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.  ## Where can I use Crest Pumps? ![metal-finishing-hotspot-crest-pumps](https://www.crestpumps.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Website/metal-finishing-hotspot-crest-pumps.webp?width=300&name=metal-finishing-hotspot-crest-pumps.webp) **Chemical Transfer:** Whether moving hazardous acids, alkalis or solvents, Crest offers a range of pumps - The Crest EOV, plus both ASSOMA & PTCXPump mag drive ranges are ideal - tailored to the application size and flow rate required. Offering excellent chemical resistance, leak-free operation and is available with ATEX certification for use in hazardous environments. **Acid Baths (Agitation & Recirculation):** Maintaining uniform chemical activity in acid baths is essential for consistent surface treatment, Debem AODD, ASSOMA plastic mag drives and the Crest SURGE range offer safe, reliable recirculation with excellent chemical compatibility, even with aggressive or fuming acids. **Heat Exchangers/Temperature Control:** To keep process tanks at optimum temperature both ASSOMA & SR pump ranges provide robust, energy-efficient recirculation for thermal stability across critical plating or etching processes - without the risk of chemical degradation. **Chemical Dosing & pH Control:** Accurate chemical metering is key to maintaining safe, effective bath chemistry. Steiel dosing pumps deliver precise dosing control for pH neutralisation and additive management, helping maintain tight process tolerances. **Effluent Handling & Chemical Recycling:** Debem AODD'S, SR Range, plus the Crest EOV & Crest vertical ranges are all well-suited for waste fluid transfer, whether you're loading to tankers, handling on-site treatment, or transferring recycled chemicals for reuse. Each option ensures chemical resistance, low maintenance & safe containment of hazardous effluents. ## Real Life Solutions for Real Life Challenges Crest Pumps has a long-standing reputation for supplying high-quality pumps to the metal finishing sector.
