Reliable, Corrosion-Resistant Pumps for the Metal Finishing Industry
Metal finishing is a challenging industry for any pumping solution. For processes like electroplating, anodising or chemical etching, being able to rely on pump performance and lifespan is crucial. One of the challenges our customers in the metal finishing industry face are unique and require specialised pumping solutions and expertise:
- Energy efficiency and cost-effectiveness: The running costs in metal finishing can be high, meaning a need for energy-efficient pumps that reduce waste and maximise productivity.
- Efficiency and reliability in process: Any failure of the pumping process will drive the creation of defective coatings or inconsistent finishes.
- Health, safety & environmental compliance: The handling of hazardous chemicals demands rigorous adherence to regulations and best practice to guarantee worker safety and environmental protection.
- Corrosion and degradation of mechanical components: Many metal finishing processes use very aggressive chemicals that require highly resistant materials in the constructions of pumps to prevent failures and downtime.
Crest Pumps has many years of experience in supplying corrosion-resistant pumps that can cope with the hazardous chemicals and extreme temperatures involved in metal finishing applications. Whether its electroplating, anodising or chemical etching, the quality of the final product is only as reliable as the pump behind the process.
- Energy efficiency & cost effectiveness: With long running hours and high chemical volumes, operations costs can be significant. Crest Pumps are engineered for high energy efficiency, helping to reduce waste, minimise energy consumption , and improve long-term cost performance without compromising output.
- Process reliability & consistent performance: Crest Pumps are built for continuous operation, delivering stable flow rates and chemical compatibility to ensure high quality finished across every batch.
- Health, safety & environmental compliance: Crest's seal-less and leak-free pump designs help meet strict health and environmental standards, protecting both personnel and the surrounding environment from hazardous exposure.
- Corrosion resistance & longevity: Our pumps are constructed from advanced corrosion-resistant materials, ensuring long service life, reduced downtime and fewer replacements - even in the harshest chemical environments.
