Surface Technology

Surface treatment processes place high demands on conveying technology because aggressive chemicals, corrosive media, and sensitive coatings must be handled safely. Precise dosing and clean filling ensure process quality in electroplating, cleaning, and finishing. FLUX drum pumps, eccentric screw pumps, and compressed-air diaphragm pumps convey these media in a manner suitable for the material and with process reliability. Explosion-proof versions compliant with ATEX are available for potentially explosive atmospheres.

  • Drum Pumps for Acids, Alkalis, and Coatings
  • Air-operated diaphragm pumps for aggressive chemicals
  • Explosion-proof versions compliant with ATEX 2014/34/EU
  • Materials suitable for corrosive media are available
