What is a Stainless Pump? Where is it used?
Stainless steel pumps are made of stainless steel, which is a strong and resistant material compared to other pumps. This article will serve as a guide if you need it.

Pumps made of stainless steel are resistant to solvents, acids, seawater, brine and other acidic substances. All stainless steel also contains austenite, an alloy containing chromium and nickel.

This combination of metals in the alloy gives the steel resistance to high temperatures and corrosion resistance.
Generally suitable for use in the food industry, stainless type pumps are mainly used in water supply, cooling and refrigeration technology, air conditioning, filtration, shipbuilding, apparatus engineering, energy technology and general mechanical engineering.
Wide application areas are available for simple requirements and clean or slightly contaminated liquids.
The outer stainless steel pump casing is the only part that can support the pump and motor weight in a vertically mounted position.
The internal design also prevents air from being trapped in the pump casing. The impellers on pumps supplied with 1.5-hp or larger 3-phase motors come standard with a left-hand threaded locking screw. This prevents the impeller from initially retracting the motor shaft when the motor is started in reverse.
Generally, stainless steel pumps have the same features as centrifugal pumps. Only the materials used in production are different. Horizontal suction and vertical discharge spout. Some models are also available with partial snail production.
Due to the open fan, they can also be used in particulate sewage and chemicals.
