Steel Industry

Fit for the harshest service environments
Non-metallic pumps are finding growing application in the metal finishing industry. As opposed to metallic construction materials, engineering plastics offer virtually universal chemical resistance. Thanks to intensive hydraulic research efforts in recent years, design-inherent weaknesses such as low pump efficiencies have been overcome. If service temperature limitations are observed and proper protection against dry running is provided non-metallic pumps are the ideal solution for pumping aggressive and abrasive media.

In metal finishing applications, the seal design is all-decisive for reliable pump operation. The majority of the fluids pumped in such applications carry solids loads, are abrasive and tend to crystallize. Taken together, these factors make exacting demands on the seal design.
Typical shaft seals used in such service environments are single or double mechanical seals.

MUNSCH pumps have demonstrated reliable operation in the following applications:

Carbon steel and stainless steel pickling lines
Galvanizing plants
Pickle liquor regeneration systems

Chemical process industries

Your problem is our challenge
Non-metallic pumps are widely used in the chemical process industries. As against metallic construction materials, engineering plastics offer virtually universal chemical resistance. Thanks to intensive hydraulic research efforts in recent years, design-inherent weaknesses such as low pump efficiencies have been overcome.

Non-metallic pumps are the ideal solution for pumping aggressive and abrasive media.
Magnetically coupled chemical centrifugal pumps constructed from PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) are the solution of choice whenever it comes to pumping pure to slightly contaminated, toxic, explosive or environmentally harmful media such as acids, alkalis and solvents. No other pump offers better corrosion resistance.

MUNSCH pumps offer maximum operating reliability in many CPI applications:

Pharmaceutical industry
Biotechnology
Bulk chemicals production
Fine chemicals production

Heavy Duty

Munsch REA-C mechanical seal:
The sealing principle of the stationary mechanical seal originally developed for flue gas cleaning applications has meanwhile become successfully established in heavy-duty applications.

Apart from the special requirements resulting from abrasive solids loads and the crystallization tendency of the fluid pumped, the selection of the mechanical seal is governed by the corrosive nature of the fluids encountered in industrial waste gas cleaning applications.

MUNSCH pumps have demonstrated their excellence for decades in the following applications:

Flue gas cleanup
Industrial waste water treatment
Exhaust air purification

Mineral processing industry

There are applications where you wouldn’t expect non-metallic pumps. A typical example is the ore digestion process.

MUNSCH non-metallic pumps have demonstrated excellent performance in this application due, above all, to their robust design. Flushing options for the mechanical seal open the door to reliable operation in arduous service environments.

When there is no access to an industrial infrastructure, it must be possible to resort to unconventional methods for pump repair. Here, the ease of assembly and disassembly of MUNSCH pumps is a major asset.
