Vanton Pumps FAQ
What are Vanton pumps used for?
They are considered for corrosive, abrasive, and contamination-sensitive fluid handling where compatible nonmetallic construction is useful. Suitability depends on the particular liquid and operating conditions.
What Vanton product families are available?
Vanton's range includes CHEM-GARD horizontal centrifugal pumps, SUMP-GARD vertical pumps, FLEX-I-LINER rotary pumps, and nonmetallic pump-and-tank systems.
Why choose thermoplastic wetted components?
A suitable thermoplastic can resist a specific chemical without introducing wetted metal surfaces. Selection still depends on concentration, temperature, mechanical loads, and abrasion.
Is every Vanton design a centrifugal pump?
No. The range includes different pumping principles. Identify the required flow, pressure, and liquid behavior before choosing a family.
What should be checked when selecting a vertical chemical-sump pump?
Provide sump depth, mounting details, liquid-level range, chemical properties, and solids information. Include space for installation and later removal.
Can nonmetallic pumps support high-purity processes?
They may suit applications where metallic contamination is a concern. Confirm all wetted materials, cleanliness requirements, and the process's acceptance criteria for the selected configuration.
What information is needed to check chemical compatibility?
Identify every chemical, concentration, temperature, and cleaning fluid. Compatibility must cover the casing, seals, gaskets, bearings, and other wetted components, including any changes during the process.
Can a chemical pump run dry?
Do not assume it can. Many designs depend on liquid for lubrication or cooling; follow the exact pump's operating limits and specify dry-run protection where appropriate.
Why is my chemical transfer pump losing flow?
Possible causes include gas in the suction line, restrictions, worn components, changed viscosity, or insufficient inlet pressure. Compare operating measurements with the selected pump's performance curve.
What should I do if the pump leaks chemical?
Follow the facility's isolation and spill-response procedures and have qualified personnel inspect the system. Provide the chemical details and operating conditions before arranging repair or replacement parts.
Does a sealless pump eliminate every possible leak?
No. Removing a dynamic shaft seal addresses one leakage path, but piping joints, static seals, and containment components still need correct installation, compatible materials, and inspection.
Why does liquid temperature affect pump selection?
Temperature changes viscosity, vapor pressure, and material limits. Review normal operation, startup, cleaning, and upset conditions so the pump remains suitable throughout the intended duty.
How often should chemical pumps be maintained?
Follow the model's schedule and adjust inspection frequency for the fluid and operating history. Document containment condition, performance trends, and any protective-device alarms.
Can a chemical pump be rebuilt?
Often, but inspection must establish whether wetted parts and containment components remain serviceable. Provide decontamination information and compare repair scope with the cost and suitability of replacement.
How can I get local support for Vanton Pumps?
Contact Process & Power at (901) 362-5500 with your location, equipment identification, and application or service concern. The team can review selection, parts, and service options for your needs.
What should I send when requesting a quote?
Include the required duty, fluid or process details, operating conditions, utilities, and installation dimensions. For existing equipment, add nameplate photos, model and serial numbers, and a description of the problem or planned change.
