Pumps for alcohol

Pumps for alcohol

Special features of alcohol pumps

Anti-spark design
Materials and design must prevent the formation of sparks that can cause ignition of alcohol vapours.

Chemical corrosion resistance
The pump casing and working parts are made of materials resistant to ethanol and other alcohols (stainless steel, polypropylene, PVDF, etc.).

Tightness
Important to avoid leaks, especially as alcohol evaporates quickly and has a distinctive odour and forms explosive mixtures with air.

Explosion-proof version
For industrial applications, explosion-proof motors are often used in accordance with ATEX (in the EU) or other international standards.

Dry-running
It is advisable to have a pump that is protected against dry-running - running without liquid, which can cause overheating or damage.

Precise dosing
This is particularly important for production processes where precision is required when mixing ingredients (e.g. in the pharmaceutical or food industry).

Advantages of alcohol pumps

1. Safe handling of flammable substances

•  Explosion-proof models minimise the risk of fire.

2. Preservation of alcohol quality

•  Inert materials do not react with alcohol, which is important for pharmaceutical or food production.

3. The ability to accurately dispense liquid

•  Some models have a dosing function, which is important when mixing components.

4. Versatility

•  Many models are suitable for working with different concentrations of alcohol, as well as other chemically active liquids.

5. Easy to maintain

•  The design of the pumps allows for quick cleaning and maintenance, especially in food and pharmaceutical production.
