German manufacturer Lutz Pumps has introduced a new chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pump tube to enhance safety and efficiency in transferring aggressive industrial chemicals. This vertical immersion pump aims to reduce workplace incidents associated with manual refilling by offering transfer rates up to 95 ℓ/min and minimizing spill risks. Made from robust CPVC, it resists harsh media, eliminates leak points, and provides a 20-30% more cost-effective solution than traditional alternatives.

German industrial pump manufacturer Lutz Pumps has launched a new chlorinated polyvinyl chloride (CPVC) pump tube, specifically designed to improve safety and operational efficiency during the transfer of aggressive chemicals used across various industrial processes. The company highlights that handling hazardous substances like sodium hypochlorite, acids, and alkalis manually poses significant risks to workers, contributing to numerous workplace incidents. For example, data from the US Bureau of Labour Statistics indicated that exposure to harmful substances caused 820 workplace fatalities in 2023. The new pump tube is configured as a vertical immersion pump with a depth of 99.06 cm, allowing direct insertion into drums and canisters. It operates with an electric or pneumatic motor to drive a radial impeller, facilitating liquid transfer at rates up to 95 ℓ/min and aiming to minimize the risk of spills. Optional dispensing nozzles and flow meters further support controlled dosing. Constructed from CPVC, the tube is highly resistant to aggressive media, flocculating agents, and common cleaning chemicals. Its design eliminates seals on components in contact with the medium, thereby reducing potential leak points. Furthermore, Lutz Pumps notes that the CPVC model offers a cost-effective alternative, being approximately 20% to 30% cheaper than traditional polyvinylidene fluoride pump tubes, while maintaining suitable performance for its intended media.
