Thermoplastic Close-Coupled Centrifugal Pumps
transfer caustic/acidic chemicals and ultrapure fluids in restricted spaces

• Flows to 640 gpm (145 m3/h)
• Heads to 170 ft (52 m)
• Temps to 275°F (135°C)
• Construction: PP, PVC, PVDF

Vanton CHEM-GARD® CGC close-coupled, end suction thermoplastic centrifugal pumps are ideal for the dependable transfer of acidic, caustic and ultrapure chemicals when space is critical, and corrosion and contamination cannot be tolerated.

Ideal for retrofit and OEM applications, these pumps are approximately 20 percent shorter than long-coupled pumps, allowing installation in restricted spaces, while eliminating corrosion and fluid contamination associated with pumps constructed of stainless steel, wicking associated with fiberglass pumps, and delamination associated with plastic-lined metal pumps.

All pump components in contact with the fluid are injection molded of solid, chemically inert polypropylene (PP), polyvinyl

chloride (PVC) or polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), including virgin natural and pigment-free thermoplastics to assure the integrity of high purity water, chemicals, pharmaceuticals and semiconductor fluids.

Solid, thick-sectioned thermoplastic casings are additionally protected by structural metal armor, enabling CGC pumps to withstand the same nozzle loadings as metal pumps.

The wet end is comprised of solid, thick-sectioned, stand-alone components (unlike plastic linings), that are easily replaced, maximizing uptime while minimizing cost.

Vanton CGC pumps are available in your choice of tangential or centerline discharge that allows removal for maintenance without disturbing existing piping. Their innovative construction includes a pump shaft assembly completely independent of the motor shaft, minimizing maintenance and extending motor service life.
