomers that are 100% inert, eliminating corrosion and ionization associated with metal pumps.
A new non-metallic, Mobile Pump/Tank Cart from Vanton Pump and Equipment Corp. transfers wastewater and caustic/acidic chemicals with no corrosion, and ultrapure fluids with no contamination.All fluid contact surfaces of the tank, base plate, and secondary containment chamber are of solid polypropylene, polyethylene, PVC or other inert thermoplastic, precluding chemical attack across the entire pH range.The pump, a Flex-I-Liner model CC-PY12B, utilizes a rotor mounted on an eccentric shaft to push fluid trapped between a flexible elastomer liner and a solid thermoplastic body block at flows to 2 gpm (7.6 lpm), pressures to 25 psig (1.72 bar) and temperatures to 185°F (85°C).The rigid body block is molded of solid polypropylene, UHMW polyethylene, or PTFE, and the flexible liner of natural rubber, neoprene, Hypalon, Viton or Nordel, eliminating corrosion and ionization associated with metal pumps.
