Chemical Pumps
Buy Chemical Pumps
Chemical Pumps are a specialised buy for industrial, agricultural, water treatment, and mining applications where corrosive, aggressive, or sensitive liquids need to be transferred safely and reliably. Standard water pumps are not designed for chemical service — wetted components must be matched to the specific liquid to prevent corrosion, seal failure, and contamination. Wenbro stocks Chemical Pumps with appropriate material specifications for a range of chemical transfer applications. For general water transfer, our Water Pumps cover standard site requirements, and for high-pressure applications, our High Pressure Washers and Jetting Machines are available as purpose-built options. All units are maintained in-house.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of chemicals can Chemical Pumps handle?
Chemical Pumps can be specified for acids, alkalis, solvents, fertilisers, water treatment chemicals, and industrial process fluids — provided the pump body, impeller, and seals are compatible with the specific chemical. Always confirm material compatibility before purchase or use.
Why can’t a standard water pump be used for chemical transfer?
Standard Water Pumps use cast iron, bronze, and standard elastomer seals that are not resistant to corrosive chemicals. Using the wrong pump leads to rapid component corrosion, seal degradation, liquid contamination, and potential safety hazards from leaks or pump failure.
What materials are Chemical Pumps typically made from?
Common materials include stainless steel, polypropylene, PVDF, and fibreglass-reinforced plastic for pump bodies, with PTFE, Viton, or EPDM seals. The right combination depends on the liquid, concentration, and operating temperature. Contact Wenbro on 087 073 7777 for specification advice.
Are Chemical Pumps suitable for agricultural fertiliser and chemical transfer?
Yes — Chemical Pumps are widely used for liquid fertilisers, herbicides, and pesticides in agricultural applications. Correct material selection is critical as many agricultural chemicals are corrosive to standard pump materials. The Wenbro team can confirm the right specification for your specific products.
Does Wenbro service Chemical Pumps after purchase?
Yes — Chemical Pumps purchased through Wenbro are supported by in-house servicing with particular attention to seal condition and wetted component integrity. Regular inspection is strongly recommended given the consequences of seal failure on chemical service. Call 087 073 7777.
