Chemical Pumping Solutions for the Aerospace Industry

Precision, safety and performance: these three elements are the backbone of aerospace manufacturing. From advanced component fabrication to surface treatment processes, every process must develop seamless reliability when handling fluids. Crest Pumps supports the aerospace industry with performance chemical pumps that are made to handle the most challenging of fluids, providing efficiency and compliance with the very high standards of the aerospace industry.

Overcoming Aerospace Industry challenges with Crest Pumps

Crest Pumps has decades of experience working with many aerospace manufacturers, particularly Rolls-Royce and GKN Aerospace. Some of the common challenges we have helped them to solve include:

  • Component Fabrication: Each stage of the process needs precision and reliability, requiring pumping equipment that can tolerate high temperatures. 
  • Toxic & Aggressive Chemicals: These chemicals often need to be isolated for safety and compliance reasons. A non=corrosive durable and reliable pump is vital to prevent chemical leaks.
  • Surface Treatment & Chemical Transfer: We supply pumps that can handle the most volatile of fluids at high volume in the safest way possible.

Crest Pumps has decades of experience working with many aerospace manufacturers, particularly Rolls-Royce and GKN Aerospace. These typically involve chemical transfer, surface treatment and wastewater management solutions that are robust and corrosion resistant. They ensure running efficiency, compliance with regulatory norms and cost efficiency for meeting the industry's very stringent requirements.

  • Built for high-temperature processes: During component fabrication, pumping systems must maintain reliable flow under extreme temperatures. Crest Pumps are designed to offer thermal stability & consistent performance, ensuring precision at every stage of production.
  • Safe handling of toxic & aggressive chemicals: Our pumps are constructed using non-metallic, corrosion-resistant materials to provide leak-free operation, protect personnel, and meet strict safety standards
  • Efficient surface treatment & chemical transfer: Whether used for plating, anodising or cleaning, aerospace facilities rely on pumps that can handle volatile fluids at high volumes. Our solutions ensure safe, continuous transfer and are optimised to meet the demands of surface treatment systems
  • Designed for reliability & compliance: Crest Pumps are engineered for long-term reliability with minimal maintenance, helping customers achieve regulatory compliance, maximum uptime and operation efficiency.

Case Study

Custom Vertical Pump for Rolls-Royce

In 2017, Rolls-Royce purchased three new pumps to transfer 114m3/hr of Kerosene, Avtur Jet A-1 and Avgas 100LL as part of the engine testing systems. Crest HD-HG-RS pumps were supplied constructed from 316 Stainless Steel and Atex Zone 1 certification.

Case Study

Compact, Low-Maintenance Pumps for GKN

GKN Aerospace is a world leader in the supply of airframe and engine structures, landing gear, electrical interconnection systems, transparencies and aftermarket services

The AM50 ETFE Mag Drives were the perfect choice for their operations due to their small footprint, easy maintenance and pipework matching 1″ PVC connections.
