Vanton's Thermoplastic CHEM-GARD CGA Pump Meets ANSI B-73.1 Standard

Plant services personnel and pump specifying engineers responsible for handling corrosive, abrasive and other aggressive fluids can now use CHEM-GARD CGA thermoplastic pumps which are inert to such liquids and thereby provide longer service life than metallic or fiberglass pumps. They meet ANSI B-73.1 standards and are metal armored, thereby enabling them to handle the same nozzle loadings as metal pumps. These centrifugal pumps are also offered in other designs including self-priming, close coupled, mag drive, combination close-coupled/mag drive, sealless, DIN as well as with motor types that have integral pump shafts.

Depending on the fluid handled, CGA pumps may be constructed of corrosion resistant thermoplastics such as polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) or other non-metallic materials. These pumps are manufactured by Vanton Pump and Equipment Corp., which designs and engineers each pump to a specific application and will use the right thermoplastic material to best perform that application.

CHEM-GARD CGA pumps feature unique, reverse-mounted seal arrangements thus avoiding metal contact with the fluid therefore eliminating the need for exotic metal seals. They are rated for flows up to 1450 GPM and heads to 400 feet.

About Vanton
Vanton Pump and Equipment Corp. manufactures chemically inert, thermoplastic pumps and systems that solve fluid containment, dosing and transfer problems. The company’s products feature wet-end components constructed of injection molded, homogenous thermoplastics. These inert thermoplastics are resistant to acids, caustics, salts, chlorides, halogens, and other aggressive or abrasive chemicals. Unlike metal pumps, there is no acceptance of annual corrosion levels. Unlike plastic or rubber lined pumps there is no wicking or abrading. And, unlike fiberglass reinforced plastics, thermoplastic pumps will not wick or pinhole.

Vanton pumps are engineered to individual requirements and are also available in a variety of vertical and horizontal configurations including: cantilevered, integral-motor shaft, bearingless, Vortex, DIN, and more. The company also supplies sump pumps to 28 feet in length.

Each Vanton pump undergoes thorough testing before shipping and is verified to perform to the customer’s desired flow and head specifications.

With a worldwide network of factory sales and service representatives, Vanton pump users are assured of timely, knowledgeable support service wherever they are located. For more information, visit www.vanton.com.
