Hot & sticky, chemically aggressive, highly viscous and abrasive
Challenges of the chemical industry
The chemical industry is a large sector of the German industry. Many sectors of the economy are dependent on its products and developments. Whether in cleaning agents, paints, pharmaceuticals or smartphones - chemical substances are needed everywhere.
Due to the large number of different organic and inorganic substances in various viscosities, high demands are placed on the machines used. The properties of the media range from abrasive and viscous to chemically aggressive or even explosive, which poses major challenges for the machines. It is therefore essential to select the right materials for the machine components. For example, aggressive media can attack elastomers and steel components. Environmentally harmful substances are also used in this industry. Suitable sealing technology is essential to ensure that these media do not contaminate the environment. The same applies if the medium has to be transported in the production process without oxygen. For the supplying manufacturers, this means the highest quality, flexibility and documentation of the materials used in order to meet and satisfy these requirements.
WANGEN PUMPEN delivers this quality.
The design and manufacture of a reliable pump is our top priority. We are experts in the field of viscous and abrasive media in particular. So that pumps can be used in potentially explosive zones, we naturally offer the required ATEX versions. The elastomers and steels we use can withstand the media used in the chemical industry. Just like our double-acting mechanical seal technology, which keeps things tight - so that nothing can get to the medium. To ensure that we meet your requirements, we offer witness tests.
Our product portfolio includes progressive cavity and screw pumps that meet the requirements of the industry.
When spare parts are due, we know that every second counts. You will receive our spare parts within 24 hours.
